Pipe Dreamer
Embracing Dreams: Unveiling Life's Gamble Through 'Pipe Dreamer'
Lyrics
Too many questions, child, makes the mind grow weak
Questioning excessively weakens the mind.
She is smiling vacantly
The person is smiling with emptiness or without genuine emotion.
Society's got its keep
Society has its own maintenance or control over things.
But oh to be bold
An expression of desire to be brave or courageous.
When the game favors the meek
In situations where the weak are favored, boldness becomes necessary.
No I'll never be some cog in this machinery
Refusing to be a mere part of a system or establishment.
Sheperd or the sheep?
A question posed about choosing between leadership or being led.
I cannot fly no more
Unable to soar or achieve freedom.
But I'm high as ceiling
Feeling euphoric or intoxicated despite the inability to fly.
I cannot cry no more
No longer able to shed tears.
'Cos I'm high as the ceiling
Feeling emotionally elevated despite the inability to cry.
I was once a pipe dreamer
Past identity as someone with ambitious dreams.
Busking for my meals
Earning food by performing music on the street.
An ever-expanding appetite
A continuous hunger for grand aspirations.
Fed by high ideals
Ideals that fuel the hunger for ambition.
How can I fold when I've bet all of my mind?
Unwillingness to give up despite risking everything mentally.
Said it's a gamble, when you try to change your given scenery
Changing surroundings is a risky endeavor.
And I've wagered all my time
Having wagered all time and effort.
I cannot fly no more
Unable to fly freely.
But I'm high as ceiling
Feeling euphoric or intoxicated despite the inability to fly.
I cannot cry no more
Unable to cry emotionally.
'Cos I'm high as the ceiling
Feeling emotionally elevated despite the inability to cry.
I cannot fly no more
Reiteration of feelings of euphoria despite emotional limitations.
But I'm high as ceiling
-I cannot cry no more
-'Cos I'm high as the ceiling
-When the day is through
Reflecting on the day's completion.
Have you done all the you can?
Questioning if one has given their best effort.
Will you fall asleep
Going to sleep with a sense of completion after using all opportunities.
Knowing that you've played your hand?
Repeated emphasis on the sense of having fully utilized opportunities.
Knowing that you've played your hand
-Knowing that you've played your hand
-Knowing that you've played your hand
-Knowing that you've played your hand
-Knowing that you've played your hand
Repeated assurance or acknowledgment of having used all opportunities.
