Feel the soulful depths of "Meaningless Blues," an original rhythm & blues Christian track inspired by the Book of Ecclesiastes, lamenting the vanity of life's cycles, toil, and pursuits under the sun. With gritty vocals and bluesy grooves, it echoes the wise man's cry of "everything is meaningless" and "chasing after wind," while pointing to God's gift of joy in simple living and the strength of companionship. Perfect for introspective moments, blues lovers seeking faith, or reflections on finding purpose amid despair.
[Full Lyrics]
[Verse 1]
Meaningless! Meaningless! cries the wise man, oh so low,
Meaningless! Meaningless! Everything is meaningless, don't you know.
Generations come and go, but the earth just rolls on slow,
Sun rise high, sun sink low, always circlin' back, no end in sight, no show.
[Verse 2]
Wind blow north, wind blow south, round and round in pain,
Rivers rush to the sea, but the sea stays just the same.
Eyes never satisfied with seein', ears can't hear enough,
All things full of weariness, and this world seems oh so rough.
[Chorus]
I'm chasin' after wind, slippin' through my fingers wide,
Chasin' after wind, no place to hide.
Everything is meaningless under this old sun,
What profit in the labor when the race ain't never won?
[Verse 3]
I built big houses, planted vineyards row on row,
Drank deep wine, laughed with friends, let the good times flow.
Silver piled high, gold in heaps, singers, lovers by the score,
But when I looked at all I'd done, it left me wantin' more.
Wisdom brought me sorrow, knowledge cut me deep,
Wise man and fool both end in dust—death don't let you keep.
[Verse 4]
I hated all my labor, 'cause I leave it when I go,
Some stranger takes it after me, reaps what I don't know.
Days of sorrow, nights my heart can't find no rest,
But God gives a taste of joy in eatin', drinkin', doin' my best.
Time to be born, time to die, time to weep and time to laugh, Time for war and peace, but it all seems to turn to ash.
[Chorus]
I'm chasin' after wind, slippin' through my hands so cold,
Chasin' after wind, no solid ground to hold.
Everything is meaningless under this weary sun,
Lord, hear my cry in the darkness when the day's work is done.
[Verse 5]
Saw the tears of the oppressed, no comforter in sight,
Power with the mighty, hear the cryin' through the night.
Better the dead than the livin', better yet the one unborn, Who ain't seen the evil done from dusk until the morn.
All this toil from envy, and the fool folds his hands and starves away,
One man works forever and he aint got no one to share his pay.
[Bridge/Outro]
Two are better than one, they lift you up when you fall down,
A Threefold cord ain't easily broken, standin' firm on holy ground.
But still I'm searchin', Lord, in this vapor of a life...
Meaningless blues keep howlin', cut me like a knife.
(Fade)
Everything is meaningless... meaningless... Chasin' after wind... oh, Lord...(it's meaningless)
When will it ever end
