Jab
Eternal Echoes: Time's Dance in Sheer Cerebral Power's 'Jab'
Lyrics
Time is lost, running out
Time is passing quickly, and it is being wasted.
Out of time, all is lost
There is no time left, and everything is lost.
People die, souls are born
People die, but new souls are born, indicating a cycle of life and death.
All are hurt, all are healed
Everyone experiences pain, but everyone also goes through a healing process.
Nothing changes at all
Despite the passage of time, there is no significant change.
Nothing real goes away
Real and meaningful things persist and do not disappear.
It’s all the same, day after day
Life repeats itself, and each day is similar to the one before.
Day after day
This repetition continues day after day.
Time stands still. Stand still
Time seems to stop, urging individuals to remain stationary.
Time stands still. Stand still
Reiteration of the idea that time stands still, emphasizing the need to stand still.
Nothing changes at all
Despite the passing of time, nothing significant changes.
Nothing real goes away
Things that are genuine and essential persist and don't fade away.
So play. – Day after day – day after day
Encouragement to engage in life's activities, even though the routine seems repetitive.
We are free to decide
We have the freedom to make choices and decisions.
When we sleep, when we fight
Choices are made in various life situations, such as sleep and conflict.
When we truth, when we lie
We decide when to speak the truth or tell lies.
When we appear, when we hide
We choose when to be visible or conceal ourselves.
Nothing changes at all
Despite choices, there is a sense of stagnation and lack of change.
Nothing real goes away
Important and genuine aspects of life endure and don't vanish.
It’s all the same
Reiteration that life remains the same despite the passage of time.
Time stands still
Emphasis on the notion that time stands still, possibly indicating a desire for stability.
No colored pill
A reference to the "colored pill" concept, suggesting a lack of transformative solutions.
Every word rhymes
Noteworthy that every word rhymes, perhaps highlighting the poetic nature of life.
When there is no time
In the absence of time, the significance of words and actions is magnified.
I will not be left behind
Expressing a determination not to be left behind in the passage of time.
