Right Now
Embracing the Present: Love, Distance, and Yearning in Stephan Eicher's "Right Now
Lyrics
Right now, it's good to wake up
Expressing the positive feeling of waking up in the current moment.
I don't want this fear sneaking through my center
Desiring to avoid the intrusion of fear into one's inner self at this moment.
Right now, love is screaming from every corner
Noting that love is evident and intense from various directions in the present.
Stars know no words but try to explain
Highlighting the ineffable nature of stars while attempting to convey a message.
Maybe it's my whole heart which is calling for you
Suggesting that the speaker's entire heart is yearning for someone.
Right now, the distance which tears everything to pieces
Acknowledging a current emotional distance that is causing disruption.
Right now, pains remain, being better than wounds
Recognizing that present pains, although persistent, are preferable to past wounds.
This touch, will it go by ?
Raising a question about the transient nature of a particular touch.
Let's do it quickly until time will know the truth
Suggesting a desire to act swiftly before the truth becomes evident with time.
When do we go too far ? Explications is waiting somewhere
Pondering the limits of how far one can go and anticipating explanations in the future.
The net of the night conquers us all
Metaphorically portraying the night as a force that overcomes everyone.
The world stands still but the light keeps on wandering right now
Noting a paradox where the world seems still, yet light continues to move at this moment.
Is this the impossible ? What if we touch ?
Questioning the feasibility of something considered impossible, specifically in the context of touch.
Will it break ? Will we fall through ?
Expressing uncertainty about the potential consequences of touching, fearing a break or a fall.
Deep into this dream, we have to drown
Stressing the immersion into a dream, suggesting a need to fully embrace it.
The world stands still but the light keeps on wandering right now.
Reiterating the contrast between the apparent stillness of the world and the continuous wandering of light.
