Moving Shadows
Embracing Life's Shadows: A Poetic Reflection on Existence
Lyrics
We are merely moving shadows
We exist as transient and fleeting entities, resembling moving shadows.
Caught up in esoteric haze
We are entangled in a mysterious and obscure confusion.
So busy running after nothing
Our lives are consumed by the pursuit of meaningless endeavors.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Without taking risks, we cannot expect to achieve anything worthwhile.
As we stand here in our silence
In our quiet moments, the unspoken seems to be the most appropriate.
Thinking nothing said is what to say
We contemplate that sometimes silence is the most powerful form of expression.
As it all falls down around us
Our surroundings crumble and disintegrate, bringing chaos.
As it all goes up in flames
Everything we've built or cherished is destroyed and consumed by flames.
Every lifetime is a moment
Each individual lifespan is but a fleeting moment.
Each of us is just a breath
Every person is merely a temporary breath in the vastness of existence.
All we have is each other
Our only true possession is the connection we share with others.
Each other now in death
Even in death, our bond with others is what remains.
Can you hear me?
A plea to be heard, perhaps in the face of overwhelming silence.
Are you listening?
Questioning whether there is receptiveness and understanding.
Can you hear me?
Repeating the desire to be acknowledged and listened to.
Are you listening?
Emphasizing the importance of active and engaged listening.
Can you hear me?
Continuing the plea for connection through attentive listening.
Are you listening?
Reiterating the need for the communication of thoughts and feelings.
Can you hear me?
Persistently seeking acknowledgment and understanding.
Are you listening?
Stressing the significance of being heard and understood.
Every lifetime is a moment
Repeating the idea that each life is a fleeting moment.
Each of us is just a breath
Emphasizing the brevity of individual existence as a mere breath.
All we have is each other
Underlining the importance of the connections we have with others.
Each other now in death
Highlighting the enduring nature of these connections even in death.
Every lifetime is a moment
Reiteration of the transient nature of each lifetime.
And you and I we’re just, we’re just one breath
Affirming the unity between the speaker and the listener as a single breath.
All we have is each other
Reiterating the essence of our ultimate possession – our connection with others.
Each other now in death
Emphasizing the enduring nature of these connections even beyond life.
