Passenger
Journey of Finite Existence: Once Human's Passenger
Lyrics
We stand upon the hands of borrowed time
We exist within the constraints of limited time borrowed from an uncertain source.
All we are must be returned
Everything that constitutes our being will eventually be returned or lost.
We parallel the elements from the sky
We mirror the elements from the sky, possibly emphasizing our connection to the universe.
With a limit to the light we burn
Our ability to shine or make an impact is restricted by the finite nature of the light we possess.
We're monoliths with everything to lose
We are substantial and significant entities with much at stake.
A dusty abyss, obscure and diffuse
A vast emptiness, unclear and scattered, surrounds us.
Particle, this is not your helm
Attention to a particle, possibly an individual, indicating a shift in perspective.
Let go of control and flow as a cell
Encouragement to relinquish control and move freely like a cell, suggesting adaptability.
A journey by the will of the sun
A journey directed by the sun's will, highlighting our collective existence.
We are many yet we are none
We are numerous, yet fundamentally not distinct individuals.
We've only just begun, we fade
A reference to the early stage of existence, fading as time progresses.
Passenger, you have overstayed your welcome
Addressing someone as a passenger, implying they have overstayed their welcome in a metaphorical sense.
Your help comes
An indication that help is on the way.
They come with suns and spears of light
Assistance arriving with powerful and illuminating forces.
That disappear with you
These forces disappear along with the individual seeking help.
You say you'll change
A declaration of intent to change, though with a possible misunderstanding.
You misunderstand
Highlighting a misunderstanding in the desire to alter or improve.
You think you have time to kill
An awareness that time, a powerful force, cannot be wasted.
But time is a greater hitman
Time is portrayed as a formidable force, possibly even a metaphorical hitman.
A supernova in our eyes
A metaphorical explosion of brilliance within our perception.
A sole reminder, we are finite
A reminder that we are finite, and our existence is temporary.
A supernova in our eyes
A repeated metaphorical explosion emphasizing our finite nature.
Our soul reminder, we are finite
Reiterating that our essence is limited and temporary.
You and me
Highlighting a connection between two entities, possibly individuals.
We are the passengers
Identifying both individuals as passengers, transient beings.
Just passing through
Emphasizing the temporary nature of existence, suggesting we are just passing through.
You are not acting alone
Suggesting that actions have consequences beyond individual responsibility.
Collide if you don't let go
A warning that collision or conflict is inevitable without letting go.
