Let the Rest of the World Go By
Escape to Serenity: Letting the World Drift Away
Lyrics
Is the struggle and strife we find in this life
Questioning the value of the struggles and challenges in life.
Really worth while, after all
Reflecting on whether the challenges are worthwhile in the end.
I've been wishing today I could just run away
Expressing a desire to escape from the difficulties faced today.
Out where the west winds call
Yearning to go to a place where the west winds beckon.
With someone like you, a pal good and true
Desiring the company of a trustworthy friend like the listener.
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Expressing the wish to leave everything behind and search for a secluded place.
Some place that's known to god alone
Seeking a place known only to God, away from the world's knowledge.
Just a spot to call our own
Yearning for a spot to claim as their own.
We'll find perfect peace, where joys never cease
Anticipating finding perfect peace where joy is perpetual.
Out there beneath a kindly sky
Imagining tranquility under a benevolent sky.
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west
Envisioning building a small, comforting home in the western region.
And let the rest of the world go by
Choosing to let go of the rest of the chaotic world.
Is the future to hold just struggles for gold
Questioning if the future holds only struggles for material wealth.
While the real world waits outside
Contrasting the challenges with the real world waiting outside.
Away out on the breast of the wonderful west
Desiring to escape to the vast and wonderful west.
Across the great divide
Referring to a significant separation or distance.
With someone like you, a pal good and true
Expressing the desire for the company of a trustworthy friend once again.
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Reiterating the wish to leave everything behind and embark on a search.
Some place that's known to god alone
Seeking a place known only to God, echoing the earlier sentiment.
Just a spot to call our own
Yearning for a personal and intimate space to claim.
We'll find perfect peace, where joys never cease
Anticipating perpetual joy and peace in their newfound haven.
Out there beneath a kindly sky
Imagining a serene life under a benevolent sky, echoing line 11.
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west
Reiterating the vision of building a comforting home in the west.
And let the rest of the world go by
Choosing to detach from the chaos and let the rest of the world go by.
