Unfortunate
Unfortunate Echoes: Navigating Time's Unyielding Currents
Lyrics
Endless lines cut and wind
Continuous challenges and difficulties shape and twist.
Follow til they meet the sky
Persist until they reach the sky.
Then dissolve and redesign
Then disappear and transform again.
What's left we leave behind
What remains is what we abandon.
Only light knows how to fade
Only light understands how to diminish.
How unfortunate -- time given away
Expressing regret for time wasted.
Every fold tears at the break
Every crease exacerbates the fracture.
Every shell will perforate
Every defense will puncture.
So take a deep breath, my friend
Pause and inhale deeply, urging a companion.
And hold on to what you can
Grasp onto whatever you can.
When there's nothing to see
In moments of emptiness, there's nothing worth rescuing.
There's nothing to save
When there's no apparent value, there's nothing to salvage.
All the takers are so good at looking away
Those who take are adept at avoiding responsibility.
In low light, eyes tired
In dim illumination, eyes weary.
Hellbent to rewire
Determined to reconfigure despite challenges.
Steadfast, on the sly
Firm, in a secretive manner.
Don't you dare put your hands to the fire
Warning against exposing oneself to danger.
Burned out the pages so we'd disappear
Destroyed the evidence to vanish, yet still present.
We're still here
We persist despite adversity.
When it's not the answer that you want to find
When the solution is undesirable, discard and accept the consequences.
Tear it up and swallow every line
Suggesting a drastic response to an unwanted truth.
Hey, can we get real
Questioning the authenticity of an experience.
Were we ever really here
Doubting the reality of our existence.
Did we ever get close
Did we ever truly connect?
We never see it coming
Blind to impending challenges.
Do we just get buried cold
Are we merely buried without notice?
Endless lines
Reiteration of the challenges and twists.
Cut and wind
Continuing to shape and twist.
Make their way through the haze
Navigating through confusion.
Redirect, redesign, rearrange
Redirect, transform, reorganize.
What's left? What's left we leave behind
What remains? What are we leaving behind?
How unfortunate
Expressing regret for unfortunate circumstances.
We're wishing cracks away
Desiring to mend the fractures.
