Rest Easy
Rest Easy: A Soul's Journey to Liberation
Lyrics
All this work that's piled up
All the accumulated work and responsibilities
Just a ladder to the sun
Symbolic representation of aspirations and goals
Watch the wings begin to melt
Observing the beginning of failure or setbacks
And the effort is undone
Efforts becoming futile or in vain
And I wanna rest easy
Desire for a state of relaxation and tranquility
Give it your best they say
Encouragement to give one's best effort
But what happens when the best rest
Questioning what happens when the best effort results in rest
Comes at the end of days
Suggesting that the best rest may come towards the end of life
Is the body just a cage
Contemplating whether the body confines the mind
The mind has to escape
The mind's need to break free from constraints
Or does every piece get mended
Questioning if every broken aspect can be healed
In a thundering of grace
Possibly referring to redemption or salvation
Start giving it all away
Initiating a process of giving without expecting in return
I'm brushing off this dead weight
Getting rid of burdens or negative influences
I'm riding the summer breeze
Metaphorically riding a positive and carefree experience
And dreaming bout you and me
Daydreaming about a positive future with someone special
I'm living for more than stuff
Choosing a purpose beyond material possessions
I sail when the waters rough
Facing challenges with resilience
I'm skipping on holiday
Enjoying leisure without concern for societal expectations
Don't care what the poets say
Disregarding conventional wisdom or advice
I'm gonna rest easy
Attaining a state of peace and contentment
