Wings of Tragedy: Reflecting on Life's Soaring Heights and Crushing Falls
Lyrics
Man was never meant to fly
Man's inherent nature is not designed for flight.
That's why we're born without wings
Humans are born without wings, emphasizing their inability to fly.
But it's times like these you can't help but
In certain situations, one cannot help but contemplate deeply.
Marvel in the tragedy
Reflecting on tragic events can be a source of marvel.
The reminder of finality
Events serve as reminders of the inevitability of death.
When you fall from such great heights
Falling from great heights symbolizes a significant downfall.
Don't expect to pick yourself off the ground
After a significant fall, recovery is not easy.
When the symbol of hope
The symbol of hope may fail or disappoint.
Runs like the Doomsday Moon
Comparing the running of hope to the ominous Doomsday Moon.
You'll believe
Belief arises when faced with extraordinary circumstances.
Even God can bleed
The notion that even the divine can experience suffering.
Sometimes your faith yields no reward
Faith does not always lead to positive outcomes.
Sometimes you get what you deserve
Consequences may not always align with one's actions.
Man was never meant to fly
Reiteration that humans are not meant to fly.
There are no shortcuts to Heaven
No easy routes exist to reach Heaven.
When you have questions for God
Questions posed to God may remain unanswered in life.
You'll get no answers in life
Lack of clarity in life regarding existential queries.
Fly high as you like
Flying high does not exempt one from death.
You still have to die
Death is inevitable regardless of achievements or aspirations.
But death still comes for good and evil alike
Death is impartial, affecting both good and evil individuals.
I've seen it
Personal experience and observation of death.
I've lived it
Lived through the profound impact of death.
I was there
The speaker was present during significant events.
The symbol of hope
The symbol of hope can transform into a symbol of death.
Becomes a symbol of death
Hope's transformation leaves others isolated and questioning.
And leaves the rest of us alone
The aftermath of hope turning into death is perplexing.
Wondering why
A sense of confusion and questioning about the outcomes.
Sometimes you need an empty sky
Occasionally, one needs solitude and emptiness.
Sometimes you need to see your heroes die
Witnessing the demise of heroes can be necessary.
It takes an act of faith
Having faith requires believing in different destinies.
To believe we don't all deserve
Challenging the notion that everyone deserves the same fate.
The same fate
Questioning the universal deservingness of a common fate.
