Ancient Pages
Navigating Darkness: Unraveling the Meaning Behind 'Ancient Pages'
Lyrics
I'm growing tired
I'm feeling weary and exhausted.
But I just can't get to sleep
I'm struggling to fall asleep despite my fatigue.
For the mountains have been rigid
The challenges I face are formidable and unyielding.
And the valleys all run steep
The difficulties in my life are profound and steep.
We started on this journey
We embarked on a journey with shared beliefs.
And we said that we believed
We professed our faith, but it was coupled with arrogance and naivety.
But we were arrogant
We were overly confident and lacked experience.
And far too much naive
We didn't fully grasp the challenges ahead.
Tell me what to carry
I seek guidance on what burdens to carry on this journey.
And tell me what to take
I need direction on what to prioritize and preserve.
Cause I can't tell my dreaming
Distinguishing between dreams and reality is difficult.
From the hours that I'm awake
I struggle to discern between sleep and wakefulness.
I'm burdened by the troubles
I carry the weight of troubles in my exhausted mind.
In my tried and tired mind
My mind is burdened by challenges and weariness.
I've been searching
I've been searching for something without clarity.
But I don't know what to find
Uncertain about what I should discover or achieve.
But if stars fall from the sky
We have the power to reshape our destiny if setbacks occur.
We'll rearrange them as we see
We can redefine challenges to suit our needs.
And we'll rip up these ancient pages
We will reject traditional beliefs and norms.
In darkness and in wilderness we'll be
We will navigate through difficulties in the unknown.
Lord knows I've been patient
I have been enduring challenges with patience.
And lord knows that I've prayed
I have been praying for resolution.
I've been waiting on old promises
I've been waiting for promises made in the past.
Of former yesterdays
These promises are from a time that has passed.
There's abundance in the emptiness
There is value in emptiness and lack.
That's what I have been told
This concept contradicts what I've been told.
But I find moments
Despite emptiness, holding onto moments is challenging.
Are the hardest things to hold
The fleeting nature of moments makes them difficult to retain.
But if stars fall from the sky
We can redefine destiny even if challenges arise.
We'll rearrange them as we see
We can rearrange obstacles to our advantage.
And we'll rip up these ancient pages
We will reject outdated beliefs and norms.
In darkness and in wilderness we'll be
We will navigate through difficulties in the unknown.
And if stars fall from the sky
If setbacks occur, let them spread across the world.
Let them scatter 'cross the earth
Allow challenges to be scattered far and wide.
Where they be
Wherever they end up.
And we'll rip up these ancient pages
We will reject traditional beliefs and norms.
In darkness and in wilderness we're free
We will navigate through difficulties in the unknown.
And if stars fall from the sky
If challenges arise, we can redefine our destiny.
We'll rearrange them as we see
We can rearrange obstacles to our advantage.
And we'll rip up these ancient pages
We will reject outdated beliefs and norms.
In darkness and in wilderness we'll be
We will navigate through difficulties in the unknown.
