Same Old Song
Eternal Quest: A Reflection on Time and Unanswered Questions
Lyrics
So we meet again, nothing has changed, sing the same old song, play the same old game
Reunion with familiarity, no evident change, repeating the same patterns in life.
See there is nothing new, under the sun, generation goes by another one come
Observation of life's cyclical nature, where one generation replaces another.
Some relaxed so they go, some in a hurry they run, but still we don’t know our destination
People move at different paces, yet the ultimate destination remains unknown.
Still the sun is rising up still the sun goes down, we’ve been searching so long but nothing we’ve found
Despite the passage of time, the search for meaning yields no tangible results.
Some relaxed so they go, some in a hurry they run
Reiteration of varied paces in life's journey.
But still we don’t know our destination
The uncertainty of life's purpose persists despite diverse approaches.
still the sun is rising up still the sun goes down
The continuity of life's cycles—sunrise to sunset—without clarity in the quest.
Yeah We’ve been searching so long, but nothing we’ve found
A prolonged search leading to a lack of significant discoveries or achievements.
So we kept ourselves laughing, under the spell of gold
Seeking solace in laughter, possibly masking the impact of material pursuits.
Now we wonder how brothers and sisters can be that cold
Reflection on the coldness or indifference among siblings despite shared experiences.
No no parts of our souls, a long time soul
Alluding to the enduring nature of the soul, untouched by external factors.
Soon comes the end of the story that is often been told
Anticipation of the conclusion to a familiar and oft-repeated story.
