SYNE WAVE LYRICS
FUNCTION OVER FORM
Magical dreams and shiny things
Trophies of triumphs for all to see
Pictures and statues pleasing the eye
Reflecting upon how they came to be
Standing in line, waiting a turn
Clicking a picture, watching the door
Bartering shrewdly, the ultimate deal
Making our lives, better than before
Filling spaces with trivial things
Once upon needed, now discarded debris
Belongings that held, a life of new meaning
Now clutter up lives, not setting them free
Fill the void and vacant spaces, try to feel complete inside
Justified to bear the daily grind
A token sparks a fading memory, people and places from past lives
What once was needed, again, is left behind
Images of scenes from faraway lands
An autographed book from a writer we love
Vintage relics being found by chance
Discarded from some lost treasure trove
Building collections, of many things
Not having meaning, in present life
Later it seems, the moments are brief
Pulled into action by the same old lies
Do you remember...
