Momentary Traces
Chasing Shadows: Unveiling Life's Fleeting Echoes
Lyrics
It's time I give up and I tell myself
Contemplating giving up and admitting to oneself
It's easier said than done
Expressing that talking about it is easier than taking action
It's hard enough to live day to day
Highlighting the difficulty of living in a chaotic world
In a world that has come undone
Describing a world that seems to be falling apart
I've given it all just to fall so short
Invested a lot but fell short, questioning the worth of the fight
Has it even been worth the fight
Reflecting on the value of the struggle
But it's you that I want
Expressing a desire for a specific person
And it's you that I need
Emphasizing the importance of that person
When I fall asleep at night
Referencing thoughts during sleep, possibly dreaming of the person
It's here where I fall
Pointing to a vulnerable state or a place of emotional descent
And here where I drown
Indicating a struggle and emotional drowning
Here where I've come undone
Describing a state of coming apart or breaking down
It's here where I'm freed
Suggesting liberation or relief in a specific state or with a person
And here where I'm known
Highlighting a place of recognition or familiarity
Here where I'll reach the sun
Desiring to reach a positive or elevated state
I wanna know wanna know where wanna know where
Expressing a strong curiosity about origins
Know where it comes from
Questioning the source of certain behaviors or feelings
The need to put yourself
Commenting on the tendency to prioritize oneself
Above it all
Reflecting on placing oneself above others
I wanna know wanna know where wanna know where
Reiterating the curiosity about origins and destinations
Know where we go to
Questioning where time is spent when not bought
When we spend the time
Considering the use of time that wasn't purchased
That wasn't bought
Reflecting on the daily contemplation of a particular thought
I think about it daily
Expressing a persistent and clear mental inundation
And it floods my head so plainly I can't deny
Acknowledging temporary imprints or influences of our actions
Acknowledging the momentary traces of ourselves
Reflecting on the traces we leave behind in passing moments
We leave behind
Expressing awareness of our fleeting impact on the world
I wanna know wanna know where wanna know where
Reiterating curiosity about the origins of certain behaviors
Know where it comes from
Questioning the source of the need to prioritize oneself
The need to put yourself
Reflecting on the tendency to put oneself above others
Above it all
Reiterating curiosity about origins and destinations
I wanna know wanna know where wanna know where
Questioning where time is spent when not bought
Know where we go to
Considering the use of time that wasn't purchased
When we spend the time
Reflecting on the daily contemplation of a particular thought
That wasn't bought
Expressing a persistent and clear mental inundation
I think about it daily
Acknowledging temporary imprints or influences of our actions
And it floods my head so plainly I can't deny
Reflecting on the traces we leave behind in passing moments
Acknowledging the momentary traces of ourselves
Expressing awareness of our fleeting impact on the world
We leave behind
Concluding with a final acknowledgment of transient legacies
