Tomorrow
Ephemeral Shadows: Embracing the Dark Tapestry of Tomorrow
Lyrics
Oh my queen, the light is fast asleep
Reflecting on a sleeping or inactive state of an important figure, possibly a ruler.
Darkness comes as easy as a breath
Highlighting the ease with which darkness or challenging times can prevail.
Damn the daylight and every passing hour
Expressing frustration with the passage of time and the daylight that leads towards inevitable demise.
That lights the weary path to dusty death
Describing the journey of life towards an inevitable and dusty death.
Brief candle out, out, out
Metaphorically referring to life as a brief candle, emphasizing its transience and fragility.
Bid us rest
Asking for peace and rest after the struggles of life.
Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow
Contemplating the relentless progression of time represented by "tomorrow."
Creeps in this petty pace, day after day
Describing the slow and seemingly insignificant pace at which tomorrow arrives repeatedly.
Oh the sorrow, I'm drowning in the sorrow
Expressing deep sorrow and a sense of drowning in the hardships of life.
Dark providence has its way, day after day
Acknowledging the influence of fate or destiny in the unfolding of dark events.
We are walking shadows, players on a stage
Describing human existence as transient and theatrical, akin to actors on a stage.
Stumbling around for just an hour
Portraying individuals as stumbling through life for a short duration.
Say our lines, take a bow and then we're heard no more
Emphasizing the ephemeral nature of life by comparing it to a brief performance on a stage.
Oh the sound and the fury of it all
Expressing the tumultuous and intense nature of life experiences.
Brief candle out, out, out
Reiterating the metaphor of life as a brief candle, with an emphasis on its fleeting nature.
Curtain call
Referring to the end of the performance or the conclusion of life's journey with a curtain call.
Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow
Repeating the contemplation of the relentless march of time represented by "tomorrow."
Creeps in this petty pace, day after day
Reiterating the slow and seemingly insignificant pace at which tomorrow arrives repeatedly.
Oh the sorrow, I'm drowning in the sorrow
Reiterating a profound sense of sorrow and the overwhelming influence of dark providence.
Dark providence has its way, day after day
Acknowledging the persistence of fate or destiny in shaping difficult circumstances day after day.
Day after day, there's nothing left to say
Conveying a sense of resignation, as if there is nothing meaningful left to express or do.
Day after day
Repeating the phrase "day after day," emphasizing the monotony of existence.
There would've been time for such a word
Reflecting on missed opportunities for meaningful communication or action.
