Lyrics
When I woke up this morning
Reflecting on the start of the day
There was something in the air
Sensing a distinct atmosphere or vibe
Silently imploring me
Quietly urging or prompting me
A wayward wishing prayer
A desire or hope expressed without speaking
Was the life I'd been ignoring
The existence I neglected or overlooked
Tucked away in disrepair
Hidden and neglected, in need of repair
Til I found out I was mourning
Realizing the mourning of a lost part of myself
A part of me I lost somewhere
Discovering a missing aspect of my identity
I was looking for an answer
Searching for a solution
Couldn't find it anywhere
Unable to find answers anywhere
Only when my heart was broken
Understanding only when emotionally hurt
Could I choose when not to care
Choosing not to care only in moments of heartbreak
When you're standing out in the open
Being exposed and vulnerable
And the wind is blowing passed
Feeling the passing of time and experiences
The illusion that you're going somewhere
Perceiving progress or movement despite standing still
Even though you're standing fast
A sense of stagnation despite apparent advancement
When I woke up it was pouring
Awakening to heavy rainfall
From a dream so very rare
From an uncommon and significant dream
In which the rain was roaring
Where rain symbolizes intensity
You were waiting for me there
You, as a significant presence, waiting in the dream
And I took your hand knowing
Choosing to connect, realizing potential
There is more I am meant to be
Acknowledging a greater purpose or destiny
Than a tree for in the forest
More than a mere existence, having a purpose
A fish from in the sea
Symbolizing diversity and exploration
I see what I've been given
Recognizing and appreciating what life has offered
In a late night love affair
In a deep emotional connection
More than that which I was living
More than the superficial existence, left behind
Forgotten in despair
Lost and forgotten in a state of hopelessness
I hope that I wake in the future
Expressing a desire for a positive future
But I know that I'll dream of the past
Recognizing the inevitability of reminiscing
It's a shame that this can't be forever
Regretting the impermanence of beauty
But beauty's just not made to last
Acknowledging the transient nature of beauty
It's not made to last
Accepting the ephemeral quality of beauty
