Walk Like A Gentleman
Embracing Life's Complexity: Struggles and Reflections
Lyrics
So many days we were living the dream
Reflecting on days when life felt like a dream.
I'd let you drive, you would take the wheel
Granting control to someone else metaphorically.
Wondering if all this life's a game
Questioning the nature of life, wondering if it's a game.
Like yesterday, you were always to me
Remembering a person who used to be significant.
A memory fond I could never repeat
Nostalgia for a cherished memory that cannot be recreated.
With my head on the floor
Expressing a state of vulnerability with one's head down.
Oh I'm surrounded
Feeling surrounded and giving up on a situation.
So I give up
-Yeah
-Walk like a gentleman and curse like a wave
Advising to carry oneself with dignity but acknowledging personal struggles with a carefree attitude.
We look so good and then you throw it away
-Cause we all got problems
-When it comes to the soul, who needs anyone?
-And it goes
Transition in the song.
Do Do Do
-I'm calling out my enemies
Declaring a stand against enemies and refusing to settle.
Do Do Do
-I'm giving up on settling
-So many days, we were living the dream
Repeating memories, expressing vulnerability again.
We'd walk around through the town and see
-people busy crowding up their days
-But that would change, it was always to me
-A memory fond I could never repeat
-With my head on the floor
-Oh I'm surrounded
Feeling overwhelmed and giving up again.
So I give up
-Yeah
-Walk like a gentleman and curse like a wave
Reiteration of the advice from lines 12-15.
We look so good and then you throw it away
-Cause we all got problems
-When it comes to the soul, who needs anyone?
-But you just walk out the door and stand in silence
Describing a situation of uncertainty and lack of confidence.
You know exactly what you want
-But you're not sure that you can get it right
-Oh you never get it right
-Cause you are living in someone's eyes
-Walk like a gentleman and curse like a wave
Repeating struggles and questioning the need for others in matters of the soul.
We look so good and then you throw it away
-Cause we all got problems
-When it comes to the soul, who needs anyone?
-Do Do Do
Repeating the declaration against enemies and the refusal to settle.
I'm calling out my enemies
-Do Do Do
-I'm giving up on settling
-So many days we were living the dream
Revisiting the theme of living in a dream and letting someone else take control.
I'd let you drive, you would take the wheel
-Wondering if all this life's a game
