Down for So Long
Quest for Meaning: Exploring Life's Depths
Lyrics
Because a cynic told me
Being influenced by a cynical perspective
The best is yet to come
Expecting better things in the future
The day we all die on our backs
Imagining a common end where everyone dies peacefully outdoors
Out in the sun
Under the sun, possibly referring to a pleasant setting
And now the dawn time shadows haunt my every thought
Feeling haunted by shadows during dawn
I've been lost in blind drunk photo phobia
Experiencing a state of confusion or disorientation
I've been searching so long
Longing for something or someone for an extended period
Then an analyst said,
An analyst advises not to worry about the inevitability of death
"why fret finality?"
Questioning the concern for the ultimate end
'Cause, looking up,
Nothing superior is watching or judging
Ain't nothing looking down on me
Rejecting external judgment or influence
And if the man upstairs
Considering the lack of concern from a higher power
Don't care what's going on
Suggesting the need to determine right and wrong independently
Then we can find out for ourselves
Encouraging self-discovery and exploration
What's right and wrong
Emphasizing the importance of personal understanding of morality
I've been searching so long
Continued longing or searching for meaning
I'm coming around
A turning point or change in perspective
I've been searching so long
Reiteration of the prolonged search
I've been searching so long
Repetition, reinforcing the extended quest
'Cause we can do it for ourselves
Empowerment to take control and act independently
(la la la)
Expressing the possibility of self-determination
We can do it for ourselves
Repetition, highlighting the capability to act for oneself
(la la la)
Repetition, emphasizing self-reliance
We can do it for ourselves
Repetition, reinforcing the theme of self-empowerment
(la la la)
Repetition, underscoring the idea of self-sufficiency
I've been searching so long
Continued searching for meaning or purpose
