Wishing Well
Wandering Souls and Wishing Wells: Easily Amused's Tale of Lost Dreams
Lyrics
He lost it all in California, driving down to Tennessee
Experiencing a significant loss in California, heading towards Tennessee.
His memory pulled him to an empty well, hidden by the dogwood trees
Nostalgia leading him to an abandoned well concealed by dogwood trees.
He flipped his wheels, still high on pills
Crashed his vehicle while still under the influence of drugs.
So isolated and addicted to his misery
Isolation and addiction contributing to his ongoing misery.
Is it all real, down smoky hills
Questioning the reality of the situation, possibly amidst hazy circumstances.
Just coins and ripples turning thoughts into what could be
Contemplating possibilities and ideas influenced by altered states of mind.
By the wishing well, by the wishing well
Being near the wishing well, a symbol of desires and dreams.
An old song but your heart can't tell when you're out there raising hell
Reflecting on an old song, where the heart may not discern turmoil while causing trouble.
By the wishing well, by the water
Proximity to water, flipping a coin into the well, a symbolic act.
Flipped a coin, watched it as it fell
Randomly selecting fate by tossing a coin and observing its descent.
Just trying to make some bail
Attempting to secure release from custody by any means necessary.
Good luck it ain't for sale, no
Emphasizing that luck is not something that can be bought or traded.
Good luck to the easy lovers
Wishing good fortune to those who pursue easy relationships.
Casting hopes and dreams
Depicting individuals casting their aspirations and ambitions.
Smile while I find open hearts to leave
Smiling while abandoning vulnerable hearts.
Golden totems slow to throw them down
Valuable objects offered slowly, susceptible to theft by opportunists.
To the pockets of some waiting thief
Highlighting the risk of losing precious possessions to waiting thieves.
By the wishing well, by the wishing well
Reiterating the theme of being near the wishing well and its symbolic significance.
An old song but your heart can't tell when you're out there raising hell
Referencing the enduring nature of a song that may not convey inner turmoil.
By the wishing well, by the water
Revisiting the wishing well by the water and the act of coin flipping.
Flipped a coin, watched it as it fell
Repeating the imagery of tossing a coin into the well while seeking release.
Just trying to make some bail
Continuing efforts to secure bail and emphasizing the unavailability of luck for purchase.
Good luck it ain't for sale
Reiterating that good luck cannot be bought or sold.
