Take This
Ephemeral Echoes: Embracing Life's Bittersweet Symphony
Lyrics
Take this thing
Invitation to accept something
And hold it in the palm of your hand
Encouragement to handle a situation delicately
Let it sting
Suggesting the experience might be painful
But hold it there as long as you can
Enduring discomfort for a longer-lasting outcome
You're gonna miss it one day when the planes are up
Anticipation of nostalgia for the present moment
You're gonna miss the things that were never good enough
Regret for underappreciated aspects of life
Take this string
Symbolic reference, possibly connection or bond
And wrap it twice around the globe
Global connection represented by a string
Even all those kings
Even powerful figures face challenges
Are gonna be weeping on their velvet thrones
Suggesting universal vulnerability
The bruises in your brain, the liquor in your blood
Dangers in mental and physical aspects
They're gonna get you if you don't begin to run
The need to take action to avoid negative consequences
I had a dream, in it, we were taken by the flood
Dream imagery, facing challenges together
And when the water drained, we were laying by the cusp
Surviving challenges and finding a new beginning
Nothing in this world wasn't made for us
A sense of purpose and belonging
I tried to break away and it was dangerous
Struggling to break free, facing risks
We never got the time, we never got the sleep
Lamenting lack of time and rest
Running on the incline, but the hill was too steep
Facing challenges that seem insurmountable
Nothing in this world wasn't made for us
Reiteration of the universal nature of challenges
I tried to break away and it was dangerous
Re-emphasizing the danger in breaking away
We never got the time, we never got the sleep
Highlighting the scarcity of time and rest
Running on the incline, but the hill was too steep
Repeating the difficulty in overcoming obstacles
Gotta make way for atomic bombs
Introducing destructive forces
And the golden vials, and the seven stars
Referencing apocalyptic symbols
Just when we got it all right is when we got it wrong
Timing and perception can lead to mistakes
And what we thought we didn't have had been there all along
A realization about overlooked opportunities
Take those reins
Symbols of control and guidance
And cut 'em just a little more slack
Allowing more freedom but with caution
And if they start to feign the strain
Warning against pushing limits too far
Then you can try to pull them back
Suggesting the need for restraint
But your veins are gonna start to crack in half
Physical and metaphorical strain leading to breakdown
I was toiling in mediocrity when I met you
Repeated acknowledgment of a transformative encounter
I was toiling in mediocrity when I met you
-I was toiling in mediocrity when I met you
-I was spoiling in the viscosity when I met you
-Nothing in this world wasn't made for us
Reiteration of challenges and dangers
I tried to break away and it was dangerous
-We never got the time, we never got the sleep
-Running on the incline, but the hill was too steep
-Nothing in this world wasn't made for us
-I tried to break away and it was dangerous
-We never got the time, we never got the sleep
-Running on the incline, but the hill was too steep
-I was toiling in mediocrity when I met you
-I was toiling in mediocrity when I met you
-I was toiling in mediocrity when I met you
-I was spoiling in the viscosity when I met you
-Nothing in this world wasn't made for us
-I tried to break away and it was dangerous
-We never got the time, we never got the sleep
-Running on the incline, but the hill was too steep
-Nothing in this world wasn't made for us
-I tried to break away and it was dangerous
-We never got the time, we never got the sleep
-Running on the incline, but the hill was too steep
-Like a comet coming fast at us
Metaphorical description of impending danger
Like a comet coming fast at us
-Like a comet coming fast at us
-Like a comet coming fast at us
-Like a comet coming fast at us
-Like a comet coming fast at us
-Like a comet coming fast at us
-Like a comet coming fast at us
Reiteration of the imminent threat
