So at Last
Chasing Sunsets: A Journey of Liberation in Southern California
Lyrics
So at last Southern California,
Expressing arrival or reaching a point in Southern California.
Sun sets like a long goodbye
Describing the sunset in Southern California as a prolonged farewell.
I've been dreaming about it for days
Anticipation and longing for the experience in Southern California.
But I don't ask why
Acceptance of the situation without questioning or seeking reasons.
I can feel it in my bones, it's a careless season
Sense of an unguarded or carefree time of year.
It started just the other day,
Introduction of the careless season, which recently began.
And what did you expect that just for no reason I packed it in and drove away?
Leaving abruptly without a clear reason, defying expectations.
Now I don't mean to pin this one on you darlin'
Clarifying that the departure is not blamed on a particular person.
It's time I found something good.
Expressing the need to find something positive in life.
When it comes right down, you're just one of many people that never really understood.
Addressing the lack of understanding from one among many people.
So at last Southern California,
Reiteration of being in Southern California.
Sun sets like a long goodbye
Comparing the sunset to a prolonged farewell once again.
I've been dreaming about it for days
Continued anticipation and dreaming about the experience.
But I don't ask why
Acceptance without questioning the situation.
As I drove into a city painted on the desert
Describing a city in the desert with towering structures.
With everything 10 miles high, hard to believe that nobody will see what
Heightened disbelief that others can't see what the narrator perceives.
I see through my blood shot eyes,
Personal perspective expressed through bloodshot eyes.
Now I don't mean to sound so young and naive, but I think we've found something good,
Acknowledging a positive discovery despite sounding youthful and naive.
And now I can feel me leaving who I used to be as we're driving into Hollywood
Sense of transformation or change as they enter Hollywood.
So at last Southern California,
Confirmation of being in Southern California once more.
Sun sets like a long goodbye
Reiteration of the sunset resembling a prolonged goodbye.
I've been dreaming about it for days
Continued anticipation and dreaming about the experience.
But I don't ask why
Acceptance without questioning the situation.
So at last Southern California,
Reiteration of being in Southern California.
Sun sets enough to get by
Describing the sunset as sufficient for getting by.
I've been dreaming about it for days
Continued anticipation and understanding the reason for the dreams.
And now I know why
Realization of the purpose or significance behind the dreams.
I can feel it in my bones, its a careless season,
Reiteration of the carefree season, starting with waking up.
It started when I woke today
Highlighting the clarity that comes with being present in the moment.
And now that I'm here it's all so very clear
Expressing a clear understanding of the reason for leaving.
The reason that I drove away
Explaining the motive behind the impulsive departure.
Now I don't mean to call so early now darlin',
Apology for calling early due to the enjoyable waves.
But the waves just feel so good,
Expressing the pleasure derived from the waves.
And I'll always come around
Commitment to returning and witnessing the sunset, as predicted.
And watch the sun go down,
Emphasizing the reliability of the predicted sunset.
Just like I knew you would
Confirmation of the anticipated behavior, comparing it to expectations.
So at last Southern California
Reiteration of being in Southern California.
Sun sets like a long goodbye
Comparing the sunset to a prolonged goodbye once more.
I've been dreaming about it for days
Continued anticipation and dreaming about the experience.
But I don't ask why
Acceptance without questioning the situation.
So at last Southern California
Reiteration of being in Southern California.
Sun sets enough to get by
Describing the sunset as sufficient for getting by.
I've been dreaming about it for days
Continued anticipation and realization of the purpose behind the dreams.
And now I know why
Final understanding of the reason for the dreams about Southern California.
