When We Believed
Journey Through Memory: When Dreams Faded
Lyrics
I recall poppies by the road
I remember seeing poppies alongside the road.
Vivid color, burning in my mind
The vibrant colors of the poppies are etched in my memory.
And I think of who I was then
I reflect on my past self.
Who I am now
Contemplating who I have become.
Who am I now, that I was then?
Questioning my identity in the present compared to the past.
All the days inside these walls
Days spent within confined spaces.
Licking the wounds of limbs we lost
Reflecting on the injuries and losses we endured.
When we believed we could have it all
Nostalgia for a time when we believed we could achieve everything.
Driving East, windows rolled down
Traveling towards the East, with windows open.
Off to some small town, we could be anywhere
Heading to small towns, the destination being uncertain.
If you told me where we'd be now
If someone predicted our current situation back then,
I would not have known how
I wouldn't have comprehended how different it is.
How can it be?
Expressing disbelief at the current state of affairs.
All the days inside these walls
Reflecting on days spent within walls.
Licking the wounds of limbs we lost
Acknowledging and healing from the wounds of past challenges.
When we believed we could have it all
A longing for the time when we believed in limitless possibilities.
All the cities, all the valleys crossed
Recalling the journeys through cities and valleys.
Just to get to another hotel before the sunset
Traveling to hotels, racing against the sunset.
But in this stillness
Amidst the calmness, finding joy comparable to a child's innocence.
I can find a joy of a small child
Finding happiness in simple pleasures, like picking a rosebud.
Picking a rosebud and leaving the stem behind
Leaving behind the thorny stem, symbolizing shedding the burdens.
All the days inside these walls
Reflecting again on days spent within walls.
Licking the wounds of limbs we lost
Continuing to heal from past wounds and losses.
When we believed we could have it all
A yearning for the time when belief in limitless possibilities was strong.
All the days inside these walls
Reiteration of the days spent within walls.
Licking the wounds of limbs we lost
Continued process of healing from past challenges.
When we believed we could have it all
Expressing the enduring belief in the potential for achieving everything.
All
Emphasizing the universal nature of these experiences.
All, all
Repeating the emphasis on the universality of the experiences.
