Shoot the Moon
Chasing Dreams and Shooting the Moon: A '95 Anthem
Lyrics
Back in '95 when this was new
Reflecting on the year 1995 when the situation described took place.
I guess I didn't have a clue
Admitting a lack of understanding or awareness at that time.
I thought the world would change with the right song
Expressing the belief that a powerful song could bring about positive change in the world.
So we picked it up and moved it out
Taking action by moving forward with the plan described.
And turned the whole thing upside down
Causing a significant disruption or change to the established order.
I told myself it wouldn't be too long
Reassuring oneself that the disruptive phase won't last too long.
And I believed in everyone
Having trust and faith in people.
And everything they told me
Believing in the credibility of information received from others.
And I believed that anything
Having a broad belief that any achievement is possible.
Anything was possible
Emphasizing the limitless potential for achieving anything.
Shoot the moon
Repeatedly expressing the command or desire to "Shoot the moon."
Shoot the moon
-Shoot the moon
-Hit or miss it makes no difference
Stating that success or failure doesn't matter, implying indifference.
Back when everything was looking up
Recalling a time when everything seemed optimistic and positive.
I thought I'd never get enough
Expecting an abundance of positive experiences.
I didn't let the world obstruct my view
Choosing to remain optimistic despite challenges.
And we thought that it would never end
Believing in the perpetuity of enjoyable experiences.
We had our fun in spite of it
Acknowledging the enjoyment of life despite obstacles.
And paved the way for something slightly new
Contributing to a new and slightly different direction or era.
