Everything That Rises Must Converge
Convergence of Life's Lessons: A Musical Revelation
Lyrics
Some folks are like umbrellas
Some people are transient and fleeting in your life, much like umbrellas.
They pass through your life with little meaning
They pass through your life without significant impact or depth.
And then there's the ones who make you hang on to every word
However, there are individuals who captivate your attention, making every word meaningful.
Well she was one of the latter
The speaker refers to a person (she) who falls into the latter category.
She came into my room and told me things that matter'd, like
This person entered the speaker's life and shared important, impactful information.
Everything that rises must converge
The speaker introduces the theme that "Everything that rises must converge."
When so-called experts try to tell you that
There's a reference to so-called experts denying the possibility of parallel lines intersecting.
Parallel lines will never intersect
Rejecting the notion that parallel paths will never meet.
Don't listen to the man
An urging not to heed the advice or beliefs of such experts.
Don't you believe a word
An explicit directive to disregard their words completely.
I'm speaking from experience
The speaker emphasizes personal experience as the basis for their perspective.
Everything that floats is gonne run into something 'cause
A general statement about things that float inevitably encountering obstacles.
Everything that rises must converge.
A restatement of the theme that "Everything that rises must converge."
Some folks are like umbrellas
A repetition of the analogy of some people being like passing umbrellas.
They pass through your life with little meaning
Reiterating that some individuals have little lasting impact in one's life.
And then there's the ones who make you hang on to every word
Highlighting the contrast with those who make every word significant.
Well he was one of the latter
Now referring to a different person (he) who falls into the latter category.
He came into my room and told me things that matter'd, like
This person shared important information that mattered to the speaker.
Everything that rises must converge
A repetition of the theme, emphasizing the inevitability that everything rising will converge.
