Lyrics
People always come and go
People enter and leave, a natural part of life's transience.
Cause we are just dust in the wind
Humans are ephemeral, like dust carried away by the wind.
Rat-racing till we come to the plateau
We engage in a rat race until reaching a plateau, a moment of stability.
No way back, no way to unbind
There's no way to go back or undo our choices.
(Nil desperandum, non omnis morlar)
Latin phrase: "Nil desperandum, non omnis moriar" - Do not despair, I shall not wholly die.
Am I still the captain of the ship?
Questioning if still in control or if never truly was the captain of one's destiny.
Or maybe I... Maybe I never was?
Raising doubt about past authority and understanding.
Yesterday we were on the top of the world
Reflecting on a time of success and confidence.
We thought we knew the way, today we are lost
Realizing a loss of direction and confusion in the present.
Humanity's just a blink, just a plague, one of a kind
Commenting on the brevity and destructive nature of human existence.
We spread our own and we'll get ourselves quarantined
Humans reproduce their own problems and face consequences.
Maybe I could do something more
Contemplating the possibility of personal change or action.
Maybe I could change my road
Considering an alternate path or lifestyle.
Maybe I could forgive my fate
Thinking about forgiveness or acceptance of destiny.
Or maybe I'm just a puppet in a theater play
Questioning whether personal agency is genuine or predetermined.
I've lost myself in me
Expressing a sense of personal loss or confusion.
The passenger
Describing oneself as a passenger in life, implying a lack of control.
Train is heading on and on
Metaphorically portraying life as an ongoing journey on a train.
Death's a station
Death is presented as a station, an inevitable destination.
Emergency exits tempt
Emergency exits suggest alternatives, but they are tempting yet passive choices.
But that's just a resign
Considering these alternatives as a form of resignation or acceptance.
Will we ever know
Pondering if humanity will ever discover the ultimate fate or purpose.
What lies on the end of the line?
Questioning the unknown future and what lies at the end of life's journey.
