Born
Embracing Life's Journey: Windup Space's Anthem of Discovery
Lyrics
When we were young we used to run for miles
Reflecting on the carefree days of youth, symbolized by running long distances.
Endless journeys under endless skies
Recalling endless journeys and adventures beneath vast skies.
We'd be going for days on end
Describing the joy of continuous travel for extended periods.
In celebration of our working legs
Celebrating the physical ability to walk and move freely.
However hard the wind blew
Expressing determination and resilience in the face of challenges.
There's really nothing that we wouldn't do
Emphasizing a willingness to overcome any obstacle for a goal.
To set our eyes on what we never knew
Aiming to explore the unknown and discover new experiences.
To know the rest of the story
Seeking to understand the complete narrative of life.
Oh, it's good to be born
Celebrating the positive aspects of existence and the experience of being alive.
Just tell me it's okay
Requesting reassurance that one's choices and actions are acceptable.
To move at my own pace
Desiring the freedom to progress at an individual pace.
Oh, it's good to be born
Reiterating the joy of being alive and experiencing life.
To see what's to come
Expressing anticipation for the future and what it holds.
The sound of footsteps chasing me down
Portraying the metaphorical pursuit of goals with obstacles in pursuit.
Thought I'd be further along by now
Reflecting on the feeling of not achieving expected milestones.
Been on the roam since the day I left home
Describing a continuous journey away from home.
To destinations I will never know
Acknowledging the uncertainty of future destinations.
Keeping time, not keeping faith
Balancing the passage of time with a sense of skepticism or doubt.
Keeping score without playing the game
Emphasizing keeping track of progress without active participation.
Like a movie without a name
Comparing life to a nameless movie with undefined purpose.
Bruises magnified and on display
Describing visible emotional or physical scars on display.
I sometimes wish for the days
Expressing a desire for simpler times and shorter challenges.
To last for twenty-four minutes instead
Fantasizing about time passing quickly, allowing for peaceful moments.
I'd just watch the sun set
Imagining enjoying the beauty of a sunset without the complexities of life.
Skip to the end of the story
Yearning to skip to the resolution or conclusion of life's journey.
Oh, I'm tired and worn
Expressing weariness and fatigue from life's challenges.
Would you tell me it's okay
Seeking validation and assurance that it's acceptable to proceed at one's own pace.
To move at my own pace
Reiterating the appreciation for the freedom to move at an individual pace.
Oh, it's good to be born…
Repeating the celebration of the positive aspects of existence.
Tell me
Prompting a question about the emotional state of the listener.
Are you feeling unhappy
Inquiring about the listener's feelings and emotional well-being.
Have you still got a long way
Asking if there is still a long journey ahead for the listener.
To go on your own
Encouraging trust in the shared experience of facing loneliness and challenges.
Trust me
Asserting that feeling lonely is a common and human experience.
We're all scared to be lonely
Reassuring that there is no shame in acknowledging vulnerability.
And really there's no shame
Acknowledging the universality of feeling scared or lonely.
In feeling this way
Emphasizing that experiencing such emotions is a natural part of life.
Oh, it's good to be born
Reiterating the positive aspects of being alive and celebrating one's existence.
Just know that it's okay
Encouraging self-acceptance and the freedom to progress at an individual pace.
To move at your own pace
Repeating the message that it's acceptable to move at one's own pace.
Oh, it's good to be born
Expressing the joy and positivity of being alive and experiencing life.
To see what's to come
Reiterating the anticipation for the future and what it may bring.
