Ceremony
Ceremony Unveiled: A Poetic Exploration of Life's Rituals
Lyrics
the body has got to be worth saving
The physical body needs to be valued and preserved.
eyelids are shining with headache and perspiration
Eyes are glossy due to pain and sweat.
morning is finding good intentions under sleep's persuasion
In the morning, good intentions are discovered after being influenced by the persuasiveness of sleep.
the body has got to be...
The body has to be...
our past lives were too heavy and too expensive
Previous lives were burdensome and costly.
now we're paying together for our inventions
We are collectively facing the consequences of our creations.
maybe there's a ceremony
There might be a ceremonial ritual.
written down inside the body
Possibly, written within the body itself.
where maybe no one ever sees
That might not be visible to anyone.
you begin like a lion and you end like a lamb
Starting with strength but ending with gentleness.
molars are grinding inspiration down to nothing
Teeth are reducing inspiration to nothing through grinding.
where are the instructions
Asking for guidance or directions.
on how to keep it going?
Questioning how to sustain it.
the body...
The body...
a patient motor in secret is whirring
An unseen, patient force is quietly operating.
binding together what was broken
Bringing together what was fractured.
with the heart's string
Using the heart's connection to mend.
to have without keeping
To possess without the burden of ownership.
to sigh without boredom
To sigh without feeling boredom.
to know without thinking
To comprehend without actively thinking.
and to love without ever knowing
To love without needing full understanding.
maybe there's a ceremony
Possibly referring again to a ceremonial act.
written down inside the body
Possibly inscribed internally within the body.
where maybe no one ever sees
Which might remain unseen by anyone.
