Rushing in and out,
And in and out of my mind
We live and obey with some kind of hate.
Dreading the time to come when we've got no, no time at all.

I wanna take the time to stop
And think about doing this
And what it might mean to be.
When I close my eyes, there's nothing but darkness revealed,
It’s right there in front of me.
Looking forward for a taste of things to come,
I can't see familiar faces on anyone.
Life is trying to pass me by,
But not this time.
I am not afraid.

You're not getting older, you're just getting old.
And your finish wears thin as your stories get told.
Yet you've somehow impressed her, she's already sold.
The one page in your book that's still shining in gold says:

"Wishing for the years to flash by has left me blind.
Waiting for the few fleeting moments where the world makes sense to me."

I wanna take the time to stop
And think about doing this
And what it might mean to be.
When I close my eyes, there's nothing but darkness revealed,
It’s right there in front of me.
Looking forward for a taste of things to come,
I can't see familiar faces on anyone.
Life is trying to pass me by,
But not this time.
I am not afraid.
I am not afraid.

The search continues for a taste of things to come,
I can't see familiar faces on anyone.
Life is trying its best to pass by,
But not this time.
I am not afraid.
I am not afraid.

    Doesn't this sound like a song After the Burial would compose?

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
