How Futile It Seems to Sow
Paragon of Beauty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It is fragile every day
A useless delay
This moment
Same sleep
Will you never understand what I miss

How futile it seems to sow
I am looking for nothing and all
My fleeting hope
Your fading heart
When we will cast our final spark

On tiptoe I moved off to the
All-knowing cranes
They said we were only a
Brief yearning for
Something far too bright

"A reflecting image of paper
Is still more than a directionless fool
Within a celestial scenery




So our deeds are never as hopeless
As we may think sometimes."

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Paragon of Beauty's song "How Futile It Seems to Sow" seem to be expressing feelings of hopelessness and despair. The opening lines "It is fragile every day, a useless delay, this moment, same sleep" suggest a feeling of monotony and pointlessness. The repetition of "same sleep" could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling stuck in a rut, going through the same motions day after day.


The line "Will you never understand what I miss" implies a sense of longing and loneliness, as if the singer is reaching out for someone to understand them. The chorus of the song, "How futile it seems to sow, I am looking for nothing and all, my fleeting hope, your fading heart, when we will cast our final spark," further reinforces the theme of hopelessness and the ultimate futility of striving for something that may never come.


The next verse introduces the symbol of cranes, which are often seen as symbols of hope and longevity. However, the cranes in this song instead seem to offer a sense of disillusionment, telling the singer that they were only a "brief yearning for something far too bright." This could suggest that the hope and longing that the singer feels is ultimately unrealistic and unattainable.


The final lines of the song offer a glimmer of hope amidst the despair, suggesting that even small actions can have a positive impact, and that our deeds are never truly hopeless. Overall, the lyrics to "How Futile It Seems to Sow" offer a poignant exploration of the struggles of living a life that feels empty and unfulfilling.

An image on paper that


Is still more than a directionless fool
