Anniversary Song
Yearning for Transcendence: Embracing the Extraordinary
Lyrics
I look to the future
I anticipate the future
Everything will be so easy
Expecting everything to be effortless
I say the end is near
Expressing a belief in an impending end
But no one will believe me
Frustration that others don't believe the prediction
I was born with greater purpose
Feeling born with a significant purpose
It’s always been a burden
Perceiving this purpose as a lifelong burden
The earth has done us
Believing that the Earth has been harmful
Disservice
Describing the Earth's actions as a disservice
If only you’d hear my sermon
Expressing a desire for others to listen to a sermon
Beam me up I’m so ready
Desiring to be taken away, seeking something extraordinary
For something extraordinary
Expressing readiness for an extraordinary experience
Beam me up, I can’t wait
Reiterating the desire to be taken away
I swear that I am not afraid
Claiming bravery and lack of fear
Do you understand
Questioning understanding of existence
Your existence has no meaning
Stating that human existence is meaningless
Nothing you do matters
Asserting the insignificance of human actions
Because human life is fleeting
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of human life
I feel bad for the lessers
Expressing empathy for those considered "lessers"
But maybe it’s for the better
Suggesting that challenges may lead to positive outcomes
They’re not ready for whatever
Believing others are unprepared for challenges
Necessary safety measures
Advocating for necessary safety measures
Beam me up I’m so ready
Reiteration of the desire to be taken away
For something extraordinary
Expressing readiness for an extraordinary experience
Beam me up, I can’t wait
Reiterating the desire to be taken away
I swear that I am not afraid
Claiming bravery and lack of fear
Please take me far away
Pleading to be taken far away
I don’t think that I can stay here
Expressing difficulty in remaining in the current situation
Open up your heaven’s gate
Metaphorically requesting access to a heavenly realm
I think I’m finally ready to be awake
Feeling ready to be awakened or enlightened
Beam me up I’m so ready
Reiteration of the desire to be taken away
For something extraordinary
Expressing readiness for an extraordinary experience
Beam me up, I can’t wait
Reiterating the desire to be taken away
I swear that I am not afraid
Claiming bravery and lack of fear
