Wandering Souls: Seeking Fortune Beyond Distance

Lyrics

I am one of the broken

Feeling emotionally damaged or shattered

No matter the distance i put between us

No matter how far apart we are

Another town, another glass

In different places, consuming alcohol

Nameless and faceless with the strip malls and churches

Anonymous and indistinguishable among commercial areas and religious institutions

The cliches that we've become live on in all the bars

The stereotypes or predictable behaviors we've adopted persist in bars

Every state the same chase

Every location presents a similar pursuit or endeavor

Spill the ash from the urn

Symbolic act of scattering ashes

Someday let us return back to earth and sleep

Eventually, returning to the earth in death


Unending change makes us masters of the past

Constant change empowers us by understanding our history

That long look back

A reflective gaze towards the past

And at some point we're only lateral travelers

At some stage, we only move sideways, not progressing


I am a plane crash that'll never make the news

A metaphorical crash without garnering attention or recognition

And in a few drinks I'll be the euphoric passengers

Under the influence, feeling ecstatic like passengers in an aircraft before a crash

Life glazed over their eyes

A sense of indifference or detachment towards life

All this traveling to see that dreams are free here

Traveling extensively to realize that aspirations are achievable without constraints here

We're just neon signs with deserts of poverty behind

We are superficial representations hiding poverty-stricken realities

It'll cost you a lifetime when you want fortune like the wheel

Pursuing wealth or success can consume a lifetime


Make no mistake, I want fortune like the wheel

Expressing the desire for immense wealth or success
