Castles On The Beach

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

It's 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 they never come back, you know?
And then 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
