Body In The Lake
Embracing Life's Ephemeral Dance
Lyrics
Life never gives it only lends
Life is not permanent; it only provides temporary experiences.
You try to keep it there's no chance
Attempting to hold on to life's moments is futile.
Life never gives it only lends
Life reiterates its transient nature.
Learn to enjoy and let go when it ends
Learn to appreciate and release when life's experiences conclude.
One less sun on the run
A metaphorical reference to a diminished sense of optimism.
Luckiest guy I ever met the tide has turned
The speaker considers themselves fortunate as circumstances change positively.
The fire burned took all it could get
A past hardship that took everything it could.
Mmm, when that sun raised the gun
Reflection on a mistake made when things were going well.
He made the old mistake a lonely sinner
A person who, despite being a sure winner, becomes isolated.
Sure-fire winner no one saw him for a week
The winner's absence goes unnoticed for a week.
They found his body in the lake
A discovery of the person's lifeless body in a lake.
Life never gives it only lends
Reiteration of life's temporary nature.
You try to keep it there's no chance
The futility of trying to cling to life's experiences.
Life never gives it only lends
Life's nature as a lender, not a giver, is emphasized again.
Learn to enjoy and let go when it ends
Encouragement to enjoy life and let go when it comes to an end.
It's been a long and bloody way
Reflection on a challenging and tumultuous journey.
The face it the mirror changed a lot
Significant changes in one's self-perception reflected in the mirror.
But when you see the stars aligned
Recognition of positive alignment in life, but not fully appreciating it.
You don't see what you've got
Failure to recognize the value of what one possesses.
Mmm, sometimes I feel like a lucky man
Feeling fortunate despite challenges.
I must be 'cause I'm here and I am aware
Awareness of being present in the moment.
There is one thing
Reference to a clear realization about something significant.
Which has never been so clear mmm ahh
A profound realization that has become evident.
Life never gives it only lends
Life is temporary, providing experiences for a limited time.
You try to keep it there's no chance
The futility of trying to hold on to life's fleeting moments.
Life never gives it only lends
Life's repetitive nature of lending rather than giving.
Learn to enjoy and let go when it ends
Encouragement to savor and release life's experiences as they conclude.
