Nothing Lasts Forever
Ephemeral Echoes: Embracing Life's Transience
Lyrics
Deep inside the eyes of the innocent child
Deeply observing the innocence in a child's eyes
I witness the fire of life burning bright
Noticing the intense vitality and passion for life
And suddenly everything's seeming to be said and done
Realizing that everything appears to be completed or finalized
...to be as one
An implication of unity or togetherness
Without any word it is speaking to me
A non-verbal communication that is meaningful
I've followed the blind and have unlearned to see
Having followed others blindly and lost the ability to see clearly
I'm rising from slumber, recalling the dreams I forgot
Awakening from a state of unawareness, remembering forgotten dreams
I wake up
Becoming alert or conscious
Nothing lasts forever
Expressing the transient nature of all things
It all will be gone
Highlighting the inevitability of eventual disappearance or conclusion
Could you still remember
Asking if one can recall the beginning of their life
When your life began
Suggesting the importance of remembering one's origins
Cherish the moment
Encouraging appreciation of the present moment
Without a regret
Advising to live without feeling remorse or sorrow
Nothing lasts forever
Reiterating the impermanence of everything
It's never too late
Implying that it's never too late to acknowledge impermanence
The beard of the old man, all soaked with his tears
Describing an elderly person's beard wet with tears
Each single one falling for one of his years
Each tear representing a year of experiences
Of running the races, in quest of a place, still unknown
Reflecting on a life spent seeking a place or purpose yet to be found, a concept of home
It's called home
Naming this quest for purpose or belonging as 'home'
