Eternal Resilience: Nine Year Sister's Ashtray Revelations
Lyrics
I never died
I faced challenges but survived
When winter came I was alive
I thrived even during difficult times
And I ran away
I escaped from a situation
To keep me safe
To ensure my safety
Tallied the walls 'til the spring arrived
I patiently waited until spring came
I never cried
I didn't express my emotions outwardly
I wanted to thousands of times
Despite wanting to cry numerous times
When I thought of you
Thinking of you brought emotional turmoil
Old words seemed new
Old memories resurfaced as if they were new
Hiding my face as they came to life
I hid my emotions while they became real
I will never see it coming
Unpredictable events won't surprise me
But I know that I will be there on the last day
I am aware that I will be present on the final day
When we leap out of the fire
We will emerge from challenges like a leap from fire
And we leave it all behind us in the ashtray
We will leave everything behind in the past (ashtray)
Taken away
Taken away from current circumstances
One man was blind
A person lacked physical sight but had insight
But he could see out of his mind
He could perceive beyond the physical
And he spoke to me ten pages deep
Received profound advice extending ten pages
Said give me your heart and I'll be your eyes
Offered to exchange hearts for shared vision
That was the start
This marked the beginning of a significant change
Kingdoms started falling apart
Kingdoms or significant aspects of life started deteriorating
Soon the dust will breathe in golden streets
Inevitable changes will bring prosperity
Second hand marking the end of time
The ticking of time signals the conclusion
I will never see it coming
Similar to line 12, hinting at unexpected events
But I know that I will be there on the last day
Confident about being present on the ultimate day
