Chasing Time
Chasing Time: Seeking Purpose Beyond Illusions
Lyrics
I'm trying out the things I hate
I am engaging in activities I dislike.
I'm going to a brand new place
I am heading to a new and unfamiliar destination.
That waits for me just past over the hill
There's a future waiting for me just beyond the challenges.
Spent countless moments faking smiles
I've spent a lot of time pretending to be happy.
for clothes now gone out of style
I've made efforts for things that are no longer in fashion.
and I'm late on my payments to the old father time
I am behind in meeting my obligations to time.
Whose right the jester or the clown
Reflecting on the conflict between wisdom and foolishness.
It doesn't matter when the axe comes down
It doesn't matter who is right when facing unavoidable consequences.
The guillotine sadly spares no remorse
The guillotine, a metaphor for harsh judgment, shows no mercy.
If it's a fool to chase a smile
If it's foolish to seek happiness, I'll still pursue it.
I'll be running for a while
I'll continue running despite challenges.
I'll be on my knees for the old captain's dime
I'll be humble and submit for the sake of tradition or authority.
Been begging for a brand new slate
I've been asking for a fresh start or clean slate.
And all I gets "For heaven's sake"
Responses received suggest frustration or disbelief.
Why even bother? You're just wasting your breath
Questioning the point of efforts that seem futile.
The strengths been had the race was won
Acknowledging that someone else has already achieved success.
But now the dramas just begun
Despite success, new challenges or conflicts have emerged.
Who am I to explain this grave misunderstanding?
Expressing uncertainty about explaining a significant misunderstanding.
Keep chasing time till it gives you what you need
Encouraging the pursuit of time until obtaining what is necessary.
Keep chasing time till it gives you what you need
Reiterating the need to persist in chasing time for fulfillment.
Keep chasing time till it gives you what you need
Emphasizing the continuous pursuit of time for essential needs.
Keep chasing time till it gives you what you need
Continuing the message of persistently chasing time for fulfillment.
