Show No Shade
Eternal Drift: Unveiling the Cosmic Tapestry in Sticky Fingers' 'Show No Shade'
Lyrics
I'm far away in a planetary dream
I find myself in a distant, dreamlike place.
But the cracks in the concrete keep me running on my feet
The challenges in life, represented by cracks in concrete, keep me moving forward.
Far and long ago when no one could sleep
Referring to a time in the past when people faced difficulties sleeping.
Cause all these chunks of rhythm rain steady dropping clean
Rhythmic elements symbolize life's experiences, falling consistently and cleanly.
Put it all behind me and I let down my guard
I've put my troubles behind me and lowered my defenses.
And follow on down my resurrected path
I'm following a rejuvenated path in life.
In immortal timeless air we ain't no worry never care
In a timeless and immortal atmosphere, there's no worry or care.
But few know this place cause paradise is rare
Paradise is rare, and only a few are familiar with this special place.
Drifting through reality
Moving through the complexities of life.
Drifting through a past life
Reflecting on a past life while drifting through it.
But now I'm moving on
I'm moving forward despite past experiences.
Since I see your backside
Seeing someone's backside suggests they are moving away or leaving.
I know it won't be long
Anticipating that the separation won't last long.
It takes another to recover from the worst we can drop
To recover from life's challenges, another person is needed.
I'm falling through oblivion, go faster, then stop
Experiencing a free fall into the unknown, alternated with moments of abrupt stops.
Got nothing to show that you've already seen
Having nothing new to present despite previous exposure.
But all these chunks of rhythm rain steady dropping clean
Continuing reference to life's rhythmic elements falling consistently and cleanly.
Quick and clever
Emphasizing agility and intelligence.
The soul will live forever
The soul is considered eternal and will persist beyond the current form.
Into another body it doesn't matter when you're whatever
Reincarnation is suggested, emphasizing the insignificance of time.
Drifting through reality
Continuing the theme of navigating through life's complexities.
Drifting through a past life
Reflection on a past life while moving forward.
But now I'm moving on
Moving on from past experiences.
Since I see your backside
Seeing someone's backside, indicating departure, and expecting a brief separation.
I know it won't be long
Anticipating a short duration of separation.
For now we're gone on wondering
Currently, we're exploring unknown territories.
One thousand years will show no shade
A thousand years will pass without leaving a trace or shadow.
Look how we're here we couldn't say
Reflecting on the present moment and the inability to express it.
Watch how the never fades away
Observing the persistence of certain things despite the passage of time.
I'm hurt inside
An admission of internal emotional pain.
I'm hurt inside
Reiteration of emotional distress.
I'm hurt inside
Expressing continued emotional pain.
I'm hurt inside
Repeating the acknowledgment of internal hurt.
