Everybody Knows This Fear
Embracing Life's Shadows: Unveiling Universal Fears through Matt F Basler's Melody
Lyrics
I'm laying here with empty hands
I'm feeling empty and powerless.
I can't make anymore demands
I can't ask for more; I'm at a limit.
I'm not sure if I've done good
I'm uncertain about whether my actions were positive.
I lived it like I thought I should, you told me
I lived my life as I believed was right, guided by your advice.
Everybody knows this fear
A recurring theme: everyone experiences a common fear.
Everybody knows this fear
-Everybody knows this fear
-Everybody knows this fear
-Dress me up in my best shirt
Dress me in my best attire, possibly for a significant event.
Put me down into the dirt
Place me in the ground; possibly a metaphor for facing challenges or difficulties.
Don't you waste a single tear
Don't mourn for me; this situation shouldn't cause sadness.
Soon enough we'll all be here, they told me
We'll all face this eventually; it's a shared experience.
Everybody knows this fear
Reiteration of the pervasive nature of the fear.
Everybody knows this fear
-Everybody knows this fear
-Everybody knows this fear
-Can you tell me what awaits me
Asking about the future; seeking information or clarity.
Maybe I don't want to know where I'm going
Expressing uncertainty or reluctance about knowing one's destination.
Can you sell me on a story
Seeking a compelling narrative that validates one's worth.
that makes me feel like I was worth knowing
Desiring a story that makes life meaningful and memorable.
Now I've gone into the west
Moved towards the end, perhaps metaphorically "into the west."
Chased the sun to where it sets
Chasing the sun symbolizes pursuing dreams or goals.
Slipped away, said goodbye
Departing without fanfare, saying goodbye.
I hope you'll think of the good times, please tell me
Hoping others remember the positive moments.
Everybody knows this fear
Reiteration of the universal nature of the shared fear.
Everybody knows this fear
-Everybody knows this fear
-Everybody knows this fear
