It is reassuring because its lyrics gently yet surely urges the listener to realise that everything changes, which is the truth of mind and matter being impermanent, while the way it is sung encourages us to make peace with this reality. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The chorus is a poetic modern &#8216;mantra&#8217; about change&#8230; &#8216;Ah Ah Ah&#8230; and everything will flow&#8217; &#8211; a more flowing version of &#8216;This too, will pass.&#8217;<\/span> Everything will flow. Even this song itself has flowed on, forgotten by many. The only part of the lyrics I disagree with is that &#8216;life if just a lullaby&#8217;, in which we &#8216;sleep away and dream a dream&#8217;. It&#8217;s really the opposite &#8211; life shouldn&#8217;t be slept away or spent dreaming; life is an opportunity to awaken from the dream of Samsara.<\/p>\n<p>[ad#suede1]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch the early morning sun Drip like blood from the day See the crazy people run So many games to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[271],"tags":[47],"class_list":["post-4291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music","tag-anicca","wpcat-271-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4291\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
