Embracing Nature's Cycle
Lyrics
We just had our first real snow of the year
We recently experienced the first significant snowfall of the year.
It's got me feeling kinda cagey I must say
This event has made me feel restless or anxious.
Makes me want to race up to the mountains so damn quickly
It motivates me to quickly head to the mountains.
Feel that pressure in my ears
Expressing the sensation of pressure in the ears, possibly due to changes in altitude.
Let the sky and trees and rivers make me feel real small
Desire to experience the vastness of nature—sky, trees, and rivers—feeling small in a positive way.
In a good way
Emphasizing the positive emotions associated with feeling small in nature.
I wanna see precipitation falling on the continental divide
Expressing a desire to witness precipitation on the continental divide.
I'd take a raindrop or a snowflake or a piece of sleet or slush or hail or ice
Willingness to embrace various forms of precipitation like raindrops, snowflakes, sleet, slush, hail, or ice.
Ride a river down a mountain to the ocean evaporate into the sky
Envisioning a journey from a mountain to the ocean through a river, with a transformation into vapor and rising into the sky.
Condensate into a cloud, get real high, float around for a little while
Describing the process of condensation into a cloud and the experience of floating in the atmosphere.
I guess we're all just mostly water
Reflection on the shared nature of being mostly composed of water.
Think I learned that one in science class
Recalling learning about the water composition of the human body in a science class.
To be precise, 'bout 60 percent of you is water
Stating the precise percentage of the human body that is water (60%).
On a skeleton in bags
Illustrating the concept of the human body being like a skeleton contained in bags.
Don't you know the same goes for all of our mother earth
Extending the idea that Earth shares the same composition, emphasizing interconnectedness.
Every day you drink some, give some back
Highlighting the cyclical nature of water, emphasizing giving back to the Earth through consumption.
When I die my water will live on in her
Contemplating the continuity of water after death and its contribution to the Earth.
Conserve that energy and mass
Encouraging the conservation of both energy and mass.
Someday we'll all be precipitation falling on the continental divide
Imagining a future where everyone becomes precipitation on the continental divide.
I'd take a raindrop or a snowflake or a piece of sleet or slush or hail or ice
Expressing a willingness to embrace various forms of precipitation in this envisioned future.
Ride a river down a mountain to the ocean evaporate into the sky
Describing the cyclical journey of water from a mountain to the ocean and back to the sky.
Condensate into a cloud, get real high, float around for a little while
Reiterating the process of condensation into a cloud and the experience of floating in the atmosphere in the envisioned future.
