A Thousand Eyes
Fortune Beyond Stars: All The Luck In The World's Odyssey
Lyrics
We left to search the dark for light
We embarked on a journey to find positivity and hope in difficult times.
I knew you'd never seen a real night sky
I was aware that you hadn't experienced the true beauty of a night sky.
With our backs to the hue
We turned away from the color or brightness, possibly avoiding superficial aspects.
We talked about what we'd do
We discussed our plans and aspirations.
If we came across a fortune
We considered what we would do if we encountered unexpected wealth or prosperity.
But I'm not him and you are not her
I am not the person you may have expected, and you are not who I may have anticipated.
And we did not find the things
We did not discover the specific things we were searching for.
That we set out for
We didn't achieve the goals we set out to accomplish.
Just like them we walk a common ground
Similar to others, we navigate life with shared experiences.
With a thousand eyes in the sky
We face scrutiny or judgment represented by a symbolic "thousand eyes" in the sky.
Staring us down
This judgment or observation is directed towards us.
We don't need this
We realize that we don't require certain things or situations.
So there's no point in forcing it
Trying to force something is pointless; we don't need it.
Oh, we don't need this
We reiterate that we don't need the specific thing or situation.
Cause we're already fortunate
We are already fortunate and don't need to strive for more.
There's no point in forcing it
Emphasizing that there's no need to push for something unnecessary.
Cause we're already fortunate
We are content with our current state of fortune.
We left to search the dark for light
Repetition of the idea of searching for positivity in challenging situations.
And what we sought
We found what we were looking for.
We thought we would never find
Initially, we doubted finding what we sought, but in some ways, we were proven wrong.
And in ways we were right
Our journey was not in vain; we did discover what we were seeking.
