Lyrics
High On A Hill
Expressing a sense of elevation or achievement
The Valley Below Me
Observing the landscape below from a vantage point
The Blue Sky Above Me
Noting the expansive and serene sky above
My Dream Was So Real
Describing a vivid and realistic dream
I Could Not Hear
Being in a state of detachment or isolation
The Hum Of The Highway
Unaware of the noise of the highway
Or The Drums Of The Foundry
Unaffected by the industrial sounds of the foundry
Pounding Out Steel
Symbolizing the industrial and working-class environment
I Didn't Need No Money
Content without the need for wealth
I Didn't Need No Time
Not constrained by time pressures
I Didn't Need Nothing But My Own Piece Of Mind
Independence and self-sufficiency emphasized
And You Know That
A confident assertion of the previous statements
A Voice Like A Whisper Is Bound To Be Heard
Belief that a soft-spoken message will be noticed
For Just One Moment
Experiencing a moment of personal triumph
I'm The King Of The World
Feeling like the ruler or master of one's world
For Just One Moment
Reiteration of the temporary sense of dominance
I'm The King Of The World
Repeating the feeling of being in control
So I Close My Eyes
Shutting out reality and embracing inner strength
I Let The Power Defeat Me
Surrendering to a powerful force or emotion
Because The Real World Can't Free Me
Expressing a desire to escape from a harsh reality
From This Dirty Old Town
Referring to a less-than-ideal living environment
Where The Four Winds Blow
Symbolizing a direction from which challenges come
I Sent My Troubles Rollin'
Sending away personal problems or difficulties
And Since The World Just Kept On Turnin'
Acceptance of the continuous nature of life
I Let It Go Round
Letting go of control and allowing life to unfold
I Didn't Need No Money
Reiteration of independence from material concerns
I Didn't Need No Time
Emphasizing freedom from time-related pressures
I Didn't Need Nothing But My Own Piece Of Mind
Reaffirmation of self-sufficiency
Where The Four Winds Blow
Repeating the idea of sending troubles away
I Sent My Troubles Rollin'
Continuing to distance oneself from problems
And Since The World Just Kept On Turnin'
Accepting the perpetual cycle of life's challenges
I Let It Go Round
Letting go of control and embracing life's flow
I Didn't Need No Money
Stressing independence from financial concerns
I Didn't Need No Time
Emphasizing freedom from time constraints
I Didn't Need Nothing But My Own Piece Of Mind
Reiterating the importance of personal peace
I'm The King Of The World
Recalling the temporary feeling of being in control
