I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita
Vishnu was trying to persuade the prince that, he should do his duty
And, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form, and says
“Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds”
Oh, how can this be? I finally found peace
Just how long ’til she strip for me?
So come on, baby, in time we’ll all freeze
Ain’t no stoppin’ that entropy
Am I just a dog whose found me a bone
Or perhaps have I found a home?
Been sniffin’ around all over the town
I just can’t stop settlin’ down
His eye’s on the sparrow, eyes is on me
More eyes than the KGB
Sometimes I suffer, sometimes I bleed
Not all at once, time flows linearly
Only forwards, never backwards
Seek the darkness, seek the laughter
Raise my jersey to the rafters
Let moths consume me in the light
Oh, how can this be? I finally found peace
Just how long ’til she strip for me?
So come on, baby, in time we’ll all freeze
Ain’t no stoppin’ that entropy
So maybe my ego’s out of control
Can that be avoided? I don’t know?
I hated myself when I was a boy
Now that I don’t, they tryna take my joy
His eye’s on the sparrow, eyes is on me (Eye’s on the sparrow)
More eyes than the KGB (KGB)
Sometimes I suffer, sometimes I bleed (Sometimes)
Not all at once, time flows linearly (Flows)
Only forwards, never backwards (Backwards)
Seek the darkness, seek the laughter (Laughter)
Raise my jersey to the rafters
Let moths consume me in the light
Oh, how can this be? I finally found peace
Just how long ’til she strip for me?
So come on, baby, in time alone, freeze
Ain’t no stoppin’ that entropy
Drifting towards the deep freeze
Thermodynamics, there’s no escape
The good Lord he gives, the Lord he takes
No life without energy
Drifting towards the deep freeze
Thermodynamics, there’s no escape
The good Lord he gives, the Lord he takes
No life without energy
Drifting towards the deep freeze
Exploring the Inevitable: A Deep Dive into “ENTROPY”
“ENTROPY” by Caesar and Daniel opens with a profound reference to the Bhagavad-Gita, immediately setting a philosophical tone. The song delves into the concept of inevitable change and decay, drawing parallels between personal struggles and the universal laws of thermodynamics. The lyrics reflect an internal battle—seeking peace, grappling with ego, and confronting the unstoppable advance of entropy. The recurring motif of time’s linear flow and the impossibility of reversing it deepens the existential undertones, while lines about watching eyes evoke themes of scrutiny and vulnerability. The chorus, with its resignation to entropy, encapsulates the song’s central message: despite fleeting moments of joy or peace, everything is subject to the relentless passage of time and the laws of nature.
