Restless Farewell
Time's Unfolding Tapestry: A Farewell to Regret and Embrace of Tomorrow
Lyrics
Oh all the money that in my whole life I did spend,
Reflecting on a lifetime's spending, irrespective of rightful ownership.
Be it mine right or wrongfully,
Whether the money was rightfully mine or not.
I let it slip gladly past the hands of my friends
Choosing to let money pass through the hands of friends willingly.
To tie up the time most forcefully.
Investing time intensely and purposefully.
But the bottles are done,
Referencing the completion of a drinking session and a full table.
We've killed each one
-And the table's full and overflowed.
-And the corner sign
Indicating the end of a gathering as the place is closing.
Says it's closing time,
-So I'll bid farewell and be down the road.
-Oh ev'ry girl that ever I've touched,
Denying intentional harm to any girl but acknowledging unintentional hurt.
I did not do it harmfully.
-And ev'ry girl that ever I've hurt,
-I did not do it knowin'ly.
-But to remain as friends and make amends
Recognizing the need for time to remain friends and make amends.
You need the time and stay behind.
-And since my feet are now fast
Turning away from the past, bidding farewell, and moving forward.
And point away from the past,
-I'll bid farewell and be down the line.
-Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced,
Facing foes without regret or shame, acknowledging the pre-existence of causes.
The cause was there before we came.
-And ev'ry cause that ever I fought,
-I fought it full without regret or shame.
-But the dark does die
Accepting the inevitable end, likening it to the dawn after the dark.
As the curtain is drawn and somebody's eyes
-Must meet the dawn.
-And if I see the day
Contemplating staying if the day comes, deciding to bid farewell in the night.
I'd only have to stay,
-So I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone.
-Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,
Expressing the potential insanity of unresolved thoughts and the purpose of sharing stories.
I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
-But it's not to stand naked under unknowin' eyes,
-It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
-But the time ain't tall,
Highlighting the importance of time, emphasizing its impartiality.
Yet on time you depend and no word is possessed
-By no special friend.
-And though the line is cut,
Recognizing a severed connection but expressing continuity and hope for future meetings.
It ain't quite the end,
-I'll just bid farewell till we meet again.
-Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Facing challenges posed by false accusations and rumors.
To disgrace, distract, and bother me.
-And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,
-And the dust of rumors covers me.
-But if the arrow is straight
Acknowledging the power of truth to cut through adversity.
And the point is slick,
-It can pierce through dust no matter how thick.
-So I'll make my stand
Deciding to stand firm, be oneself, and not care about external judgments.
And remain as I am
-And bid farewell and not give a damn.
