All those people, all those lives
Where are they now?
With loves, and hates
And passions just like mine
They were born
And then they lived
And then they died
It seems so unfair
I want to cry
A reference to The Man Who Came To Dinner. A powerful and universal idea that can be found in important texts. For example, this theme resonates highly with the "Alas, poor Yorrick, I knew him" speech in Shakespeares Hamlet. Where Hamlet contemplates his own mortality.
"Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know
not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your
gambols? your songs?"
It's a wonderful thing when the pain of human experience is affirmed in songs and plays you love.
