Ostrich and the Sands of Time
Journey Through Time's Absurdity
Lyrics
Oh what you find sad no doubt
Expressing indifference or amusement towards something that someone else finds sad or distressing.
I laugh and tip my hat about
Continuing to show a lack of concern or seriousness by laughing and casually acknowledging the perceived sadness.
The ostrich and the sands of time
Referencing a metaphorical scenario involving an ostrich and the concept of time passing.
Lost its head in a game designed
Implies that the ostrich metaphorically lost its ability to perceive time or reality due to being caught up in a game created by others.
By a million feeble passersby
Describing the multitude of people involved in the game, suggesting their weakness or lack of insight.
Hiding in their own delight
Suggesting that these individuals are content in their own self-centered happiness or ignorance.
Addicted to the expectation
Highlighting a dependency on anticipating certain outcomes or events.
Confounded by the outcome
Feeling confused or puzzled by the results or consequences that occur.
The pilgrim is on vacation
Metaphorically depicting a person detached from their usual pursuits or obligations.
Fat lethargic and outnumbered
Describing this detached person as overweight, lazy, and in the minority.
If you could you would you know
Questioning whether one would willingly trade their genuine identity for external validation.
Be sure to sell your true self glow
Encouraging the idea of presenting a false persona to gain acceptance from others.
To the ostrich and the sands of time
Reiterating the connection between the ostrich and the passage of time, now abandoned in its prime.
Abandoned in its shaded prime
Describing the ostrich as left behind in a significant or flourishing period.
Addicted to the expectation
Repeating the theme of dependency on anticipating certain outcomes.
Confounded by the outcome The pilgrim is on vacation
Reiterating the feeling of confusion or being bewildered by the results or consequences.
Fat lethargic and outnumbered
Restating the description of the detached person as overweight, lazy, and in the minority.
