Paroles de 'Eternity' par Dax

When you really examine the concept of eternity
One will find that there is no end
Life after death is a concept
Humans still don't understand

How long is eternity?
I don't understand
Some say forever, but if it's forever
Then when does it come to an end?
It's more than a concept
And infinite time that we spend
It confirms that our lives here on earth
Are a blip of existence and don't make a dent
As we get older, it creeps in our mind
The thought of the end and beginning of time
The life that we thought that we lived
Doesn't matter
Approachin' the thought
That someday we all die
I get confused when I look in the sky
What is this water hitting my eyes?
Maybe the rain is the pain and shame
That hits earth when God cries
As we get older
We don't care what we did
It's not the things we receive
But the things we give
We try to go back to the time we were kids
But those shoes no longer fit
And then we finally realize that everyone dies
But not everyone lives

So I'm takin' a chance
I'm livin' my life in the moment
And not in the future that's not in my hands
I'm givin' my time to the people who love me
For everything that I am
I'm livin' my life in reality, not for a post
That they'll tap when they open the 'gram
I'm doing whatever it takes
I'm not gonna dwell on my past mistakes
I'm bridgin' the gap between my dreams
And what I see while I'm awake
They say leave it up to fate
Well, fate favors those who take
Cause if eternity's forever
And all this is temporary, why wait?

Humanity's lost
We obsess the price of material things
But at what cost?
Then treat time like currency
And spend it for applause
Because we think that life is just a game
We can turn on and off
We build, we break, renew, replace
We nine-to-five and count the days
For forty years till sixty-five
Then live off what our pension pays
We fall in line as mental slaves
Our bodies work, our minds are caged
And that's why people say
The richest place you'll find is at the graves
Full of hopes and dreams
That people never chased
Full of feelings that we felt
But never got to say
All the thoughts inside our heads
That we kept stored and locked away
As our age increased and we got old
And everything decayed
And when we finally realize
That our whole life was not a game
And that time was a commodity
That we could not regain
And that we were in control
And there was no one else to blame
Is the day that we change

It's eternity, no end (no end)
Eternity, no end (no end)
It's eternity, no end
Eternity, no end (no end)
It's eternity, no end (no end)
It's eternity, no end (no end)
It's eternity, no end
Eternity, no end

What are you doing with your time?
What is your definition of happiness?
Are you giving more than you're taking?
And finally
If it were to all end right now
What are you holding on to
That you need to let the world see?
