Frontier Forever
Frontier Echoes: Navigating Life's Canyons in Scivic Rivers' Melody
Lyrics
OK I've got the basics down now
Expressing understanding of the fundamentals.
Another hard-won view rings true
Acknowledging a hard-earned perspective that is authentic.
And the ring's outlasted
Highlighting the enduring nature of a symbolic ring.
And slowly I'm turning to
Undergoing a gradual transformation towards alternative paths.
Alternative routes
Exploring different ways to return.
The ways I take to get back
The routes taken when overdue.
When I am overdue
Reflection on delays and overdue moments.
When I light
Lighting up for an elevated rural experience.
Out for the high countryside
Heading towards the high countryside.
To be reminded how life
Seeking a reminder of life's essence.
Should really let a moment die
Advocating for letting moments naturally fade away.
I find the rhythm of water and sandstone
Discovering the rhythmic patterns of water and sandstone.
Carving canyons that show
Canyons formed by natural processes.
A river never stops keeping time
Emphasizing the perpetual flow of a river as a timekeeper.
Deep time
Contemplating time on a profound level.
Frontier terrain forever
Perceiving endless frontier terrain.
Is all I see the whole way back
Seeing only frontier landscape throughout the return journey.
Wide open country that sells
Open spaces that represent a lifestyle of freedom.
Living free
Contemplating control without hidden agendas.
How this could be control
Questioning the possibility of control without conspiracy.
Without conspiracy
Describing a beautiful view from a land most don't appreciate.
Is a view from this beautiful land
A perspective that goes unnoticed or unacknowledged.
No one wants to see
The undesirable truth hidden within the beautiful land.
When I light
Similar to line 9, but heading towards a bright city night.
Out for the bright city night
Seeking a reminder in the vibrancy of city life.
To be reminded how life
Reiterating the idea of letting moments fade.
Should really let a moment die
Questioning the limited time left in life.
I wonder how many years have I got left
Reflecting on the finite nature of existence.
Driving back to the same old fear
Returning to familiar fears over time.
How do we assume the new
Pondering the clarity brought by the new.
Will make anything else clear
Doubting whether the new brings understanding.
When I light
Similar to lines 27 and 28 but with a communal perspective.
Out for the bright city night
Emphasizing the collective struggle to let moments go.
To be reminded our kind
Highlighting the difficulty for humanity to embrace change.
Can never let a moment die
Reiterating the challenge of allowing moments to fade away.
Find the rhythm of water
Rediscovering the rhythmic patterns of water and sandstone.
And sandstone
Recreating canyons as a metaphor for perpetual time.
Carving canyons that show
Similar to lines 13 and 14, but emphasizing continuity.
A river never stops keeping time
Reaffirming the timeless nature of rivers as timekeepers.
Keeping the frontier line
Underlining the enduring quality of the frontier line.
