Gathering Leaves
Harmony of Life: Exploring Freedom, Time, and the Art of Existence in 'Gathering Leaves'
Lyrics
Words on the tip of finger
Words poised to be expressed.
Spread across medium-sliced lines
Expressions divided into clear segments.
Sentences hover and linger
Ideas and phrases linger in the air.
Freed from the reason that binds
Released from limitations or constraints.
Gathering leaves, scattering seeds
Collecting experiences and sharing them widely, hoping for discovery.
Hoping that you will find
Anticipating that the listener will discover something valuable.
The flowers that punctuate freedom
The beauty and interruptions in freedom.
The seconds that syncopate time
Moments that disrupt and add rhythm to time.
To the scream
The distressing sound of life in jeopardy.
Of a life-support failing
Amidst the chaos, a consistent heartbeat.
Comes the beat
A rhythmic sound resembling a heartbeat.
Of a hand on a heart
A piercing, mournful cry accompanying death.
And the piercing
The abrupt end of the distressing cry.
Shrill of death wailing
A surprising end to the wailing.
Comes to a halt with a start
Unexpectedly ceasing a distressing event.
There on the screen
Observing events displayed.
Who'd have believed
Unexpected resemblance of life to artistic creations.
Life could imitate art
Life mirroring art in an unexpected manner.
But I swear it's your
Confirmation that a specific action or situation belongs to someone.
Handwriting in red neon
A particular style of writing in a bright, attention-grabbing color.
There on the life-support chart
Displayed on a monitor indicating vital signs.
The blinds that are closed
Keeping out the light of the morning.
Against morning
Preventing the morning light from entering.
Glow like the lines on a page
Similar to lines written on a page, causing delay.
Postponing eventual dawning
Delaying the expected arrival of the sun in a turbulent state.
Of the sun in a violent rage
The sun’s rising portrayed in a tumultuous manner.
Touching the blind
Interacting with something obstructing the light.
Disturbing lines
Causing disturbance to the obstructing elements.
Hoping that you will find
Hoping for discovery amidst disruptions.
The flowers that punctuate freedom
Noticing beauty and interruptions in freedom.
The seconds that syncopate time
Moments creating a rhythm within time.
