Midas Shadow
Chasing Midas' Elusive Shadow: A Tale of Fortune and Restless Pursuits
Lyrics
You've got your ticket and your hotel keys
You have the necessary items for a journey (ticket and hotel keys).
And your overnight bag at your feet
Your bag is ready for an overnight stay.
YOu're looking down on the tropical trees
You observe tropical trees from an elevated perspective.
While the Spanish maids pick up the sheets
Spanish maids are cleaning up after you in a hotel.
Conquistador in search of gold
You are like a conquistador seeking wealth.
For all the jack-daw reasons
Your motives are like a jackdaw, seemingly trivial or nonsensical.
The Midas shadow that's so hard to please
The elusive and demanding nature of success is your shadow (Midas shadow).
Follows wherever you go
This shadow accompanies you wherever you go.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained they said
Risks are necessary for gains, according to conventional wisdom.
So you played for the winner takes all
You engage in activities where the winner takes all.
And tossed the dice high up and craned your head
You take chances, hoping for favorable outcomes.
To see how the numbers would fall
You eagerly await the results, watching the outcome.
You stole the game so easily
You effortlessly succeed in the game.
Your luck ran with the seasons
Your success is influenced by luck that aligns with the seasons.
But still the shadow that the night won't free just
A persistent shadow, representing challenges, continues into the night.
Follows wherever you go
This shadow continues to follow you wherever you go.
Another day, another boarding card,
Each day brings new journeys, symbolized by a boarding card.
As you wait for your seat on the 'plane
You are waiting for your seat on a plane, still immersed in work.
The movie runs but you're still working hard
You are occupied with work, ignoring basic needs like food or champagne.
And you don't touch your food or champagne
Your dedication is evident even during leisure or entertainment.
I know that when your well runs dry
Anticipating a time of difficulty or challenge.
YOu'll want to know the reason
You will seek reasons when faced with challenges.
The empty night will bring you no reply
In difficult times, answers may be elusive or non-existent.
As it follows wherever you go.
The persistent shadow continues to follow you in empty or challenging moments.
