So Say We All
Echoes of Digital Convergence: Tomorrow's Parade
Lyrics
Out of the gates of our Hameln town
Refers to leaving the town of Hameln.
Ye children of tomorrow shall parade
Future generations will march or progress.
Under sinister skies, heavens dark with disdain
Describes a foreboding sky filled with disapproval.
Under digital convergence, augmented intelligence
Highlights the era of digital convergence and advanced intelligence.
But mercy sleeps, cobblestones erode
Suggests a lack of mercy as time passes, and infrastructure deteriorates.
And all clear fires vanish into smoke
Clear goals and ideals disappear.
Anaesthesia remains, paralysis by choice
Anesthesia symbolizes a numbness or lack of feeling, paralysis due to choices made.
Endless hibernation for beggars and for kings
Rich or poor, everyone experiences an eternal sleep or stagnation.
And it feels like
Introduction to an emotional experience or realization.
That all in all
Overall, considering everything.
Like words written on the sand
Comparing life to words written on the sand, easily erased or forgotten.
We shall go
Anticipation of moving forward or progressing.
It's all in all
Reiteration of life being transient and easily forgotten.
Like words written on the sand
Life's impermanence is acknowledged collectively.
So say we all
A collective agreement or affirmation of the transience of life.
Where water smoothest run, deep are the fjords
Describes the depth of challenges using fjords as a metaphor.
And seas have their source, so have shallow springs
Even shallow springs have a source, emphasizing origins.
The dial stirs yet none perceives it to move
Refers to changes or developments that go unnoticed.
Endpoint identifiers like a stormy bank of clouds
Compares significant events to a stormy bank of clouds.
With windy sighs, disperse them in the skies
Metaphorically dispersing problems or challenges.
Or with thy tears dissolve them into rain
Suggests the emotional resolution of difficulties.
Disable failsafe, make the hammer strike
Encourages taking risks and abandoning safety measures.
Cos love is love, in beggars and in kings
Love transcends social status.
And it feels like
Repetition of the emotional experience or realization.
That all in all
Reiteration of considering everything collectively.
Like words written on the sand
Life's transient nature, akin to words written on sand.
We shall go
Continuation of the theme of progress or movement.
It's all in all
Emphasizes the collective acknowledgment of life's impermanence.
Like words written on the sand
Life's impermanence acknowledged collectively once again.
So say we all
A collective affirmation of the transience of life.
