Everything That Happens
David Byrne - Brian Eno Lyrics

I ride on a perfect freeway
I am traveling on a well-constructed road without any bumps or obstacles.

Many people on that road
There are numerous individuals also present on the same road I am on.

I heard the sound of someone laughing
I perceived an individual audibly expressing amusement.

I saw my neighbor's car explode
I visually witnessed the automobile of my neighbouring individual bursting apart.

Just up ahead / Against the sky / Quicker than you blink your eye
Something, located ahead of my current location and visible against the background sky, is moving at an incredibly rapid speed.

Oh my brother, I still wonder, are you alright?
I am concerned about the welfare of my sibling and ponder on their wellbeing.

And among the living, we are giving, all through the night
During the entire duration of the hours of darkness, individuals who are presently alive are providing assistance to others.

From the milk of human kindness
We obtain generous qualities from the goodwill and decency of the members of humanity.

From the breast we all partake
We all benefit by drinking from the same source of compassion and empathy.

Hungry for a social contract
We ardently crave an agreement or arrangement that benefits everyone in society equally.

She welcomes you with dark embrace
Despite the frightful appearance of the act of welcoming, it is actually inviting and kindhearted.

(Puts) socks and shoes / Upon our feet / Little fishes swim upstream
Upon placing our footwear on our lower limbs, small aquatic creatures swim in the opposite direction to the water's natural flow.

In the deepest silence, gold and diamonds, all through the night
During the most profound quietness of the evening, precious metals and jewels are still present and shine luminously.

Everything that happens will happen today
All occurrences and events will occur within the twenty-four-hour duration of the present day.

And nothing has changed, but nothing's the same
Although nothing has altered in appearance or behavior, there is a sense of uncertainty and transformation.

And every tomorrow could be yesterday
Any upcoming day can feel identical to the retrospective day that has already passed.

And everything that happens will happen today
Once again, every single happening and event will occur within the present day's duration.
