| Insomnium – Ephemeral Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Ephemeral isn't a word many know (including myself, before I looked it up). The definition is something that lasts a very short time. Pertaining to this song, life itself is being referred to. This is actually a surprisingly motivational song. In regards to the chorus: "Dying doesn't make this world dead to us": Inevitable future death doesn't mean this world should be dead to you. Don't focus on the eventual end, focus on the journey. "Breathing doesn't keep the flame alive in us": your dreams aren't just going to be handed to you on a platter. Seek them out. Kindle your flame. "Dreaming doesn't make time less real for us": Time is an inevitability. It's real. It's ticking. And it's short. Dreaming about your goals won't change this. "One life, one change, ephemeral": You only get one life, one chance. Life is very ephemeral--very short. So take advantage of the time you have. |
