Contemplation
Unveiling Life's True Colors: Contemplation by Jakob Duda
Lyrics
You think that you've seen it all
You believe you've experienced everything
Until your head hits the wall
Until you face a significant obstacle or problem
Sophisticated explanations
Elaborate justifications
To cover up your desperation
To conceal your extreme hopelessness or despair
And deep inside you know that... Noone knows
Internally, you're aware that nobody truly understands
Happiness don't lie in contemplation I know you might
True happiness isn't found in overthinking, although you might
Ask your self what the meaning is
Question yourself about the purpose
It may turn out that its meaningless
It might reveal itself to lack significance
So what about smiling just like that.
Consider the idea of smiling without a specific reason
In your despair you think that
Amidst your hopelessness, you associate wisdom with old age
Wisdom comes with grey hair
Belief that knowledge comes with aging
But what if all those greybeards only act as if they knew
What if older people pretend to know, but they don't?
But the notion helps so I keep repeating it myself
Repetition of this belief to oneself for comfort
Saying "some day, when I'm wise and old"
Expressing the desire to be wise and old someday
Happiness don't lie in contemplation I know you might
Authentic happiness isn't found in deep reflection, even though you might
Ask your self what the meaning is
Question the purpose to yourself
It may turn out that its meaningless
Discover it might lack meaning
So what about smiling just like that.
Consider the idea of smiling without a specific reason
Philosophers they came and went
Philosophers have appeared and disappeared
Some of them claim to understand
Some claim to comprehend
And if you ask they raise their hands
When asked, they assert their understanding
But then again
But there's uncertainty
Happiness don't lie in contemplation I know you might
True happiness isn't found in overthinking, although you might
Ask your self what the meaning is
Question yourself about the purpose
It may turn out that its meaningless
It might reveal itself to lack significance
So what about smiling just like that.
Consider the idea of smiling without a specific reason
