Black Marble
Reflections of Solitude: To Kill Achilles' Black Marble
Lyrics
I don’t know what to think
I am uncertain about my thoughts.
I don’t know how to feel
I am unsure about my emotions.
All I know is that I don’t feel like I’m really here
I feel disconnected, like I'm not truly present.
Maybe in body
Possibly physically present, but not spiritually or emotionally.
But not in soul
My soul doesn't feel engaged or connected.
Maybe when I grow up, maybe when I get old
There's uncertainty about finding purpose as I age.
But to be fair the seasons growing cold
Acknowledging that time is passing and things are changing.
And I’m watching leaves from the trees falling to the floor
Observing the changing seasons, symbolizing life's cycles.
Perhaps in years to come I will find my place
Hoping to find a sense of belonging in the future.
But as it stands right now I’m standing here alone
Currently feeling isolated and alone.
These lines on my face are getting deeper
Signs of aging and life experiences are becoming more evident.
Every time I look in the mirror
Reflection on aging through the impact on one's appearance.
But my list of things I hoped to achieve is as empty as the home I share
Unfulfilled aspirations, an empty list of achievements.
The home I share with no one
Living in a home devoid of companionship.
Let me tell you a story about a guy who lived
A narrative about a person who lived a meaningful life.
He did his best, gave it all, had one final wish
He gave his best effort and had a final wish.
That maybe when he’s gone someone will say
Hoping for posthumous recognition and remembrance.
“Hey remember that guy, yeah he was great”
The desire for people to acknowledge his greatness after death.
But in reality people just move on
Reality sets in – people move on, and memories fade.
And one piece remains
Despite this, a fragment of his legacy persists in this song.
This song
The song itself stands as a lasting piece of remembrance.
