Story Behind The Song
the music was inspired by philosophical lyrics I had written months before, during a reflective moment. The song wants to express the sobriety of accepting life and death in an uplifting and serene way.
Song Description
The song has an electronic, contemporary, hip pop and jazz feel and laid back groove with a peaceful mood.
Inspired by meditation about the matrix of life, it's brevity.

Lyrics
TEMPORARY
Everything is temporary
and when the calling comes
we look for paradise,
We look back for comfort
to what we've done
and what we leave behind
Nothing lasts forever
ooh! Nothing lasts forever
we're here just killing time
looking for a diversion, an illusion
afraid to say goodbye
Is it true we live to die and die to live,
And nobody really knows why we are here?
The only thing that drives us on is survival
Deep inside we know we are just animals
Everything is temporary
And when the morning comes
we look for compensation
Don't look back in anger
to the things that you deserve and what you never had
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
we are here just killing time
looking for a diversion, an illusion
afraid to say goodbye
