The Days Of Life
Embracing Life's Journey: A Poetic Odyssey by Mark Rosal
Lyrics
The days of life are rolling by
The passage of time in life
Like a rainbow bridge in a golden sky
Metaphorical imagery of life's beauty and transience
Though no one knows how or why
The uncertainty and mystery surrounding life
No one knows
Emphasizing the unknowable nature of life
The days of life are shining through
The brightness and clarity of life's moments
Like a crystal vision of something new
An optimistic view of a promising future
When we will learn to choose
The idea of making choices and decisions
We will learn
Emphasizing the aspect of learning from choices
I stand
Expressing the different experiences and emotions in life
I fall
-I struggle to crawl
-I laugh
-I scream
-I find what's in between
-In between
-What's in between
-The days of life are moving on
Life's continual progression
Like a moment's bliss in your lover's arms
Comparing life's fleeting moments to love's embrace
In a land that's far from all harm
A place of safety and tranquility
Far from all harm
Highlighting a distance from danger or trouble
The days of life are breaking free
The liberation experienced in life
Like a perfect gift you can't keep
Implies the impossibility of holding onto perfection
As you wait so patiently
Patience in waiting for ideal circumstances
Wait so patiently
Emphasizing the endurance and tolerance in waiting
I stand
Reiteration of various emotional and experiential states in life
I fall
-I struggle to crawl
-I laugh
-I scream
-I find what's in between
-In between
-What's in between
-The days of life are rolling by
Repetition of the passing of time metaphor
Like a rainbow bridge in a golden sky
Reiteration of life's beauty and transience metaphor
The days of life are shining through
Re-emphasis on the brightness and clarity of life
Like a crystal vision of something new
Reiteration of optimism for a new and clear future
The days of life are moving on
Repetition of life's continual progression
Like a moment's bliss in your lover's arms
Re-emphasis on life's fleeting moments likened to love's embrace
The days of life are breaking free
Reiteration of the liberation experienced in life
Like a perfect gift you can't keep
Highlighting the fleeting nature of perfection in life
Like a perfect gift you can't keep
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of cherished moments
