The After
Embracing Today: Tony Cuchetti's Poetic Reflections on Life
Lyrics
Feels like the sun, just kissed a new day
Expressing the feeling of a new beginning, akin to the warmth of the sun at sunrise.
Now it's sinking low again, already heading for tomorrow
Reflecting on the cyclical nature of time, with the day ending and anticipating the future.
Seems like the face, in the mirror looking my way
Noticing a sense of self-awareness and introspection in the mirror.
Is a little more concerned, trying to find more time to borrow
Feeling an increased concern, possibly related to time constraints and the need for more time.
It's a shame we carry on like we own forever
Commenting on the tendency of people to act as if they have endless time.
Don't wait in vain, forty, fifty, sixty years leave us to wonder
Highlighting the passage of time (40, 50, 60 years) and the uncertainty it brings.
No one to blame, no guarantee there'll be another chapter
Emphasizing the lack of certainty and assurance regarding future events or experiences.
Cause' it's a shame, what a waste, waiting on the after
Expressing regret and sorrow for wasting time while waiting for a future that may not come.
For every time, you toed the line waiting for an answer
Reflecting on the repetitive nature of seeking answers without taking decisive action.
Asking angels above for that glory and fame.
Describing a quest for recognition and success by invoking celestial beings.
You fell behind, when all you had to do was take a chance on
Regretting falling behind in life when the solution might have been taking risks and seizing opportunities.
The fact that joy ain't down the road, it's living full each and everyday
Encouraging the idea that happiness is not in the future but in living fully each day.
It's a shame we carry on like we own forever
Reiterating the theme of people acting as if time is limitless.
Don't wait in vain, forty, fifty, sixty years leave us to wonder
Stressing the uncertainty of the future and the wonder it brings after several decades.
No one to blame, no guarantee there'll be another chapter
Repeating the lack of guarantees and the absence of a definite next chapter in life.
Cause' it's a shame, what a waste, waiting on the after
Summarizing the regret and waste of time in anticipation of an uncertain future.
No one to blame, no guarantee there'll be another chapter
Reiterating the absence of guarantees and the potential lack of future opportunities.
Cause' it's a shame, what a waste, waiting on the after
Re-emphasizing the regret and waste of waiting for a future that may never materialize.
Cause' it's a shame, what a waste, waiting on the after
Concluding with a repetition of the theme, underlining the regret and waste of waiting for an uncertain future.
