Don't Stay
Embrace Life's Dive: Sylvia von's Poetic Ode to Courage
Lyrics
It's the moment of silence under the water
Reflecting on a quiet moment underwater.
It's the feeling of being gently held by a wave
Describing the sensation of being embraced by a wave.
It's knowing that when you hold your breath
Awareness that taking a risk can lead to positive outcomes.
Jump off that deck, you'll be okay
Encouragement to take a leap of faith, with assurance of safety.
Before you dive into the water
Prior to diving, acknowledging the excitement and anticipation.
The excitement is loud, you feel it on your skin
Feeling the heightened excitement on the skin.
You know that you just can't wait
Impatiently anticipating the upcoming experience.
So you don't hesitate to jump in
Readiness to embrace the unknown by jumping in without hesitation.
And you're not sure what's coming when you break the surface
Uncertainty upon breaking the water's surface.
You only know the journey leading up to this
Emphasis on the journey leading to the present moment.
And I know you wanna stay like this forever
Expressing a desire to prolong the current state indefinitely.
But you won't know all the things you're gonna miss
Acknowledging the inevitability of missing out on future experiences.
It's a good life
Positive recognition of life's goodness.
Don't let it pass by
Encouragement not to let life pass by without seizing opportunities.
Don't stay
An explicit directive to avoid staying in one place or mindset.
It's the feeling of rest wrapped in the water
Describing the sensation of relaxation while submerged in water.
You're only floating, there's nothing to see
Experiencing a sense of weightlessness and tranquility.
Time slows down, there is no sound
Time seemingly slowing down, creating a serene atmosphere.
It's just me
A moment of self-reflection and introspection.
It's the fear of the silence under the water
Fear arising in the silence beneath the water's surface.
And you're wondering if you'll ever see another day
Contemplating the uncertainty of the future.
It's takes all of the soul you have left to catch your breath
Requiring significant effort to regain composure and breathe.
It's so far away
Feeling a distant, challenging future ahead.
And you're not sure what's coming when you break the surface
Reiteration of uncertainty upon emerging from the water.
You only know the journey leading up to this
Emphasizing the importance of the journey leading to the present.
And I know you wanna stay like this forever
Reiterating the desire to remain in the current state forever.
But you won't know all the things you're gonna miss
Acknowledging the inevitability of missing out on future experiences.
Keep pushing through
Encouragement to persist and overcome challenges.
Do it for you
Urging action for one's own benefit.
Don't stay
A reaffirmation of the directive to avoid staying in one place or mindset.
Don't stay
A final and explicit directive to avoid staying in one place or mindset.
