Kings and Queens
Ephemeral Realities: Reflections on Life's Unpredictable Journey
Lyrics
So sublime
Expressing something exceptionally beautiful or excellent
It hits you like waves
Having a profound impact, similar to the force of waves
that crash on your face
Intense experiences or challenges that confront and affect you
It knocks you like wind
Strong and sudden impact, comparable to the force of stormy winds
in storm on the sea
Facing difficulties or turbulence, akin to a storm on the sea
Suddenly
An abrupt realization or change in perspective
I feel like the world
Feeling as if the world could end suddenly
Could end in a flash
A sense of vulnerability and unpredictability
Can no more depend
Unable to rely on things assumed to be enduring
On the things I thought were to last
Realizing the impermanence of assumed enduring aspects of life
Kings and Queens
Referencing different social classes or types of people
Knaves and Thieves
Stating that despite differences, all people are fundamentally the same
Priests and Plebs
Highlighting diverse societal roles
They're all the same beings
Emphasizing the commonality of humanity
Breathe my last
Facing mortality and the inevitability of death
And depart and go where
Accepting the end and departing to an unknown destination
I know not
Acknowledging uncertainty about the afterlife or what comes next
The black hole beyond
Referring to a mysterious and unknown realm, possibly death
All of space and of time
Expanding the reference to include all of existence
Kings and Queens
Reiterating the idea of commonality among different social groups
Knaves and Thieves
Repeating the concept of shared fate despite societal differences
Priests and Plebs
Restating the diversity within society
Sharing the same fate
Affirming the shared destiny of all people
