Monastery
Echoes of Unintended Sanctity
Lyrics
Forgone, begun
Acceptance of something that has been abandoned or given up; a new beginning
Before all of my days are done
Before my entire lifetime concludes
Hold fire, plead choir
Restraint or control of emotions, a request for a group to appeal or ask earnestly
Before all of the haze was sunned
Before all the confusion or uncertainty is clarified or resolved
I didn’t mean to be so monastery
Unintentionally withdrawn or reserved like someone living in seclusion, detached from worldly matters
I’ve been keening like a missionary
Feeling a strong longing or yearning like a person on a religious mission
When every wild grown cherry
When every naturally growing cherry tree
Could wind its way to true
Could naturally find its way to its true destination or purpose
I’ll write them, too
Writing down experiences or emotions
I’ll carry it through
Determined to persist or continue with something
Hard line, inclined
Firm or inflexible stance, with a tendency or preference
Below the balconies left to climb
Underneath the elevated platforms yet to be climbed
Charred pine, enshrine
Burnt pine trees as a symbol of preserving memories
All of the memories left are mine
All the remaining memories belong solely to oneself
(all mine, all mine, all mine)
Reinforcing the ownership or possession of the memories
I didn’t mean to be so ordinary
Not intending to be typical or average
I’ve been weaning off the cometary
Gradually moving away from celestial or grandiose aspects
When every February
When every February or period of time could lose its belief or trust
Could find its faith withdrew
Writing for someone specifically
I write for you
Determined to persist or continue with the writing
I’ll carry it through
Unintentionally acting with self-interest or focusing on profit
I didn’t mean to be so mercenary
Feeling like bleeding or suffering for a safe and sacred place
I’ve been bleeding for a sanctuary
When every small stream or flow of things only directs back to someone
When every tributary
Planning to rewrite or recreate something
Just bends me back to you
Determined to persist or continue with recreating
I’ll write it new
-I’ll carry it through
-I’ll carry it through
Continuing the determination to persist or carry through
