Vacation from Eternity
Rasmus Nertlinge
Lyrics:
[intro]
Tick, Tock
The chemistry aligns
Tick, Tock
Blurring the lines
Oh yeah,
Blurring the lines
Between body and soul,
The fragmentation of Totality
Makes an interesting Whole
[Verse 1]
We stand so tall
On solid ground,
We’ve made our mark
All around,
We continue to build
While the hourglass
Continues to fill
It’s a trick of light
a clever ruse,
Nothing we claim
is ours to lose,
The tempo is shifting
in my chest,
I’ve embraced the rhythm
Of effort and rest
[Chorus]
You, Me
Everyone we see
is ash to be,
Fleeting moments
of biological poetry,
Animated earth
Changing winds,
With every birth
Another ending begins
[Verse 2]
The double helix, spirals in me
A DNA blueprint
Risen from the sea,
It’s masterful, this delicate art
The complex mechanics
Refreshing my heart
Motivated by pleasure and pain
Comfort and discomfort
Evolving the game
[Chorus]
You, Me
Everyone we see
is ash to be,
Fleeting moments
of biological poetry,
Animated earth
Changing winds,
With every birth
Another ending begins
[Bridge]
The rarity of humanity
is what makes it sweet,
The reality of duality
Lets us meet,
In this moment, in this place
Where there is little matter
And much space
[instrumental break]
[Chorus]
You, Me
Everyone we see
is ash to be,
Fleeting moments
of biological poetry,
Animated earth
Changing winds,
With every birth
Another ending begins
[Outro]
The flavor of mortality
Vacation from eternity
Ash to be
Ash to be
