Lyrics

My ghost is everywhere here
Expression of a pervasive sense of the speaker's presence, even in the afterlife.
It hangs on every tree
Imagery of the ghost lingering on trees, suggesting a spiritual connection to nature.
Lingering with every flower and leaf,
Continuation of the spiritual connection, now with flowers and leaves.
Smell of scent and sight and sound
Reference to sensory experiences as remnants of another time, possibly memories.
These are calling cards from another time
Sense of nostalgia and recognition in the familiar days and forgotten phases.
Familiar days and forgotten phases,
Water as a metaphor for time flowing, with memories trickling down.
Like water trickle down down down
Emphasis on the vastness of time, likening it to an ocean, with the speaker ready to navigate it.
Time is an ocean, and I'm set to swim
Acknowledgment of the unstoppable flow of time, with the speaker being carried by it.
And I'm tumbled by her.
Metaphorical tumbling by time's currents, suggesting life's unpredictable nature.
Circle around the sun, turn turn turn
A cyclical reference to the journey around the sun, symbolizing the passage of time.
Someday my turn will come
Anticipation of the speaker's own turn in the cyclical nature of life.
Stretched by time and torn by fate
Reflection on the challenges and wear and tear experienced throughout one's lifetime.
I'm held together by the flesh of faith
The sustaining force of faith in holding the speaker together amidst life's challenges.
Pushing up I hope for the sun,
Ambition and optimism in hoping for positive outcomes despite hardships.
But I'll take the rain with what all it comes
Acceptance of both positive and negative experiences that come with life.
I walk and my feet roll, arms sway side to side, to and fro
Description of the physical movement, emphasizing the fluidity and unpredictability of life.
Who am I to try to guide my life?
Questioning the speaker's authority to control or guide their own life.
Like the tribes that came before us, and all the kings and queens
Connection to ancestral roots, acknowledging the influence of past civilizations.
And our ancestors, through the centuries...
Recognition of the enduring impact of ancestors over the centuries.
Through the birth of a child, I return the gift that was given me
A symbolic act of giving back to the universe, possibly through the birth of a child.
The wind on the skin, and the pull of gravity.
Sensory experiences of wind and gravity as reminders of the physicality of existence.
Circle around the sun, turn turn turn
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of life, emphasizing its inevitability.
One day my turn will come
Reiteration of the anticipation of the speaker's own turn in the cyclical journey.
I'm living every minute and dying every day
A philosophical reflection on the continuous balance between living and dying.
I hope my heart is in the right place
The speaker's desire for a morally sound existence, with the heart symbolizing morality.
