Lyrics
I started out so starry-eyed
I began with a sense of optimism and idealism
Full of hope and wonder
Filled with hope and amazement
And I wore flowers in my hair
I adorned myself with flowers in a carefree manner
Not aware I'd been defiled
Unaware that I had been tainted or corrupted
(Every time I see you) I know it's going down
Each encounter with you signifies a downfall
(How can I believe you) karma comes around
Expressing skepticism about believing you; karma is inevitable
I know this ride, you must be there by my side
Familiarity with this journey, needing your presence
You going down, I must be descending
You are facing a decline, and I am also descending
I didn't want to play the song
I did not want to be associated with a song that raised false hopes
That gave people so much hope
The song that brought inspiration to people
I turned my back and turned away
Turning away and rejecting that source of inspiration
Here's the rope that made me choke
A metaphorical reference to the negative impact of a certain decision
(Every time I see you) I know it's going down
Recognition that encountering you leads to negative consequences
(How can I believe you) karma comes around
Doubting the credibility of your actions; anticipating karma
You can see it in my eyes
The emotions are evident in my eyes
You can read it on my face
My feelings are apparent on my face
You can hear it as I cry
A plea for understanding and redemption
God, I hope it's not too late
An urgent desire for forgiveness before it's too late
Can I try to make it up to you somehow?
A question, asking if there's a way to make amends
Can I try to make it up to you somehow?
A repeated plea for a chance to make things right
Now my race is finally run
My life's journey has come to an end
And as I tumble to the Sun
Falling towards failure or disappointment
All these dreams I can't achieve
Unfulfilled dreams contributing to a downfall
Brought me crashing to my knees
A metaphorical representation of failure leading to humility
My descent has now begun
The realization that musical pursuits are left incomplete
All the music left undone
Leaving behind unfinished creative endeavors
My world, it is descending
Acknowledgment of the personal world collapsing or deteriorating
