Rough Times
Navigating Turbulence: Luka Kuplowsky's Reflection on Loss and Liberation
Lyrics
I never cared to think
I have never bothered to consider
If I hurt anyone
If I caused pain to anyone
(Softening blows from the rising sun)
(Softening the impact of difficulties as symbolized by the rising sun)
I never thought if I was fun
I never cared if I was enjoyable or entertaining
One dream
One aspiration or goal
Torn apart in anger
Torn apart due to anger
Stretched across a canvas
Stretched across a canvas, possibly a metaphor for a disrupted artistic endeavor
Projected on a screen
Projected on a screen, suggesting public display or scrutiny
One dream
The same dream can be diminished or made insignificant
Can be reduced to nothing
Reduced to nothingness
Hold on
Hold on to memories
To remembering
Hold on to creativity
Hold on
Encouraging to remain active to avoid stagnation
To creativity
Mourning brings a peculiar and unexpected breeze
Try to be active or you'll freeze
(Blank line for emphasis or pause)
Mourning brings the strangest
Difficult times
Breeze
Surprised or impacted by love unexpectedly
Rough times
Expressing challenging circumstances
Blindsided by love
Caught off guard by love
You wrote poetry
Writing poetry
In a state of perpetual boredom
In a perpetual state of boredom
Could it be
Wondering if the person was truly free
You were free as one can and always be?
(Blank line for emphasis or pause)
I can't remember
Memory loss or difficulty recalling vibrant skies
The sky having so much colour
The sky appearing more colorful than remembered
Or the clouds so wild and bothered
Clouds appearing turbulent and troubled
The world refreshed
The world rejuvenated by what has been lost
By what is lost
(Blank line for emphasis or pause)
