Hollow Sound
Embracing Shadows: Navigating Life's Uncharted Waters with The Satellite Station
Lyrics
My whole life I have been afraid
Expressing a lifelong fear
I have hedged my bets I have played it safe
Choosing safe options and avoiding risks
It’s hard to face that I’m just a man
Acknowledging vulnerability as a human
And all I can do is the best I can
Doing the best within one's capabilities
I never give myself a break
Being self-critical and not allowing oneself respite
Every good thing is either luck or fate
Attributing success to luck or fate
I’ll sow the seeds when I find new ground
Looking for new opportunities and beginnings
But the beat of my heart makes a hollow sound
Feeling an emptiness or lack of fulfillment in life
Yeah the beat of my heart it makes a hollow sound
Reiterating the hollowness felt in the heart
Oh I am losing sleep
Struggling with anxiety, possibly related to life's challenges
I’ve got miles to go
Having a long journey ahead, both metaphorically and literally
I’ve got mouths to feed
Responsibilities and obligations to fulfill
So when I lose this war with time
Anticipating a struggle against time
And I finally close my eyes
Contemplating the end of life
What will be left behind
Questioning the legacy and impact left behind
And the truth is all I’ll ever be
Accepting one's true identity and limited existence
Is a shadow cast on the open sea
Being a fleeting presence with little significance
When will I leave that stone behind
Reflecting on leaving behind personal burdens
It’s just a marker of this passing time
Recognizing time through symbolic markers
I never give myself a break
Continuing self-criticism and lack of breaks
Every good thing Is either luck or fate
Attributing success again to external factors
I’ll sow the seeds when I find new ground
Seeking new opportunities and growth
But the the beat of my heart makes a hollow sound
Reiterating the emptiness felt in the heart's rhythm
Yeah the beat of my heart it makes a hollow sound
Emphasizing the ongoing hollowness
Oh I am losing sleep
Struggling with anxiety, possibly related to life's challenges (repeated)
I’ve got miles to go
Having a long journey ahead, both metaphorically and literally (repeated)
I’ve got mouths to feed
Responsibilities and obligations to fulfill (repeated)
So when I lose this war with time
Anticipating a struggle against time (repeated)
And I finally close my eyes
Contemplating the end of life (repeated)
What will be left behind
Questioning the legacy and impact left behind (repeated)
Oh I am losing sleep
Struggling with anxiety, possibly related to life's challenges (repeated)
I’ve got miles to go
Having a long journey ahead, both metaphorically and literally (repeated)
I’ve got mouths to feed
Responsibilities and obligations to fulfill (repeated)
So when I lose this war with time
Anticipating a struggle against time (repeated)
And I finally close my eyes
Contemplating the end of life (repeated)
What will be left behind
Questioning the legacy and impact left behind (repeated)
