Eternal Reflections: Embracing Change and Letting Go
Lyrics
Illusions of light that run through my veins
Reference to fleeting and deceptive experiences that flow within the speaker's essence.
Open doors that still remain
Opportunities that persist but have not been taken, symbolizing unexplored possibilities.
And here I am still knocking
The speaker is persistently attempting to access or achieve something.
And here I am still breathing for now
Despite challenges, the speaker is alive and present in the moment.
Yesterday ain't coming back
Recognition that the past cannot be revisited or altered.
Living on, you can't change things anyway
Acceptance of the unchangeable nature of certain circumstances.
And it burns, just to make you see
Intense emotions or struggles with the purpose of conveying a message.
Tomorrow waits for no one, no one at all
Emphasis on the urgency of time, suggesting the inevitability of the future.
Conflict inside, past visions denied
Inner turmoil resulting from rejecting or suppressing past visions.
Broken mirrors they still tell me lies
Distorted reflections in broken mirrors symbolize misleading self-perceptions.
Dead rivers of memories
Describing memories as lifeless and unchanging, possibly filled with regrets.
Will these winters bring you to your knees
Wondering if hardships will lead to a humbling or transformative experience.
Regrets of home, you've written on your stone
Expressing remorse attached to a place of comfort, engraved in stone.
Now you know its tim to let go
Realization that it's time to release the burden of regrets and move forward.
And here I am still knocking
Continued efforts to access or achieve something despite challenges.
And here I am still breathing for now
Reiteration of being alive and present in the current moment.
Yesterday ain't coming back
Reaffirmation that the past cannot be altered or undone.
Living on, you can't change things anyway
Acceptance of the unchangeable nature of certain circumstances (repeated theme).
And it burns, just to make you see
Intense emotions or struggles persist to convey a message (repeated theme).
Tomorrow waits for no one, no one at all
Emphasis on the inevitability of the future, urging action in the present.
