Everywhere
Supreme Beings Of Leisure Lyrics

The lyrics of Supreme Beings of Leisure's song, Everywhere, contain a message of love and connection beyond the boundaries of space and time. The song appears to be an ode to a loved one who has passed on from this world, but whose memory and spirit continue to inspire the singer's life. The first verse describes the sensation of seeing one's reflection and expecting to hear a loved one's voice. This sentiment is a metaphor for the way memories of the departed remain part of our being, just like a reflection in the mirror. The paper reminders that float like leaves embody the ephemeral nature of life, and yet the memory of the loved one remains deeply rooted and persistent within the singer's soul. The phrase "dust to dust but you remain," is a reference to the phrase used during Christian funerals which implies that though we may return to dust, our souls (or the memory of us) lives on. The singer's reminiscing creates a feeling of reverie, a nostalgic state in which the past becomes vibrantly alive.

The second verse changes the focus to a new relationship. The singer describes holding someone tightly with the hands of their deceased loved one, signifying that the memory of the departed endures and informs his or her present actions. The reference to "a downy crib and dreams of what could be" might be referencing a newborn baby, and suggests that the new relationship is one imbued with hope and potential, just like a new life. The phrase "each step of the dance" has a profound connotation; the "dance" symbolizes the music of life, a metaphor that implies that both birth and death are merely steps in the dance of life, which ultimately perpetuates.
