Seven Wonders
Chasing Illusions: Unveiling Life's Seven Wonders
Lyrics
When shadows fall, he'll close his eyes to hear the clocks unwind
When darkness falls, he will close his eyes to listen to the unraveling of time.
Powerless to leash the hands of time
Unable to control or restrain the progression of time.
Kingdoms fall, the earth revolves, the rain will come this spring
Empires collapse, the world continues its orbit, and the inevitable rain will arrive in spring. Nothing he says can alter these natural occurrences.
And nothing he could say could change a thing.
Regardless of what he expresses verbally, it won't have any impact on the unfolding events.
Seven wonders crowed the man
The man boasts about seven wonders, but only one remains, as six have disappeared.
Knowing six are gone
A realization that most of the wonders he once possessed are now lost.
And how the great illusion lingers on
Reflecting on the enduring influence of a powerful illusion.
He can't enfold the sun or moon, or wind within his hands
He lacks control over celestial elements like the sun, moon, and wind, but he frequently declares his significance.
But count the times he'll shout the great I am
Despite his inability to command natural forces, he repeatedly asserts his greatness.
With all the while a pontiff smile, veiling his disgrace
Presenting a confident smile while concealing his shame and failure, never achieving more than second place.
At never owning more than second place
Expressing the disappointment of consistently falling short of being the best.
Seven wonders crowed the man
Similar to the earlier claim, seven wonders were once boasted, but now only one remains.
Knowing six are gone
Acknowledging the loss of six wonders and contemplating the lasting impact of a grand illusion.
And how the great illusion lingers on
Reflecting on the enduring influence of a powerful illusion.
Seven wonders crowed the man
Repeating the assertion of seven wonders with the awareness that most have vanished.
Knowing six are gone
Understanding the loss of six wonders and emphasizing the continuation of a grand illusion.
And how the great illusion lingers, oh the grand illusion lingers,
Highlighting the persistence of the grand illusion while acknowledging the lingering confusion.
While the sad confusion lingers on
Expressing the enduring nature of the grand illusion amidst ongoing confusion.
La da da da
Repetition of nonspecific vocalizations, possibly representing the ongoing, cyclic nature of illusions and confusion.
