The Point
Embracing Redemption: The Mystical Dance of Life in Valleyheart's 'The Point'
Lyrics
There's a terrible notion that we are what we done
There's a troubling idea that our identity is defined by our past actions.
Don't sell me it's true that forgiveness is gone.
Rejecting the notion that forgiveness is no longer possible.
Because at the heart of redemption there's no saint to be found
Redemption lacks traditional saints, only the flawed and sacred share in its essence.
Just the fucked up and holy, sharing the sound.
Highlighting the coexistence of imperfection and holiness in the world, expressed through shared experiences.
Now there's a man on the sidewalk with some cardboard that reads:
A man on the street challenges existential questions about the afterlife.
If you died here right now where would your soul sleep?
Questioning where one's soul would reside in the event of sudden death.
But I think I'm done with the question, it's kept me up so many nights
Fatigued by existential questioning, opting for a walk among nature.
Bound to go for a walk, feel the trees
Choosing to connect with nature and find solace among the trees.
Outside of every formable view
Suggesting that beyond every recognizable perspective, there exists an alternate version of oneself.
There's an all inverted version of you.
Imagining an inverted version of the self on the fringes of historical significance.
Swinging on the outskirts of history
Describing an unconventional dance on the periphery of historical events in spacetime.
In a spacetime dance.
Portraying life as a dance in the vastness of spacetime.
And with a universe inside every iris,
Highlighting the complexity within every individual's perspective.
There's no saying what we find is a sure bet now.
Emphasizing the uncertainty of finding absolute truths.
So I'm breaking through the pains of the romance,
Breaking free from the pain associated with romantic ideals.
For a toss up coin.
Opting for unpredictability, symbolized by a toss-up coin.
Letting go of the point.
Choosing to let go of the central focus or significance (the point).
Go and fight for the feeling but we're wasting our time.
Acknowledging the futility of pursuing certain emotions or experiences.
On highway Valeros, friends by the fire.
Referencing a location and communal warmth, questioning the value of shared experiences.
Because there's nothing we carry when these bodies decay
Asserting that nothing is carried beyond physical decay, emphasizing uncertainty.
Just your guess, good as mine, and some truths that we
Uncertainty prevails, with guesses and personal truths being as valid as any.
Face inside some pervious light
Confronting inner struggles illuminated by ambiguous light.
When it's never so black and white.
Rejecting a simplistic, black-and-white view of life's complexities.
So I'm learning how to live in the mystery
Adopting a life philosophy focused on living within the mystery of existence.
A peace in the choice.
Finding peace in the acceptance of choices made, emphasizing letting go of fixation.
Letting go of the point.
Reiterating the theme of releasing attachment to a specific focal point or meaning.
