Among Equals

Among Equals

Verse

I still want more than yesterday,
I still reach for something new.
Not because the fire is fading,
but because I've outgrown the room.

The dancer lost among the dancers,
the singer in a choir of gold,
the painter hanging with the masters—
seen by many, known by none.

Chorus

Who sees a star
in a sky of stars?
Who hears one voice
when everyone sings?

The closer I get
to where I belong,
the more I disappear.

Verse 2

Maybe I have not grown smaller,
maybe my world has grown too tight.
Maybe every road I've traveled
was only meant for this one night.

Bridge

So I'll leave the maps behind me,
leave the names that made me known.
What is dying isn't longing—
it's the place I've called my home.

Chorus

Who sees a star
in a sky of stars?
Who hears one voice
when everyone sings?

If I must vanish
to become myself,

Time to walk toward another world.

Basisidee voor dit nieuw songproject...
This
A journey from recognition to identity,
from identity to aging,
from aging to spirituality,
and finally toward death—not as defeat,
but as the last form of liberation.

The following ideas formed the foundation for this song's lyrics:

The visible layer: recognition
The deeper layer: identity
The reality: aging
The search: spirituality
The final release: transcendence through death
