Skyline
Journey to the Skyline: Unveiling Dreams and Realities
Lyrics
I always said that I'd be something great
I always expressed my ambition to achieve something remarkable.
I said I'd let go of my spirit for a star on my name
I promised to sacrifice my inhibitions for fame.
Naivety shadowing all the distance over me
My innocence overshadowed the challenges ahead of me.
But now I know
Now I have gained knowledge and understanding.
Now I know
Emphasizing newfound awareness.
I used to read about a place of curiosities
I used to read about intriguing places.
I'd see those places every time I fell asleep
I envisioned these places in my dreams.
And rabbit holes don't get old
Reference to the timeless allure of exploration.
I needed something new to fuel my growth
I required something fresh to stimulate my development.
'Cause I just bought a ticket to the skyline
I've committed to a journey to the skyline.
And I'm not coming back till I see the light
Determined to persevere until I achieve enlightenment.
Now I'll know how it feels touching gold
Anticipation of experiencing success.
And I swear I've been here before
A sense of déjà vu, feeling familiar with the path.
I miss my mom, I miss my father holding both my hands
Expressing longing for the care of parents.
I reminisce the sound of their footsteps coming down the stairs
Nostalgia for the comforting sound of parental footsteps.
But I'd do anything just to be a bird and spread my wings
Desire to transcend limitations and soar freely.
'Cause I just bought a ticket to the skyline
Commitment to the journey to the skyline reiterated.
And I'm not coming back till I see the light
Reaffirmation of the determination to reach enlightenment.
Now I'll know how it feels touching gold
Anticipation of the emotions associated with success.
And I swear I've been here before
Reiteration of a sense of familiarity with the journey.
And as I am standing here before Heaven's gates
Standing at the gates of heaven, facing judgment.
I plead and wait for them to make the final verdict
Waiting for the final decision on my fate.
And even I have lived in oblivion
Acknowledging a past lived in ignorance.
There's nothing to make me an exception
Accepting that there's nothing exceptional about me.
And Heaven can wait for me
Heaven's patience in waiting for my arrival.
I swear some day I'll be free
A declaration of the aspiration for eventual freedom.
So I returned my ticket to the skyline
Returning the commitment to the journey to the skyline.
One day I'll learn what it feels like
Expressing a desire to understand the feeling of success.
I will know, all that glitters isn't gold
An acknowledgment that not everything attractive is valuable.
'Cause maybe I have been here before
Suspecting a familiarity with the journey, suggesting cycles of experience.
