Cupboard
Reflections in Dust: Unveiling Time's Illusion
Lyrics
I cleaned out my cupboard
I cleared out my cupboard
Read the expiration date
Checked the expiration date
It said August 2015
Expiration date: August 2015
I put it back down in its place
Returned the item to its place
I must have bought these dry goods
Realized I purchased these dry goods when I moved in
The week that I got in
They've remained untouched since then
They haven't moved an inch
No movement; covered in dust
Dust settled where they sit
Dust settled in their stationary state
I began thinking
Contemplation begins
I sat down to write this song
Sat down to write this song
That's why I can't do much for too long
Difficulty in sustained effort due to contemplation
I can't do much for too long
Challenges in maintaining productivity
Reality is electric
Reality is described as electric
Not in matter, but in fact
Electricity in the context of reality, not material substance
And time is an illusion
Time is an illusion
For knowledge that we lack
Time's perception is influenced by our limited knowledge
What have I been doing
Reflecting on past actions and time spent
and where has the time gone?
Wondering where time has passed
I must be a time traveler
Expressing a sense of disorientation in time
I know not much I have done
Acknowledging a lack of awareness of personal achievements
I began thinking
Reflecting continues
I sat down to write this song
Resumes writing the song
That's why I can't do much for too long
Struggling with extended periods of activity
I can't do much for too long
Reiteration of difficulty in sustained effort
I began thinking
Contemplation recurs
I sat down to write this song
Resumes songwriting
That's why I can't do much for too long
Struggling with prolonged engagement
I can't do much for too long
Reiteration of the challenge in maintaining effort
