Eternal Struggle: Navigating Life's Changes
Lyrics
Once we played hiding (and seeking) games
Reflecting on past experiences of playing hiding and seeking games.
Ran away (and) opened our eyes
Recalling moments of running away and gaining new perspectives.
(Prayed to) fathers, suns, holy ghosts, dreams of life beyond our sights
Referencing prayers to various entities like fathers, suns, holy ghosts, and dreams of a life beyond immediate understanding.
But can we keep our souls innocent
Pondering the ability to maintain innocence in our souls.
Not left behind?
Questioning whether innocence can be preserved and not abandoned.
(If not) we'll fade away
Expressing the potential fading away if innocence is not retained.
(Disappear and all we see will be) erased by time watch it go by
Highlighting the inevitability of things being erased by time as it passes.
Watch it go by feel every grain of sand and I'll watch it all fly
Observing the passage of time and the fleeting nature of moments.
Under my toes
Referring to the changing nature of surroundings beneath one's feet.
Slip away slip away
Emphasizing the gradual slipping away of experiences.
And I feel every moment I'm losing
Expressing a sense of loss and the awareness of moments slipping away.
With the tide watch as we die
Connecting the feeling of loss with the ebb and flow of the tide.
Can we see it changing everything?
Pondering the perception of change in everything.
The lights dim with fading dreams disappear with pieces of non-plastic playgrounds
Describing the dimming of lights with fading dreams and disappearing elements of a non-plastic playground.
Carried upon our sleeves and I swear everything that I've learned will probably just hurt me now
Expressing the potential pain in learning and the uncertainties of life.
But everyone swears it will all be all right "as you grow and give away yourself you will be happier"
Contrasting assurances of happiness with the potential pain of self-discovery.
But everyone forgets who they all used to be
Highlighting the tendency to forget one's past and former self.
Lights dim with dreams carried upon our sleeves and I don't ever want to lose the smile on my face
Reiterating the dimming lights and dreams carried on sleeves, emphasizing the desire to maintain a positive outlook.
But everyone is fighting to keep their eyes down
Observing the struggle of individuals to avoid facing reality.
But I want to stare straight at the sun even if it kills me
Expressing a personal desire to confront challenges, even if it comes with risks.
But everyone is too scared to die
Pointing out the common fear of death that inhibits individuals from taking risks.
