Lyrics

From the coast of gold across the seven seas

Expressing a journey from a prosperous place ("coast of gold") to various locations across the world ("seven seas").

I'm traveling on far and wide

Continuing the description of a wide-ranging journey, suggesting a vast and extensive exploration.

But now it seems I'm just a stranger to myself

Feeling disconnected from oneself, possibly due to the experiences and changes encountered during the journey.

And all the things I sometimes do

Reflecting on actions that seem out of character, indicating a sense of internal conflict or change.

It isn't me but someone else

Suggesting a dissociation from personal identity, feeling like someone else, possibly due to the impact of experiences.


I close my eyes and think of home

Longing for home, using visualization with closed eyes to create a mental image of familiarity and comfort.

Another city goes by in the night

Observing cities passing by during the night, possibly emphasizing the transient nature of life's experiences.

Ain't it funny how it is,

Reflecting on the irony that one may not appreciate something until it's gone, a common theme of nostalgia.

You never miss it till its gone away

Highlighting the realization of the value of something only after losing it.

And my heart is lying there

Expressing a deep emotional connection to a place or person that remains in the heart even when physically absent.

And will be till my dying day

Don't waste your time always

Face up... make your stand

And realize you're living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind

Expressing the presence of free time and thoughts focused on a specific person.

Can't easy this pain so easily

Describing the difficulty of alleviating emotional pain.

When you can't find the words to say

Expressing the challenge of finding the right words to communicate feelings.

It's hard to make it through another day

Highlighting the struggle to get through daily challenges and emotions.

And it just makes me wanna cry

Feeling overwhelmed and emotional to the point of wanting to cry.

And throw my hands up to the sky

Expressing a sense of surrender or frustration, raising hands to the sky as a symbolic gesture.
