Out in the Distance
Chasing Wisdom: Unraveling Life's Tapestry in 'Out in the Distance'
Lyrics
Sitting on the corner waiting to get older
Sitting in anticipation, waiting for the passage of time.
Time flies by and still I'm standing still
Despite time passing, there's a sense of stagnation or lack of progress.
Try as I might to do what is right
Struggling to do what is morally or socially right.
I am gonna do what I will
Determined to act according to personal will, regardless of norms.
My eyes are fire engine red
Expressing intense emotion or possibly anger through red eyes.
I remember every time you held my hand
Recalling moments of connection or support through physical touch.
You turn to dust every time the sun comes up
Metaphorically, losing something precious every sunrise.
I will forget every time that I've fucked up
Choosing to forget past mistakes despite their impact.
A decade later I shall hit the brakes
Planning to slow down or reconsider life choices after a significant time period.
I realize what is at stake
Recognizing the importance or consequences of decisions.
Realize that behind those lows and higs
Acknowledging the ups and downs as part of personal growth.
Is a stupid boy that that somehow gotten wise
Realizing wisdom gained despite previous foolishness.
If it's my life
Asserting control over one's own life.
Then it's my life to waste
Accepting the responsibility for personal choices, even if perceived as wasteful.
I try to move now with a different kind of haste
Attempting to move forward with a new sense of urgency.
Out in the distance
Referring to a distant point in time or space.
Right in your face
Highlighting the immediacy or closeness of a situation.
Out in the distance
Reiterating the concept of something being close or imminent.
Right in your face
Emphasizing persistence or determination in pursuing a goal.
I have the persistence
Expressing ongoing determination in the face of challenges.
Now I give chase
Continuing to actively pursue a goal despite difficulties.
Out in the distance
Reiterating the idea of persistence and determination.
Right in your face
Stating the ongoing pursuit in a bold and direct manner.
I've had a fair share of strife
Having experienced a considerable amount of hardship or difficulty.
Carried us on my back for what you'd call my life
Bearing the burden of responsibility for a significant period of time.
Now you tell me how I've got to live
Being told how to live life and what priorities to have.
And the fucks that I've got to give
Rejecting societal expectations and refusing to conform.
I say hell no
Expressing strong resistance or refusal to comply.
How'd you like what I've become
Asking for an opinion on personal growth or change.
Fearless creature under the sun
Describing oneself as fearless and confident.
Time flies by when you're having fun
Noting the subjective experience of time when enjoying oneself.
What does it do when you're having none
Pondering the impact of time when facing challenges or difficulties.
