A1. Ode Filipica - The Finishing Line (feat. Andrew King)
lyrics
If life is a ride,
I want to be the last one to cross the finishing line...
What do we know about us?
We know less than we think we know.
Unless we think we know nothing more than...
Nothing!
We've been traveling for a long time
trying to get answers,
to find a way to get there...
There, where at last, probably,
we will be reborn again,
as another animal,
as another species,
as another part of the chain,
as another thing,
or (why not?) as another nothing...
Are we searching for shelter?
Are we running from the shadows?
Are we facing our fears?
Or are we denying reality?
And so we go off,
further and further in our path,
delivering and collecting emotions,
feelings,
doubts,
diving in several concrete seas,
deeper and deeper,
in a strange method of faith,
of blind innocuous belief,
darker and darker,
blinder and blinder,
in right and wrong directions,
left and right,
up and down,
forwards and backwards and backwards and forwards,
again and again,
once again,
even again,
all along,
as time goes by as an infinite working clock,
tic-tock,
tic-tock,
getting older and older,
until we can't stand on our feet anymore...
And then we lie down in our bed,
closing our eyes,
taking another pill to ease the pain…
If life is a ride,
I want to be the last one
to cross
the finishing line...
If life is a ride,
I want to be the last one
to cross
the finishing line...
There are no such certainties in life but death.
Is that really the end?
Is it the finishing line
that we have always been avoiding?
We are nothing
but what we are!
We are nothing
but what we are!
