Human
Embracing the Wake: Signe Vange's Poetic Reflection on Human Resilience
Lyrics
everyone in here
Everyone present is aware
knows we're lost
Acknowledges that we are lost
who knows the beauty
Recognizes the beauty
of the oceans we have crossed
Of the oceans metaphorically crossed
to get to where we had to go
To reach our intended destination
to get it
To achieve it
to see it all crumble now
Witnessing everything collapse now
and let it
Allowing it to happen
went so far to go on
We traveled extensively
tonight we can't
Tonight, finding a peaceful resting place is challenging
find a peaceful place to rest
Especially on land
on land
Observing my heart in your possession
I watch my heart in your hand
Realizing
and realize
We have damaged everything
that we broke everything
Except for the sunrise
but sunrise
(Empty line)
didn't we
-human
Addressing humanity
now is the time to dance
Now is the time to dance
away from the highways
Away from the paths
that led us to these days
That led us to these challenging days
human
Emphasizing humanity
look at these wastelands
Observing the desolate landscapes
remember what the dark wants us to forget
Recalling what darkness wants us to forget
that the world we know can reset
That the familiar world can reset
in the wake
In the aftermath
of a sobering sunset
Of a somber sunset
human
Reiterating humanity
now is the time to dance
Now is the time to dance
away from the highways
Away from the paths
that led us to these days
That led us to these challenging days
human
Emphasizing humanity again
look at these wastelands
Observing the desolate landscapes again
remember what the dark wants us to forget
Recalling what darkness wants us to forget again
that the world we know can reset
That the familiar world can reset again
in the wake
In the aftermath again
of a sobering sunset
Of a somber sunset again
