The Endless Sea
Navigating Existential Turmoil: The Endless Sea
Lyrics
There were birds in the trees
Observation of nature with birds in the trees.
There were fishes in the seas
Observation of nature with fishes in the seas.
There were people in the streets
Presence of people in the streets.
Laughing in between
People laughing between moments.
Now all that is left
All that remains now is a solid quietness.
is a solid quietness
The quietness is not pleasant; it's a misery.
Yet not a pleasant peace,
The quietness does not bring a peaceful feeling.
Just a misery
It is a state of misery.
There's something inside of me,
An internal struggle or discomfort is felt.
crawling. Yet, just a void from
A void is present, possibly from an alien influence.
foreign species afar, planted
Suggestion of an external influence in the mind.
In my head, and in my veins
The external influence is also in the veins.
And as we try to carry on
Struggling to continue while sanity fades.
The Sanity seems all gone,
The sense of rationality or reason is diminishing.
We know what's right to do,
Awareness of what is right, but unable to act on it.
But it is not for me nor you.
The right course of action is not applicable to the speaker.
Can we awaken from this slumber
A call to awaken from a passive state.
We drift away on the Endless sea,
Metaphorical drifting away on an endless sea.
No way to fend off what is to come,
Unable to prevent what is approaching.
waited too long. All will be gone,
Procrastination leading to irreversible consequences.
Distant voices, gruesome choices,
Distant voices and difficult choices influencing.
Embodies me, encouraging me
These influences become part of the speaker.
To set sails and look beyond and foresee
Encouragement to explore beyond the current situation.
Can we awaken from this slumber
Reiteration of the call to awaken.
We drift away on the endless sea,
Continued metaphorical drifting on the endless sea.
No way to fend off what is to come,
Inability to prevent impending events.
Waited too long.
Acknowledgment of waiting too long.
All will be gone.
The consequence is inevitable; everything will be gone.
Can we awaken from this slumber
Repeated call to awaken from a passive state.
We drift away on the endless sea,
Continued metaphorical drifting on the endless sea.
No way to fend off what is to come,
Continued inability to prevent impending events.
Waited too long.
Reiteration of acknowledging waiting too long.
All will be gone.
Final acknowledgment of the inevitable loss of everything.
