Last Sunset of the Century
Embracing Shadows: Reflections on the Last Sunset of the Century
Lyrics
I sold my mind off for the company stocks
I sacrificed my intellectual independence for ownership in the company.
I told myself that I was standing on top
I convinced myself that I had achieved a high status.
The world's my oyster, I've got every choice here
I have abundant opportunities and options in the world.
There's nothing that I cannot achieve
I believe there are no limits to what I can accomplish.
As long as the taxman doesn't bring his axe-hand
My success relies on avoiding tax-related challenges.
To all the things I believe
Concerns about external threats to my beliefs.
I'll be fine
Reassuring oneself that everything will be alright.
I'll be fine
-I'm cold and naked in the light of the grey
Feeling exposed and vulnerable in a stark reality.
I'm older so now I should be wiser, they say
Despite aging, wisdom seems elusive.
But I'm still playing games with words I'm saying
Engaging in deceptive communication to prove oneself right.
Just trying to convince you I'm right
Struggling to justify one's perspective.
And I can't take it, even if I make it
Expressing an inability to cope even with success.
The tunnel doesn't have enough light
The path forward seems dim and challenging.
I'll be fine
Repeated self-assurances of being fine.
I'll be fine
-I'll be fine
-I'll be fine
-It's past, going fast, it's the last
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of time and the significance of the current moment as the last sunset of the century.
Sunset of the century
-It's past, going fast, it's the last
-Sunset of the century
-It's past, going fast, it's the last
-Sunset of the century
-It's past, going fast, it's the last
-Sunset of the century
