[Spoken-Sung] 行く川の流れは絶えずして、 しかも、もとの水にあらず 淀みに浮かぶうたかたは、 かつ消え、かつ結びて、 久しくとどまりたるためしなし －鴨長明「方丈記」よりー [Intro] [Verse 1] The river keeps flowing, never still Yet no drop of water is ever the same Bubbles rise to the surface And vanish before they can stay [Pre-Chorus 1] Nothing holds its shape forever Time moves on, whether we wish it or not Through joy, through sorrow There is no going back [Chorus] Is this world just a place we pass through? Is impermanence the only truth we have? Are we nothing but foam on the water? Then why are we here — right now? [Interlude] [Verse 2] How long will this happiness last? How long will I be here at all? Nobody knows the answer So I want to hold this moment close [Pre-Chorus 2] Nothing holds its shape forever Holding on too tight only brings pain Let it be, let it go Like a wildflower that blooms and fades [Chorus] Is this world just a place we pass through? Is impermanence the only truth we have? Are we nothing but foam on the water? Then why are we here — right now? [Instrumental Break] (Philosophical, introspective, cool and sophisticated) (Groove-based fusion feel, upbeat 120-130 BPM) [Electric Piano — Rhodes style, melodic improvisational runs, jazz fusion chord voicings, expressive comping] [Electric Guitar — melodic and lyrical, fast but tasteful, harmonized runs, legato phrases, blues-influenced bends, dotted eighth delay for fusion texture] [Guitar and Electric Piano trading phrases, call and response, interweaving melodies] [Techniques: legato runs, sweep arpeggios (melodic), wide vibrato, subtle whammy expression] [Backed by tight funk-fusion rhythm section, syncopated bass, crisp drums with ghost notes] [Bridge] If we could truly make peace with this world's impermanence Would we find Nirvana on the other side? Would we find the stillness we've been looking for? Is that what it means to be alive? [Final Chorus] Perhaps everything we go through in this fleeting world Is what shapes the soul and makes it grow Perhaps that is what life is for Perhaps that is where peace of mind begins [Outro] We keep on walking There is no going back ----- Lyrics by Dreamin' Rabbit ❤🐇 with assistance from Claude🍀 ------------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics Copyright (c) 2026 Dreamin’ Rabbit All rights reserved.
