Crescent Sun
Journey Through the Crescent Sun: A Tale of Choices and Revelations
Lyrics
If you're planning to take on the world
If you're aspiring to achieve great things globally
You better pack for a long hard day
Prepare for a challenging and lengthy journey
Through the haze of eight long nights
Amidst difficulties lasting for eight nights
Only one road will take you the way
There's only one path that will lead you forward
Seven moons pass the center of a crescent sun
Symbolizing a significant point in time, seven moons orbit a crescent sun
You get the notion you should leave that girl
Feeling the inclination to part ways with a girl
You get the notion that it's better you stay
Conflicted emotions about leaving or staying
If you're planning to take on the world
Reiteration of the earlier advice for global endeavors
You better pack for a long hard day
Emphasizing the demanding nature of the journey
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same
Highlighting the repetitiveness of the situation
Clear mind and a ticket to ride
Achieving clarity of thought and having the means to travel
Finally rest for a minute or two
Finding brief respite after enduring challenges
New world when you're closing your eyes
Entering a new world when closing one's eyes, possibly metaphorical
Paradise there waiting for you
A promise of paradise awaiting in the future
Seven moons pass the center of a crescent sun
Reiteration of the celestial imagery
New day when you finally arrive
Anticipating a new day upon reaching the destination
Yet nobody that's been waiting for you
No one eagerly waiting for the person arriving
Try again like you do every time
Encouragement to persist despite past failures
Take a break for a drink or a few
Suggesting taking a break or enjoying simple pleasures
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same
Reiteration of the repetitiveness of the situation
Come back and you feel alright
Returning and feeling content
Where ya headed ain't important to you
Indifference to the destination, focusing on personal satisfaction
Don't make sense but the scene seems bright
The scene doesn't make sense, but it appears promising
Make a better world from your point of view
Striving to create a better world from one's perspective
Seven moons pass the center of a crescent sun
Repetition of the celestial imagery
Life is better with a bottle of wine
Life is improved with the enjoyment of wine
To better times for a while anything will do
Enduring hardships for a while with anything available
It's the same, it's the same,
Repetition emphasizing the monotony or similarity of experiences
It's the same
-Come back and you feel alright
-Where ya headed ain't important to you
-Don't make sense but the scene seems bright
-Make a better world from your point of view
-Seven moons pass the center of a crescent sun
-Life is better with a bottle of wine
-To better times for a while anything will do
-It's the same, it's the same,
-It's the same, it's the same,
-It's the same, it's the same
-It's the same, it's the same
Emphasizing the persistent nature of the situation
It's the same, it's the same
Continued repetition
It's the same
-It's the same, it's the same
-It's the same, it's the same
-It's the same
Final repetition, underscoring the ongoing sameness
