Curse of the Unknown
Embracing the Unknown Journey
Lyrics
I fell asleep
I entered a state of unconsciousness
Inside a hollow tree
Metaphorically, I found solace or refuge in a lifeless and empty space
Phenomenons
Unusual occurrences or events
And monotonous routines
Repetitive and dull daily activities
Surely there’s a womb or a tomb
There might be a nurturing or destructive force within me
In me
Suggesting a dormant aspect waiting to be awakened
Waiting to thaw me out
Anticipation of a transformative experience
I fell asleep
Repetition of falling asleep inside a hollow tree
Inside a hollow tree
Symbolizing withdrawal from societal niceties
Retired from the courts
Retired from engaging in pleasant but superficial interactions
Of pleasantries
Expectation of a different world upon awakening
When I awake
Awaiting a significant change
The world will be
Envisioning a transformed reality
Humming a brand new sound
Anticipation of a novel and positive future
But when
Reflection on mortality and finality
What’s dead is dead
Acceptance that certain things are irrevocably gone
And what’s to be
Recognition that the future is yet to unfold
Is not yet born
Embracing the uncertainty of what lies ahead
Will you hold your breath
Questioning whether to anxiously await the unknown
That’s the curse of the unknown
Identifying the fear associated with uncertainty
Better be birth in disaster
Suggesting that significant change often arises from challenging situations
I ain’t reading all these books for not
Emphasizing the value of knowledge and learning
I’m craving spiritual power
Expressing a desire for spiritual growth
Crawling down on my knees
Symbolic act of humility or submission
And yelling
Outpouring of emotions, possibly desperation or vulnerability
Baby I’m broke
Admission of financial struggle
But I’m on the mend
Expressing a positive outlook on personal improvement
Well that’s my Mother said
Reference to maternal advice
Somewhere
(Empty line)
The past meets the future
Suggesting a point where the past and future converge
We were riding on the wings of dove
Recollection of a time of innocence and purity
Where is that beauty and laughter
Questioning the loss of beauty and joy
It’s the only place
A utopian place the heart longs for
My heart is dreaming of
Expressing a profound desire for love
The source of love
Recognition of the fundamental source of love
‘Cause we can’t stay inside
Highlighting the inevitability of change
The hollow trees forever
Metaphor for temporary withdrawal from reality
But that’s where you’ll hear your sound
Finding identity and purpose in solitude
When you’re underground
Anticipating discovery and expression in challenging times
And if you’re ready now
Invitation to face the unknown with readiness
Come out
Encouragement to emerge from seclusion or hesitation
