Shapes of Things
Discovering Wisdom in the Shapes of Things
Lyrics
Shapes of things before my eyes
Contemplating the forms or nature of things in the world.
Just teach me to despise
Expressing a desire to be taught how to despise or reject certain things.
Will time make men more wise?
Questioning whether time will bring increased wisdom to humanity.
Here within my lonely frame
Reflecting on personal solitude and introspection.
My eyes just heard my brain
Suggesting that the eyes are communicating with the brain.
But will it seem the same?
Wondering if the perception of the world will remain unchanged.
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Pondering the aging process and potential changes in perspective.
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Considering the possibility of becoming a soldier in the future.
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Hoping for personal growth and increased courage in the future.
Now the trees are almost green
Observing the changing colors of trees in nature.
But will they still be seen
Raising the question of whether these changes will be noticeable.
When time and tide have been?
Contemplating the impact of time and external forces on perception.
Fallin' into your passing hands
Addressing the potential harm to the environment and its plea for preservation.
Please don't destroy these lands
Urging against the destruction of the natural world.
Don't make them desert sands
Expressing concern about turning habitable lands into deserts.
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Reiterating the contemplation of aging and its effects on the self.
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Revisiting the potential role of becoming a soldier in the future.
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Emphasizing the desire for increased boldness in the future.
Soon I hope that I will find
Expressing hope for finding profound thoughts within the mind.
Thoughts deep within my mind
Desiring thoughts that won't displace or harm one's own kind.
That won't displace my kind
Ends with a hopeful aspiration for a positive future.
