Seeing Stars
Lonely Constellations: Silver Reeds' Moving Journey Among Stars
Lyrics
I miss you like a target
I long for you intensely, like aiming at a target.
Moving by too fast
Life is moving swiftly, and things are happening too quickly.
I am in the present
I exist in the current moment.
And you are shooting past me
You are surpassing me, speeding past like a projectile.
Like a star into the tapestry of night
You are becoming part of the vast night sky, joining other celestial bodies.
To join the other points of light
To shine brightly among others, a guiding light for the rest of us.
To be a beacon among beacons for the rest of us to see
Despite this, I feel isolated while observing the stars.
But I am lonely seeing stars
I am still making an effort to perceive and understand.
I still do my best to try and see
Attempting to decipher any meaningful signals or signs.
Any messages in blinking lights to me
Signals conveyed through blinking lights that might be directed at me.
Messages that might be meant for me
Possibly messages intended specifically for me.
Well, I was never ready to go
I was unprepared to depart.
Now I'm putting on my boots and I'm putting on my coat
Now, I'm getting ready, putting on my boots and coat.
And now I go out in the snow
Heading out into the cold and snowy outdoors.
With the music in the background telling me that I've found
Background music suggests I've found nothing substantial to hold onto.
Nothing I can hold to, nothing I can hold to, no
A sense of emptiness, nothing tangible to grasp.
And I'm walking from the train wreck, walking away, here I go
Walking away from a disastrous situation, moving on.
I think that I am lonely
Despite the celestial beauty, I feel a sense of loneliness.
But it's getting hard to tell
It's becoming challenging to distinguish feelings of loneliness.
Now you're in the present
Now, you are in the present moment.
And I am speeding past you
I'm speeding past you, creating distance.
On a bicycle that I learned how to ride
On a metaphorical bicycle, skillfully navigating life.
From the instructions in my mind
Learned from mental instructions, making the experience beautiful.
That made it beautiful to feel more
A commitment to feeling more deeply.
I can't afford to hate
I cannot afford to harbor hatred or negativity.
But I'm still lonely seeing stars
Despite this, I am still lonely, observing the stars.
Nothing I can find will help me see
Unable to find anything to help me perceive.
Any messages that might be meant for me
Messages remain elusive, difficult to interpret.
Splintered into shards that I can't read
Messages are fragmented, like shards, unreadable.
(That I can't read)
(Repeated) Messages are fragmented, like shards, unreadable.
Well, I was never ready to go
I was not mentally prepared for departure.
Now I'm putting on my boots and I'm putting on my coat
Now, I'm gearing up, putting on boots and coat.
And now I go out in the snow
Heading out into the snow.
With the music in the background telling me that I've found
Background music reinforces the lack of something substantial to hold onto.
Nothing I can hold to, nothing I can hold to, no
A recurring theme of emptiness, nothing tangible to grasp.
And I'm walking from the train wreck, walking away, here I go
Continuing to walk away from a disastrous situation.
Well I was never ready to go
(Repeated) I was not mentally prepared for departure.
(Now I'm putting on my boots and I'm putting on my coat)
(Repeated) Now, I'm gearing up, putting on boots and coat.
I was never ready to go
(Repeated) I was not mentally prepared for departure.
(Now I'm putting on my boots and I'm putting on my coat)
(Repeated) Now, I'm gearing up, putting on boots and coat.
I was never ready to go
(Repeated) I was not mentally prepared for departure.
(Now I'm putting on my boots and I'm putting on my coat)
(Repeated) Now, I'm gearing up, putting on boots and coat.
I was never ready to go
(Repeated) I was not mentally prepared for departure.
