Limelight
Seeking the Warm Glow: Chasing the Elusive Limelight
Lyrics
I don't want to waste my time sleeping
I am not willing to spend my time sleeping.
And I sure don't,
I definitely don't want to
Want to waste my time away
I don't want to waste my time idly.
Spent too long a time running round
I've spent a considerable amount of time running around, waiting for a stroke of luck.
Waiting for a lucky break
I've been anticipating a fortunate opportunity.
I've done the same old trick, so many times
I've repeatedly used the same method or strategy numerous times.
Looking for a way to make it new
I've been searching for a new approach.
And I'm still searching for the warm glow
I'm still seeking the comforting and positive attention of public recognition or fame (limelight).
Of the limelight
Seeking the familiar attention and spotlight that was once experienced with you.
That I used to know with you
I never knew if I could be a star
I never knew if I could achieve stardom, but I felt like one when I was embraced by you.
But I felt like one
I felt significant and special in your presence.
When you held me in your arms
Even during difficult times, your memory gave me strength.
Even on the roughest nights
During challenging situations, thoughts of you helped me endure until morning.
The thought of you
I would travel extensively to escape or resolve difficulties.
Would lead me through to dawn
Struggling to find a solution to make problems vanish.
I would chase the sun a thousand miles
However, time is passing quickly.
To find a way to make it disappear
The attention and fame that were once close now seem distant.
But the days are getting shorter now
And the limelight
-Seems so far away from here
-Sha la la la la la la la
Repetitive chorus without specific literal meaning.
Sha la la la la la la la la
-Sha la la la la la la la
-Sha la la la la la la la la
-I would chase the sun a thousand miles
To find a way to make it disappear
-But the days are getting shorter now
-And the limelight
-Seems so far away from here
-Away from here
-Sha la la la la la la la
Repetitive chorus without specific literal meaning.
Sha la la la la la la la la
-Sha la la la la la la la
