Wasted Years
Reflections of Time: A Poignant Tale of Wasted Years
Lyrics
Walking down this well known street
Reflecting on a familiar street
Turning 'round for ladies feet
Nostalgically looking at where ladies once walked
Like you did so many years ago
Recalling actions from many years ago
Sitting in that street cafe
Sitting in a street cafe
Where you had your cup of tea
Remembering a past moment of having tea
Come on boy don't get sentimental now
Encouraging oneself not to be overly sentimental
Everything changed but you didn't move on
Highlighting the unchanged aspect in a changing environment
And the only fact is
Stating the only undeniable truth
That you're fifteen years older now
Acknowledging aging with fifteen more years
No use to turn out the lights
Rejecting the idea of avoiding reality
You feel so depressed inside
Expressing internal sadness
When you think of your wasted years at night
Reflecting on the feeling of wasted years during the night
Standing in your discotheque
Being present in a discotheque
Look since hours straight ahead
Staring ahead for a long time
Play the part of some ypung and lonesome star
Playing a role of a young, lonely star
Introverted more and more
Becoming more introverted
Waiting for a small hello
Waiting for a simple greeting
People next to you they seem so far
Feeling distant from people nearby
But deep inside you made love to the world
Despite outer appearances, internally connected with the world
'cause your imagination
Imagination surpassing reality
Was bigger than reality
Rejecting the idea of avoiding reality (repeated)
No use to turn out...
Continuing to resist facing reality
When you came into that town
Arriving in a town and finding everything favorable
You found everything so fine
Optimistic about the realization of projects
All your projects shall be realized
Struggling as daydreams hinder progress
But your day-dreams strangled you
Daydreams acting as a barrier to necessary actions
Kept you from what you had to do
Life progressing despite personal paralysis
And life went on while you were paralysed
Feeling helpless as life moves forward
Heaven knows you would give all you have
Expressing a willingness to give up everything for change
For the change to go back to those days for a new beginning
Desiring a return to the past for a fresh start
No use to turn out...
Reiterating the rejection of avoiding reality (repeated)
Walking down...
Returning to the act of walking down a street
Better you leave the places of your past
Suggesting leaving places tied to the past
'cause dreamers love cities and citie hate dreamers
Highlighting a conflict between dreamers and cities
No use to turn out...
Reiterating the rejection of avoiding reality (repeated)
