Castles on the Beach

[Verse]

There's an analogy that kinda came to mind

It's like building sand castles on the beach

There's like this ebb and flow in our lives

Not just with our craft, but whatever it is that we're passionate about

But just everything in our lives

You're tryin' to build some idea

But the tide comes in inevitably, knocks it down

The first time that you build something you're really proud of

And it gets knocked down, it's like soul-crushing, you know?

Um, some people rush out, they like run away from the waves

And thеy never come back, you know?

And thеn you also see people who see the waves comin' in

And they're just havin' fun, splashing around in the water

They're— They're immersing themselves in that moment too

Like that's actually kinda like the beauty in the cyclical nature of our lives

Is that you can start over

It's expected, actually

From a certain perspective

If you accept that nothing's permanent, you know?

Including who you are
