Pups To Dust
Journey of Existence: From Pups to Dust
Lyrics
Our hearts don't change from pups to dust
Our essence remains constant from infancy to mortality.
Couldn't see clearly
Uncertainty or lack of clarity in perception.
But I had a sense of what right and wrong was
Despite unclear vision, a moral compass guides actions.
Honest to God, I was honest as hell
Sincere and truthful, perhaps to an extreme extent.
I don't lie very often but I lie very well
Infrequent lies are well-executed when spoken.
Give it away, take what you need
Generosity and sharing coexist with taking what one requires.
Love does not cost money, but it ain't free
Love is valuable, not monetarily costly, but it demands a price.
We're learning slowly
Gradual understanding or acquisition of knowledge.
Equal parts of what you do, you don't
Life involves both affirmative and negative actions.
We don't remember
Loss of memory about past experiences.
We don't remember just how we got here
Uncertain recollection of the journey leading to the present.
Equal parts of what we do, we don't
Balance between what is done and what is avoided.
We don't belong here
Feeling out of place, not belonging to the current situation.
We were just born here
Existence is an innate condition, not a choice.
We remain the same (I'm not sure about that)
Uncertainty about remaining the same over time.
Or pretty much the same (Now that's more like it)
Acceptance of remaining largely unchanged.
From birth to grave, I couldn't see so clearly what I was or became
Lack of clear understanding about one's identity or transformation.
Oh, I missed a spot (Scrubba scrubba scrubba scrubba)
Playful acknowledgment of missed aspects in self-reflection.
On my dirty thoughts
Acknowledgment of impurity in one's thoughts.
The way we feel about what we do is by who has watched us, so
Recognition that judgment of actions is influenced by observers.
Aw, how'd we get here?
Reflection on the current state of being and questioning its origin.
Equal parts of what we do, we don't
Balance between actions and inactions shapes our memories.
We don't remember
Loss of memory about the journey of birth.
We were just born here though
Affirmation of being born without a clear purpose or memory.
Oh, what's the bother?
Rhetorical questioning of the significance of current concerns.
Equal parts of what you do, you don't
Actions are a mix of positive and negative, with memory lapses.
We don't remember
Loss of memory about the purpose or meaning of existence.
We were just born here
Reiteration of being born without a sense of belonging.
We don't belong here
Reiteration of feeling out of place in the current context.
We were just born here
Confirmation of existence as an innate condition.
I feel so anxious mostly all of the time
Expression of pervasive anxiety throughout most of one's life.
If there's some point to this then which one is mine?
Questioning the purpose or significance of individual experiences.
We really don't belong here, we really ought to wander
Feeling of not belonging, suggesting a need for exploration.
We really don't belong here, we really ought to wander
Reiteration of the sense of not fitting in, emphasizing the need to wander.
We really don't belong here, we really ought to wander away
Repetition of the idea that one should explore beyond current circumstances.
