There’s a troubled soul who wants peace in the world at any cost

The tailwinds they blow, across fast and slow

There is no place to rest anymore

The aching-breaking shores

The dancing vine divine

The edges of the sky

Are never forever more

The pendulum swings like empty things

Beneath our feet a corpse lies underneath the stars

Dreams another dream

Explanation: In the quest for peace at any cost, a troubled soul navigates a world where external forces, depicted as ever-shifting tailwinds, affect all aspects of life. This individual finds no respite, encountering both beauty and fragility on aching-breaking shores and divine dancing vines. The impermanence of tranquility is acknowledged as even the edges of the sky prove transient. Life’s constant oscillation is likened to empty movements, and underlying troubles are symbolized by a hidden corpse beneath the stars. Yet, the dreamer persists, continually dreaming of a better future, amidst the complexities of this restless world.
