Lyrics
How lovely a find
Expressing delight in discovering something pleasant.
That's entered my mind
Reflecting on a thought or idea that has entered the mind.
Along this mossy trail
Describing a path covered in moss, suggesting a natural setting.
How coiley it hides
Highlighting the hidden or coiled nature of a truth.
The truth about how it is
Acknowledging the difficulty in understanding the truth.
We can't ask how
Emphasizing the impossibility of asking certain questions about it.
Crowds jump to their death
Describing a disturbing scene of people jumping off a bridge.
From the bridge as I drive by tonight
Observing this scene while driving by at night.
And they've missed out on it all
Commenting on the missed experiences of those who jumped.
The whole gist there as they fall
Suggesting a deeper understanding of life's essence during the fall.
You're not expected to know why it's such a short time
Explaining the brevity of life and the lack of a clear reason.
And there are stanzas never meant to rhyme
Noting that some aspects of life are not meant to fit into conventional patterns.
Far better I find
Expressing a preference for attempting to bridge differences.
It is when we try to span
Highlighting the challenge of navigating the strange and unknown.
The weird divide
Acknowledging the absence of a clear understanding.
With no real notion
Stressing the importance of stepping out of established boundaries.
We step out of bounds
Reflecting on breaking free from societal expectations.
And think and escape their lies
Contemplating the act of thinking and escaping falsehoods.
We've marched so long
Recalling a long journey, perhaps through life's experiences.
And we've much farther than we've got to go
Acknowledging the distance yet to be covered.
We're making a new ship
Announcing the creation of a new journey or endeavor.
Christen it for the trip
Symbolizing the start of a new phase, christening a ship for the journey.
With a toddler at the helm this time
Adding a playful image of a toddler steering the ship.
And there are things we will never will define
Acknowledging the existence of undefined aspects in life.
Crowds jump to their deaths
Repeating the scene of people jumping off the bridge.
From the bridge as I drive by tonight
Reiterating the observation while driving by at night.
And they missed out on it all
Reemphasizing the missed opportunities for those who jumped.
The whole gist there as they fall
Restating the deeper understanding of life's essence during the fall.
You're not expected to know why it's such a short time
Reiterating the mysterious and brief nature of life.
And there are things we will never will define
Affirming the existence of undefined aspects in life.
