We Will Die
Contemplating Mortality: The Human Experience
Lyrics
Once again
Expressing a recurring situation or event.
I am required to rise
Feeling obligated to face a challenge or responsibility.
As I make an effort to enter
Making an effort to enter a situation or phase.
I am disappointed, part relieved
Experiencing a mix of disappointment and relief.
I imagine myself
Engaging in self-reflection, envisioning a version of oneself.
polite and with open arms
Envisioning oneself as courteous and welcoming.
I imagine myself
Repeating the imaginative process with a sense of regret.
Terribly sorry
Expressing remorse or apology.
Having a good time
Desiring to have a good time despite challenges.
I imagine myself
Continuing the imaginative exercise.
(We will die for all the rest of time
Emphasizing a willingness to sacrifice for an extended period.
We will die for all the rest of time)
Repeating the commitment to endure challenges indefinitely.
I could do my best to stay in line
Committing to staying within established boundaries.
And think about the future
Reflecting on the future and considering the best outcomes.
The best I could have asked for
Acknowledging a positive aspect or achievement.
A good friend
Valuing the presence of a good friend.
a working life
Appreciating a functional and productive life.
Everything hurts - I could allow myself forgiveness
Recognizing the pain and granting oneself forgiveness.
Though my attempts have all been useless
Admitting past efforts have been ineffective.
What my urge will provide
Contemplating the consequences of personal desires.
I Imagine myself
Revisiting the imaginative process with uncertainty.
(We will die for all the rest of time
Reiterating a commitment to endure challenges over time.
We will die for all the rest of time)
Repeating the determination to face challenges indefinitely.
I can not begin to describe
Expressing difficulty describing personal problems.
the problems with my body
Acknowledging physical challenges or health issues.
Am I ashamed to be so loyal?
Questioning loyalty and feeling vulnerable.
A good friend
Reaffirming the value of a good friend.
A working life
Appreciating a meaningful and productive life.
I force myself to eat
Forcing oneself to engage in basic self-care.
And keep myself in health
Prioritizing health to avoid failure or decline.
To keep myself from failing
Striving to maintain stability and avoid deterioration.
I imagine myself
Returning to the imaginative process with uncertainty.
Pretending to be
Engaging in a form of self-deception or role-playing.
We will all die
Asserting the inevitability of mortality for everyone.
