Transient
Flight of Shadows: A Journey Beyond Earthly Bounds
Lyrics
We all live outside the world
We exist beyond societal norms or expectations.
You can't understand us
Our experiences are beyond comprehension.
We all flied too much high, for too much time
We have soared to great heights for an extended period.
It's like going towards the sun
Metaphorically, moving towards an intense or blinding pursuit, akin to approaching the sun.
It burns my eyes
The pursuit is intense and causes discomfort or harm.
It's easier to become a pale soul and then expire
Choosing an easier path, becoming emotionally detached, and eventually fading away.
I flew too high for too much time
Reiterating the experience of soaring too high for too long.
Before hitting the ground
Acknowledging the impending downfall after a prolonged high.
Like Icarus I tried to reach the sun
A metaphorical reference to the Greek myth of Icarus, attempting the impossible.
But my wings were fake
Admitting that aspirations were unrealistic or unattainable.
From fears and thoughts which are not mine
Attributes failures to external fears and thoughts, not authentic to the individual.
I take my pride
Retaining a sense of self-worth or dignity despite setbacks.
It's like fighting against yourself
Engaging in a challenging internal struggle.
In a sea of mistake
Metaphorically, navigating through a sea of errors or regrets.
We all live outside the world
Repeating the theme of living beyond conventional boundaries.
You can't understand us
Emphasizing the incomprehensibility of their existence.
Where we are there is no pain
A place of emotional numbness or detachment, where pain is absent.
Close the door and sleep
Encouraging withdrawal from reality and embracing a passive state like sleep.
There is no wealth to gain
No material or emotional gains in this state.
Where we are there is no life
A place devoid of meaningful existence.
Wake up and see
An invitation to wake up and perceive reality.
Stay along my side!
Seeking companionship and support.
Stay by my side and run away with me!
Expressing a desire for a companion to escape together.
Stay by my side and run away with me!
Repeating the plea for shared escapism.
I flew too high
A recapitulation of soaring too high.
Before hitting the ground
Anticipating the inevitable fall before reaching the ground.
Like Icarus I tried to reach the sun
Reiterating the Icarus metaphor.
But my wings were fake
Highlighting the falseness of the means used for the pursuit.
We all live outside the world
Restating the unconventional existence.
You can't understand us
Emphasizing the incomprehensibility once more.
We all flied too much high, for too much time
Recalling the prolonged, intense journey.
I flew too high before hitting the ground
Reflecting on the fall after soaring too high.
Like Icarus I fell and now it burns my eyes
Concluding with the aftermath of the Icarus-like fall.
