about

This track reflects on the difficulties faced in life and the wisdom shared in Proverbs that reminds us there is nothing that has not been experienced by someone else at some point in human history.

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Time is fleeting indeed but somehow a moment can seem
like its eternal, a dream that teases the senses and reaches
emotions buried so DEEP under the dust they can NOT
be FREED...
When they surface... the Earth cracks and groans
like attacking drones... equipped with BLASTS that
can shatter STONES!
The days tend to blend like rain mixed with WIND,
In vain we pretend and feign ignorance,
in the face of the storm we basically grin,
while inside we grimace and pray for the END.
We play like the fool and ignore evidence,
yet search for the answers just to FORGET.
We demand CHOICE and a VOICE to RESIST,
then scared to commit we still ride the FENCE.
Maybe this suggests how STRANGE life can get.
If were wrong than its only right we admit it.

(Chorus)
Everything seems meaningless. There is nothing
new under the sun.
The sun rises and then it sets. There is nothing
new under the sun.
What has been will be again but there is nothing
new under the sun.
I feel the burden of chasing wind. There is nothing
new under the sun.

(Verse 2)
I recall thoughts that I was so intelligent
wary of my parents who I THOUGHT were irrelevant.
I never looked back, NEVER had a doubt in my
mind of how the path I was on would turn out.
Tossed the map I was given in the trash and laughed
as I skipped past the wisdom they already had,
unaware of the guilt of a father witnessing
his children inheriting the curse of his sins.
Now I’ve tasted the anger and hatred of one
I love, alienated by my oldest son,
and so the cycle repeats until it can be broken,
no relief from my grief, I’m unable to focus,
I carry on, weary, though I try to be strong,
ANXIOUS if this will go on for long,
given a gift but the Lord gives and taketh away,
In the state that I’m in, all I can do is pray.

(Chorus)
Everything seems meaningless. There is nothing new under the sun.
The sun rises and then it sets. There is nothing new under the sun.
What has been will be again but there is nothing new under the sun.
I feel the burden of chasing wind. There is nothing new under the sun.

(Verse 3)
Mountains and valleys, fountains, ravines, we've
SOARED to new HEIGHTS then pulled down by gravity,
REBOUNDED eager to vie for the win, once again,
tried to fly when I should've stayed grounded.
The Earth turns in circles, again and again
analogous for all the generations of men.
Fashioned myself as a teacher, applied my mind
to acheive wisdom like I could idly find
purpose under the heavens, as if a reverend,
but really was silly, naive, and irreverent.
There is nothing new here. New day. New year.
New way? No way. ONE way is CLEAR.
It leads HEAVEN BOUND, Thundering LOUD, like a
trumpet SOUND hovering above all the clouds, coming down down brighter than the other and
we can be made new but ONLY under the SON OF MAN!

(Chorus)
Everything seems meaningless. There is nothing new under the sun.
The sun rises and then it sets. There is nothing new under the sun.
What has been will be again but there is nothing new under the sun.
I feel the burden of chasing wind. There is nothing new under the sun.
