Untie the Knot
Unraveling the Echoes: Robbie Brown's Poetic Reflection on Lost Glory
Lyrics
Within the old palace gate, how still the grounds are today
Reflecting on the current tranquility within the old palace gate
Trees growing from the remains
Observing trees growing from what remains
How many died where they stood, limbs petrified like the wood
Contemplating the deaths that occurred, leaving limbs petrified like wood
That lies in heaps underfoot
Noting the piles of wood lying underfoot
And all the things they held dear, each little lie, every fear
Realizing that cherished things, lies, and fears have lost significance over time
It's all meant nothing for years
Recognizing that these things have held no value for years
A marble horse on the lawnm no matching chariot to draw
Describing a marble horse without its matching chariot, symbolizing lost glory
A symbol of glory gone
Symbolizing the absence of past grandeur
A lifetime seldom reaches a hundred
Life rarely extends to a hundred years
Though it gives you a thousand years' sorrow
Despite a shorter life, it brings a thousand years' worth of sorrow
But it holds beauties I could not number
Acknowledging numerous uncountable beauties in life
Don't ever let them go
Encouraging not to let go of these beauties
These stones were once cities streets, so uniform and discrete
Former stones were once streets of cities, structured and orderly
It's like they willed it to be
Implying a deliberate arrangement or intention behind their structure
And just how long has it been since incense passed on the wind
Wondering about the passage of time since incense was last smelled
From merchants on the north end
Remembering the days when merchants sold goods on the north end
Feels like forever ago since there were more than just ghosts
Feeling like it's been an eternity since the place felt alive, not just haunted by memories
Around the place I called home
Mourning the loss of a once-thriving home
I wish there was a road back, to see old faces amassed
Expressing a desire for a way back to reunite with old faces and memories
For miles and years in the past
Longing for the past that spanned miles and years
Sometimes there's nothing you can come home to
At times, finding nothing to return to
And the way back is barricaded
Encountering obstacles on the path back home
But even still I would never undo
Despite the barriers, not regretting the navigation through past glorious days
The glory days I navigated
Valuing the experiences and successes of the past
I'll never stop missing that time
Constantly missing the simplicity and better times of the past
It was simpler and things were alright
Recalling a time when things were easier and more satisfactory
I have a new chance to go on
Realizing the opportunity to move forward
And I can write my own denouement
Having the chance to write one's own ending
I want to untie the knot
Expressing a desire to unravel complexities and problems
I'll give it all that I got
Determined to put maximum effort into untangling those issues
I want to untie the knot
Reiterating the wish to untie or solve the knot
I want to untie the knot
Reaffirming the determination to resolve the problem
I'll give it all that I got
Committed to giving one's all to resolve the situation
I want to untie the knot
Repeating the desire to untie or resolve the knot
