Man Who Walked Backwards
The Backward Journey of Life: Embracing Change and Facing Truth
Lyrics
The Man Who Walked Backwards, he lived a funny life
The Man Who Walked Backwards lived an unconventional life.
He said hello when he was leaving and goodbye when he arrived
He had a unique way of greeting and departing, suggesting a paradoxical nature.
He turned his back on everyone People thought him rude
He distanced himself from others, leading to perceptions of rudeness.
But truth is he couldn’t face it so he changed his attitude
His avoidance stemmed from an inability to confront certain aspects of life.
He said:
“No Future. There is only time
He expressed a pessimistic view, emphasizing the dominance of time.
Everything repeats itself. There is no use in trying
Life seems repetitive, and futile efforts are implied.
I couldn’t keep up so I turned myself around Everything goes up
He turned away from the constant struggle, suggesting a change in perspective.
And everything keeps going down”
Highlighting the cyclical nature of ups and downs in life.
The doctor called it shellshock . The shrink said PTS
Medical labels like "shellshock" and "PTS" were used, but the root cause was stress from a forward-oriented life.
But the fact was that the forward life just gave him too much stress.
The forward-facing life became overwhelming for him.
People always talk shit so he came to the conclusion,
Dealing with negativity from others, he concluded that front and back are merely illusions.
that the difference between front and back is just optical illusion…
The distinction between front and back is seen as a subjective perception.
He said:
Reiteration of a bleak outlook, emphasizing the inevitability of time.
“No Future. There is only time.
Life is portrayed as a repetitive cycle with no discernible progress.
Everything repeats itself. There is no use in trying
He turned away from the struggle, acknowledging the futility of trying to change.
I couldn’t keep up so I turned myself around Everything goes up
Life's fluctuations are highlighted, emphasizing their cyclical nature.
And everything keeps going down”
The constant ups and downs are an inescapable part of existence.
