Lyrics
So seldom longing
Expressing infrequent desire or yearning.
Not even thinking
Not giving much thought or consideration.
Distracted by his greed
Being diverted or disturbed by one's own greed.
No one's complaining
No one is expressing dissatisfaction.
In line and waiting
In a queue, patiently waiting.
The fool in front is gone
The person in front (the fool) has moved on or departed.
Blindfolded and chained to a chair
Physically restrained and unable to see, possibly symbolizing a lack of awareness.
Paralyzed and kept down
Unable to move, held in a fixed position.
A smile on his lips a tear from his eye
Mixed emotions – happiness and sadness coexisting.
Torn between now and then
Feeling conflicted between the present and the past.
Alone with anger
Isolated with intense anger.
Drinking for nothing
Consuming alcohol without purpose.
A half empty glas
Partially filled glass, symbolizing incompleteness.
A friend
Mention of a friend, possibly missing or absent.
Searching his pockets
Searching for something in one's own possessions.
He can't remember
Memory loss or forgetfulness.
It's been so long since he left
Signifying a significant period since departure.
To long he laughed
Laughing for too long, possibly indicating denial or masking true emotions.
No is missing
No one is being missed or remembered.
Regrets aren't present
Absence of remorse or sorrow.
He made his choice and left
A decisive choice made, and departure occurred.
To long he laughed
Continuation of laughter for an extended period.
