Prophet of Doom
Navigating the Abyss: A Journey through Existential Reflection
Lyrics
How can I pretend there's no end sitting in this boat?
Contemplating the inevitability of an end while on a boat
All alone on the sea just something drifting by
Isolated on the sea, observing random things passing by
I always will remain somewhat grim about the future
Permanently somewhat pessimistic about the future
But here I can dream I'm floating by your house
Finding solace in dreams while floating near a loved one's house
And the water turns to grass and disappears
Imagining a transformation where water turns to grass and vanishes
Somewhere out in space there's a tree with someone underneath
Speculating about a distant place where someone seeks shelter under a tree
Seeking shade from their sun that I can't even see
Yearning for shade from an unseen sun and contemplating the unknown
I'd like to see their face in alien moonlight
Desiring to see someone's face illuminated by an alien moon
But now all around, the sea begins to stir
Surrounded by stirring seas, a realization that surroundings change
I'm reminded where I am they disappear
Acknowledging the impermanence of illusions when faced with reality
A mile or two below solid ground is waiting for me now
Anticipating solid ground below, contemplating mortality
At least I will return to what I'm made of
Accepting a return to one's fundamental nature
How can I pretend there's no end sitting in this boat?
Reiterating the challenge of denying an approaching end on the boat
All alone and the sea will surely swallow me
Feeling the imminent engulfment by the sea while being alone
I always will believe we still have a future of some kind
Maintaining belief in a future, though uncertain
But now floating to your door
Current state of floating towards a significant destination
Floating to your door and the water turns to grass
Continuation of the journey with a surreal transformation
Floating to your door
Repeating the process of floating towards the destination
