Transitory Lyrics
Life: at its best, you are doing fine
But you're blind, it's china you hold
As it breaks, suddenly it's clear:
Beautiful but transitory
But we won't break easy
We won't give in to all unbearable pain
We'll pull through, we won't crack
We'll endure and survive
<i>Oh, transitory
Pain is as life itself
Evanescent as it fades
Transitory!</i>
Life: all you've got, all was swept away
Now you see what there is to miss
Suddenly you're stronger than you thought
As you know it's transitory
'Cause we won't break
Survival is all we've got and our unbearable grief
We'll hold on and won't crack
And we'll value all life
<i>Oh, transitory
Pain is as life itself
Evanescent as it fades</i>
But you're blind, it's china you hold
As it breaks, suddenly it's clear:
Beautiful but transitory
We won't give in to all unbearable pain
We'll pull through, we won't crack
We'll endure and survive
Pain is as life itself
Evanescent as it fades
Transitory!</i>
Now you see what there is to miss
Suddenly you're stronger than you thought
As you know it's transitory
Survival is all we've got and our unbearable grief
We'll hold on and won't crack
And we'll value all life
Pain is as life itself
Evanescent as it fades</i>

everything we may have will at one point disappear such as life itself and our earthly possessions.
As painful as life can be sometimes, it's worth it to hold on since it's all temporary.
It compairs life to a china, it's beautiful, but it can easily crack and then it's gone. Although the song seems negative, I find it to be encouraging. You SHOULD live life, because it won't last forever!
"Life: all you've got, all was swept away Now you see what there is to miss Suddenly you're stronger than you thought As you know it's transitory"
Basically, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. When you let go of everything that's hindering you, you can make progress.
