Eternal Pursuit: Embracing Wisdom through the Years
Lyrics
Old friends grow into old men
Reflecting on the aging process of old friends as they grow into old men.
While hard lines die with the best
Acknowledging that challenges and difficulties fade away, leaving only the best experiences to endure.
We're out there
An assertion that they are still actively engaged in life and its experiences.
Chasing our old light
Pursuing the remnants of their past, possibly referring to nostalgic memories or aspirations.
We're finally bright
Reaching a point where their essence or existence shines brightly.
Old friends long to be young men
Expressing a desire for the vitality and energy associated with youth.
When hard times built us the best
Recalling that challenging times have contributed to shaping them into their best selves.
We're out there
Confirming an active pursuit of life's experiences and challenges.
Chasing our old light
Continuing the quest to rediscover and relive the brightness of their past.
We're finally bright
Achieving a state of brilliance or fulfillment in their current phase of life.
You say, Why?
Prompting a question about the purpose or reason behind certain aspects of life.
You say what I
Questioning the speaker's perspective or stance on a particular matter.
You say whatever's on your mind
Encouraging open expression of thoughts without reservation.
Old friends, we've become old men
Observing the transformation of old friends into elderly individuals.
With hard times, die like the rest
Noting that challenging times eventually come to an end like the rest of life's experiences.
We're out there
Affirming an ongoing engagement with life and its challenges.
Chasing our own light
Pursuing their unique path or personal goals in life.
We're finally bright
Achieving a sense of brightness or fulfillment in their individual journeys.
You say, Why?
Reiterating the questioning of the purpose or reason behind certain aspects of life.
You say what I...
Repeating the inquiry into the speaker's perspective on a particular matter.
You say whatever's on your mind
Reemphasizing the importance of expressing one's thoughts openly and honestly.
