Sands of Time
Eternal Echoes: Navigating Life's Sands of Time with QUEEN KONA
Lyrics
Look how far I've grown
Reflecting on personal growth and development
Successor to the throne
Acknowledging a position of succession or leadership
I've gathered through the falls
Experiencing challenges and setbacks
And prospered through it all
Thriving and succeeding despite difficulties
The inversion of the hourglass sets in
Symbolizing the passage of time with an hourglass
Like a luscious flower picked
Comparing life to a beautiful flower being picked
Picked at the stem
Highlighting the fragility of life and its inevitable decay
Destined to decay just as life begins
Emphasizing the transient nature of existence
Eyes open wide
Awareness and openness to the world
Inhaling sweet Mother Earth
Connecting with nature and the earth
Look how far I've grown
Reiterating personal growth and development
Successor to the throne
Reaffirming a position of succession or leadership
I've gathered through the falls
Reflection on overcoming challenges and obstacles
And prospered through it all
Celebrating success and prosperity
And I'll bring with me
Carrying cherished memories into the future
These memories
Preserving and valuing shared experiences
Passed through our legacy
Continuation of a legacy through passed-down memories
Our legacy
Emphasizing the importance of one's legacy
Mama, Mama
Addressing or seeking guidance from a maternal figure
I'm not coming home
Expressing a sense of independence and not returning home
Mama, Mama
Reaffirming personal progress and distance from home
See how far I've come
Continuing the theme of not returning home
Mama, Mama
Reiterating personal growth and development
I'm not coming home
Emphasizing the decision not to return home
So I'll sow the earth
Expressing a commitment to ensure the continuity of family
Let my kin live on
Desiring the preservation of family lineage
Yet I, once so alive
Reflecting on past vitality and enjoyment of life
Enjoyed the fruit of Gaea's sweet surprise
Enjoying the rewards of life's surprises
So bountiful are her pleasantries
Appreciating the abundant pleasures of life
Although I've bargained all my hours into labor
Investing time and effort into work and responsibilities
As my zeal declines
Feeling a decline in enthusiasm or passion
So render me a passerby
Accepting a more passive role in life
Once titanic
Transitioning from a powerful state to a smaller one
Now a mite
Symbolizing a significant reduction in stature
The sands of time still trickle all the same
Recognizing the continuous flow of time
So I'll raise you up with what's left of my name
Determined to leave a lasting impact with a diminished existence
My numbered days hold my love for you
Expressing love and commitment in remaining days
I'll open my doors for you
Being open and welcoming to others
And when the last grain falls
Contemplating the impact on others when life nears its end
How have I touched you all?
Reflecting on the influence and connections made in life
The only things we leave
Highlighting the lasting impact of helping others breathe
Are those we help to breathe
Reiterating the significance of leaving a positive impact
And when the last grain falls
Reflecting on the influence and connections made in life
How have I touched you all?
Contemplating the impact on others when life nears its end
The only things we leave
Reiterating the lasting impact of helping others breathe
Are those we help to breathe
Emphasizing the significance of positively influencing others
