Lyrics
Can you hear the sound of people laughing
Questioning the awareness of people towards their surroundings.
Because they think they know it all?
Mocking those who believe they have complete knowledge and understanding.
Where they've been and where they're going
Reflecting on people's confidence about their past and future.
As if they themselves had written on the wall.
Criticizing their arrogance as if they control their destiny.
The assuredness that power and money give them
Highlighting the confidence derived from power and wealth.
Their fate decided by their parents' cash.
Commenting on how financial privilege determines their fate.
The crank that gives them temporary laughter
Referring to humor that temporarily distracts them from reality.
By saying "Time flies but aero planes crash"
Ironically stating that time passes, but disasters can happen unexpectedly.
They can laugh off anything they can't relate to
Describing their ability to dismiss anything unfamiliar or uncomfortable.
Until the day before the day they die
Highlighting the realization of mortality close to death.
When suddenly they long for past existence
Expressing a sudden longing for the past as life nears its end.
And claim the right to forever stay alive
Claiming a right to eternal life despite the inevitability of death.
But all things in the present are outdated
Asserting that current values and beliefs become obsolete.
And everything must someday fade away
Stating the impermanence of everything, and all things fade away.
Our actions are all transient and fated
Acknowledging the transient and predetermined nature of actions.
And tomorrow isn't just another day
Rejecting the notion that tomorrow is just another ordinary day.
Can you hear the sound of people crying
Noting the sorrow of those realizing their lack of understanding.
Because once they thought they knew it all?
Describing the crumbling confidence as time reveals truth.
And now their self-assurances are dying
Portraying the erosion of self-assurance as time passes.
As time erodes the writing on the wall
Connecting the fading writing on the wall with the erosion of certainty.
Don't take everything for granted
Advising against taking things for granted or assuming certainty.
Exist as if the moment was your last
Encouraging a mindful existence, treating each moment as precious.
Don't wait complacently for your future
Discouraging passive waiting for the future without active participation.
Don't live in memories of things gone past
Warning against living solely in memories, emphasizing the present.
Live in awareness of the fact you're alive
Promoting awareness and enjoyment of the current moment.
Enjoy it while you got it as the time goes by.
Encouraging appreciation of life amidst the continuous passage of time.
