Shapes of Things
Reflections on Time and Transformation
Lyrics
Shapes of things before my eyes
Contemplating the forms or nature of things in my sight
Just teach me to despise
Instruct me on how to feel intense dislike
Will time make men more wise?
Will the passage of time bring increased wisdom to humanity?
Here within my lonely frame
Reflecting from a place of solitude
My eyes just heard my brain
My visual perception is influencing my thoughts
But will it seem the same?
Will the experience be unchanged?
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Speculating on aging and personal development
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Considering the possibility of becoming a soldier
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Hoping for increased courage and boldness in the future
Now the trees are almost green
Observing the changing colors of trees as spring approaches
But will they still be seen
Questioning if these changes will remain visible
When time and tide have been?
Contemplating the impact of time and change on perception
Fallin' into your passing hands
Falling into the hands of time or fate
Please don't destroy these lands
Pleading not to harm or ruin the environment
Don't make them desert sands
Urging to preserve the natural landscape and avoid desertification
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Reiterating the contemplation of aging and personal change
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Considering the potential path of becoming a soldier
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Expressing the desire for increased boldness in the future
Soon I hope that I will find
Anticipating the discovery of profound thoughts within oneself
Thoughts deep within my mind
Hoping for thoughts that won't replace or displace one's identity
That won't displace my kind
A desire for enduring characteristics of humanity
