The Ghost of Lincoln
Discovering Life's Cosmic Dance: The Ghost of Lincoln
Lyrics
Ashes of a star
A metaphorical reference to the remnants or remnants of something significant, possibly a representation of history or past events.
Swirlin' in our veins
Suggests a connection between individuals and the universe, implying a shared essence with cosmic elements.
I think of all the history come before and mysteries accounted for
Reflecting on the entirety of history and acknowledging the mysteries that have been solved along with those that remain unsolved.
And many more that we still can't explain
Despite advancements, there are still phenomena or occurrences that defy explanation.
As we sit out by the garden where the hummingbirds are fighting over flowers
Observing a natural setting where conflicts exist, likened to the struggles in the world.
So you read the news
Awareness of current events and negativity portrayed in the media.
Everything that's going wrong
An awareness of societal problems or challenges.
Started out your morning with a warning bout the thunderclouds forming
Beginning the day with warnings or concerns about potential troubles.
And which side we should be on
Considering which stance or perspective to take in these troubling times.
But when I look at the world I don't see sides
Rejecting the idea of dividing the world into opposing sides.
I see facets of a giant cosmic disco ball
Perceiving the world as multifaceted, like a disco ball, showing various angles or aspects.
And I see us all
Recognizing the collective presence of humanity within this complex world.
Flyin' down the mountainside, smell the brakes burnin'
Experiencing life's journey with a sense of urgency and intensity.
Tell the ghost of Lincoln he can drive
A metaphorical invocation of the past, suggesting a conversation or message for historical significance.
Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
Life portrayed as a cyclical process that continues endlessly.
Learnin' what it means to be alive
Learning and understanding the essence of existence and being present in the moment.
Ripples spreading out
Signifying the far-reaching effects of actions or events.
Dancers in a line
An analogy likening life to a dance, suggesting the unity of humanity in the passage of time.
Older than we've ever been, we'll never be this young again
Acknowledging the inevitability of aging and the fleeting nature of youth.
And never know when we'll run out of time
Uncertainty regarding the duration of existence or lifespan.
As was race along the razor's edge and look over the window ledge
Metaphorically racing through life's precarious situations and contemplating its highs and lows.
At canyons of hope and misery
Observing contrasting elements in life, hope, and despair.
Won't you come with me and go
Invitation to accompany on an adventurous journey through life's experiences.
Flyin' down the mountainside, smell the brakes burnin'
Reiteration of the desire to experience life's journey intensely, embracing its uncertainties, and understanding its essence.
Tell the ghost of Lincoln he can drive
-Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
-Learnin' what it means to be alive
-Let's go flyin' down the mountainside, smell the brakes burnin'
-Tell the ghost of Lincoln he can drive
-Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
-Learnin' what it means to be alive
-Let's go flyin' down the mountainside, smell the brakes burnin'
-Tell the ghost of Lincoln he can drive
-Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
-Learnin' what it means to be alive
