All Hands Held
Echoes of Togetherness: Nostalgic Reflections in Techno Cinema's 'All Hands Held'
Lyrics
There was a time
Reflecting on a past period
When I was young
A time of youth
And everyone around me sang
Surrounded by songs about the past
About before
Nostalgia for what was
And how it's gone
Regret for what's lost
Such a melancholy pang
A deep, sorrowful feeling
And in that moment
In that specific moment
All I could say
Gratitude expressed
Was thank you all for this day
Thankfulness for the present
Togetherness, and simple things
Appreciation for unity and simplicity
With all hands held
Symbolizing unity through physical touch
And all hearts warm
Emphasizing warmth and emotional connection
Long ago
Reference to a distant time
When we were young
Reflection on youthful associations
We stood with people we once knew
Being alongside familiar individuals
Huddled close
Close proximity and shared aspirations
And chasing dreams
Chasing aspirations which now evoke sadness
Now the hopes have turned us blue
Despondency due to dashed hopes
But now I wonder
Questioning one's current appreciation
If I am here
Uncertainty about gratitude in the present
Taking it for granted still
Questioning taking the present for granted
Togetherness, and simple things
Reiteration of valuing unity and simplicity
With all hands held
Re-emphasis on physical and emotional unity
And all hearts warm
Continued emphasis on emotional connections
As we face
Confronting life's challenges
The life we make
Wishing for the listener's consideration
I only hope you heed these words
Urging a decisive stance
Make a choice
Encouragement to stand firm
And stand your ground
Resolute perseverance
Holding out at every turn
Remaining steadfast despite challenges
Whatever happens
Irrespective of outcomes
Please promise me
Request for a promise to cherish time
That you will hold the time you have
Embrace the present tenderly
Close at heart, in gentle arms
Continued emphasis on unity and warmth
With all hands held
Reaffirmation of physical closeness
And all hearts warm
Reiterating emotional connection
Listen, I never ask for very much
Expressing modest needs
But with a touch
Desire for understanding through touch
Please understand
Highlighting human limitations
We may be finite
Recognition of mortality contrasted with actions
But our actions are forever
Emphasizing the enduring impact of actions
Listen, see days and weeks and years go by
Observing the passage of time
Don't say goodbye
Resisting farewells or endings
No, not just yet
Reluctance to part ways
Fate is but the course you set for you
Empowerment through self-determination
