Embracing the Transience: Unveiling the Essence of 'rbbts' by Kate Davis
Lyrics
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing is permanent or everlasting.
You can’t ever hold on
You cannot tightly cling to things or people.
Too tight
If you hold on too tightly, the essence will slip away.
The skin will slip away
The outer layer, like skin, will slip away.
And in no time we’ll see
Over time, we will witness the emergence of light.
The light
Symbolic reference to understanding or clarity.
This is me calling
The singer is reaching out or attempting to connect.
Cause I really wanna see you tonight
Expressing a strong desire to meet or see someone tonight.
This is me calling
Reiterating the urgency for the other person to let them in emotionally.
Cause you really need to let me inside
Emphasizing the need to open up and share inner feelings.
Your heart
Despite desires, outcomes are uncertain.
No matter what you want there are
No guaranteed results, regardless of one's wishes.
Never any guarantees
Life lacks assurances or certainties.
But just before sunrise
Just before dawn, the person is still present.
you’re still right here with me
A sense of closeness or connection before a new beginning.
This is me noticing
The singer is observing or becoming aware of a significant moment.
That this time the stars have aligned
Noting that circumstances have aligned favorably.
This is me saying
Asserting the need for the other person to make a decision.
That you really need to make up your mind
Stressing the importance of choosing a direction this time.
This time
Emphasizing the current moment or situation.
Tell me what are you afraid of
Asking the person about their fears.
Why do you hide?
Questioning why the person is hiding their true self.
Show me everything you feel
Requesting complete emotional openness.
And fear inside
Asking the person to reveal their inner fears.
Cause I’m running
Expressing a sense of urgency or pursuit.
I’m running
Repeating the act of running, suggesting time constraints.
Meet me in the morning
Repeated call to meet during the morning twilight.
Indigo skyline twilight
-Meet me in the morning
-Indigo skyline twilight
-Meet me in the morning
-Indigo skyline twilight
-Tell me what are you afraid of
Reiteration of asking about fears, hiding, and revealing emotions.
Why do you hide?
-Show me everything you feel
-And fear inside
-What are you afraid of
-Why do you hide?
-Show me everything you feel
-And fear inside
-Cause I’m running
Expressing a sense of running out of time.
I’m running out of time
Highlighting the urgency of the situation.
