Lyrics
Are we really spinning around
Questioning the nature of our existence and movement in the universe.
Like the way they say?
Wondering if our reality aligns with common perceptions.
Circling the sun somewhere out in space
Contemplating Earth's orbit around the sun in the vastness of space.
Seems really far away
Expressing the perceived distance between Earth and celestial bodies.
And we’re here standing still
Reflecting on the apparent lack of movement despite Earth's rotation.
Don’t you think we should be falling?
Questioning the expectation of falling due to Earth's rotation.
Cos if the earth’s revolving
Contemplating the contradiction of standing still while the Earth revolves.
Why don’t we all fall in?
Posing a question about why everyone doesn't fall if the Earth is revolving.

Expressing uncertainty about what the future holds.
If you could give me your worries
Offering to shoulder someone else's worries.
I could carry em all for you
Expressing a willingness to carry the burdens of another.
Where we’re headed there’s a red line
Referring to a potential challenge or obstacle ahead.
In store for you
Reiterating uncertainty about the future.
Live a long life Betty White

“Dada, how do waves happen?”
Quoting a child's question about the origin of waves.
I point to the endless sea
Pointing to the sea as the source of waves.
Can you believe it’s own patterns?

Caused by the tides beneath
Attributing wave patterns to the influence of the sun and moon.

If I’m honest I’m a bit confused
Admitting confusion about the mechanics of water movement.
See I don’t know the way the water moves

But trouble gonna come our way
Acknowledging the inevitability of trouble in life.
Looking at the glow on the cityscape
Observing the city lights again.
Wonder what will come with the winds of change

Like crashing waves from somewhere far away
