Point of View
Eternal Perspectives: Steven Parnelle's Melody of Life
Lyrics
Up and early warm alarm
Waking up early to the warmth of an alarm.
The wind blows fast the world is yawning
The world is waking up quickly, influenced by the fast-blowing wind.
Seems its been a while since
Expressing a sense of time passing since a reflective moment.
I've sat across the wide expanse
Reflecting on sitting across a vast landscape.
Of land that could surround me
Being surrounded by land, contemplating the environment.
Safe and sound I'd quietly lie down
Feeling safe and ready to rest.
And lay my weary head against the pillow on her bed
Recalling lying down on a bed, placing the head on a pillow.
He just knows that the time will pass as
A contemplation of time passing, even if it seems fleeting.
If its never meant to last but
Suggesting that time may not always last, but challenging this notion.
That's not true
Contradicting the idea that some things are not meant to last.
It lives inside of you
Asserting that enduring elements live within oneself.
He just knows that the time will pass as
Repeating the contemplation of time's passage.
If its never meant to last but
Reiterating the idea that time may not be destined to last.
That's not true
Challenging the belief that certain things are not meant to endure.
It lives inside of you
Emphasizing that enduring elements reside within oneself.
It's just your point of view
Stating that it's a matter of one's perspective.
The field of green is feeling calm
Describing a calm feeling in a green field.
A drip of sweat goes down your arm
Highlighting a physical sensation, a sweat droplet down the arm.
And makes them think about it, how you're
Noticing others thinking about how one pursues their desires.
Doing what you wanted
Doing what one wants and making an impact.
In the end there's only one of us
Acknowledging individuality as there is only one of us in the end.
At that point we turn into dust is that
Contemplating mortality as everything turns into dust.
Not what you wanted, people
Questioning whether the outcome aligns with one's desires.
Going through your pockets
People examining your belongings.
You'll find him strolling through the town
Depicting someone strolling through town with a downward gaze.
His head is always, pointed down but
Continuing the description of the person with a downward gaze.
That's not you
Contradicting the previous description, asserting that it's not you.
You know just what to do
Confidently knowing what to do despite appearances.
You'll find him strolling through the town
Repeating the description of someone strolling with a downward gaze.
His head is always, pointed down but
Reiterating that it's not you, despite similarities.
That's not you
Reassuring the understanding of what needs to be done.
You know just what to do
Affirming that it's a matter of one's perspective.
It's just your point of view
Stating again that it's just a point of view.
