Old Souls
Echoes of Timeless Love: Caleb Elliott's Old Souls
Lyrics
I wanna go to a place in time where love is sweet, wine is fine
I desire to go to a time where love is pure and wine is exquisite.
Troubles of my mind are far away
The troubles in my mind are distant and not affecting me.
Do you remember such a place?
Asking if you remember a place like the one described.
Lovers two, in harmony, slipping passed the mystery
Two lovers in perfect harmony, navigating through life's mysteries.
There is no secret code or key
Emphasizing that such a place doesn't require a secret code or key.
But it's harder than it seems
Acknowledging that achieving this ideal state is more challenging than it appears.
Of all the beauty in humanity
Appreciating the beauty in humanity, from Beethoven to Debussy.
From Beethoven to Debussy
No song can fully express the depth of beauty felt.
No song could ever sing to me
Expressing the soft and sweet nature of the ideal experience.
So soft and sweet
I've been told I'm an old soul
Acknowledging being called an old soul, implying a deep understanding of life.
As if I understand all I've seen
Clarifying that understanding doesn't mean comprehension of all experiences.
All I know, time is only passing
Recognizing that time is passing, emphasizing the inevitability of change.
In a land of the blind
Describing a world where people are oblivious, and insight is rare.
Where one eyed men are kings
Highlighting the unique status of those with limited insight in such a world.
So here's to you looking back at me
Raising a toast to someone looking back at the narrator, possibly in reflection.
When all my days of youth are spent paying dues and making rent
Anticipating a future where youth is spent fulfilling responsibilities.
I hear there is an open door
Heard about the possibility of an open door, suggesting hope for the future.
Steady on and stay the course
Encouraging perseverance and staying on the chosen path.
I do not seek your sympathy but a line or two of honesty
Expressing a desire for honesty, not sympathy, in the journey of life.
I'll sort the rest out on my own
Taking responsibility to figure things out independently.
Some roads you must go down alone
Acknowledging that some paths must be walked alone.
I've been told I'm an old soul
Reiterating the notion of being an old soul with a deep understanding.
As if I understand all I've seen
Emphasizing that understanding doesn't encompass everything witnessed.
All I know, time is only passing
Recognizing the fleeting nature of time in a world with limited insight.
In a land of the blind
Describing a world where those with partial insight hold significant influence.
Where one eyed men are kings
Highlighting the unique status of those with limited insight in such a world.
So here's to you looking back at me
Raising a toast to someone looking back at the narrator, possibly in reflection.
