Lyrics

Can't know what's high

Uncertainty about what is truly valuable or meaningful.

'Til you been down so low

Understanding the highs in life requires experiencing the lows.

The future's bright

An optimistic view of the future, full of potential.

Lit up with no where to go

A contradictory situation where the path forward seems bright but has no clear direction.


To and fro the pendulum throws

Symbolic of life's constant swings between opposing forces or situations.


We are here and then we go

Life's transience – being present in a moment and then moving on.

My shadow left me long ago

A sense of loss or abandonment, feeling detached from one's own shadow.


Understand what we don't know

Emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and accepting our ignorance.

This might pass

Recognition that difficult times may pass and not be permanent.

This might last

Contemplating the temporary nature of situations, whether positive or negative.

This may grow

Suggesting the potential for growth or improvement in challenging circumstances.

Easy come and easy go

Highlighting the fleeting nature of things – gains and losses.

Easy left me a long time ago

Reflecting on the departure of something valuable, indicating a sense of loss.


I'm in the fire but I'm still cold

Feeling the heat of a challenging situation but maintaining emotional distance.

Nothing works, works for me anymore

Expressing a sense of frustration or disillusionment with the effectiveness of familiar solutions.


To and fro the pendulum throws

Reiterating the theme of life's swings between opposing states.

To and fro the pendulum throws

Emphasizing the repetitive nature of life's ups and downs.


(To and fro the pendulum throws)

Repetition for emphasis, underscoring the rhythmic and cyclical nature of life's challenges.

(To and fro the pendulum throws)
