True One
Navigating Life's Crossroads: Gene Clark's 'True One' Reflections
Lyrics
Changes come so quickly, easily it can seem bizarre
Changes occur rapidly, and it may appear strange or unconventional.
They say there's a price you pay for going out too far
Consequences exist for venturing too far, implying risks or repercussions.
You can buy a one way ticket out there all alone
One can choose a one-way journey, heading into solitude.
And you can sit and wonder why it's so hard to get back home
Reflecting on the difficulty of returning home after such a journey.
Nothing is important lost, that's not easy to believe
Challenging the belief that nothing important is truly lost.
The longer you're in one place, the harder it is to leave
Staying in one place makes leaving more challenging over time.
You can have a thousand cards to pull out of your sleeve
Despite having numerous options, success depends on authenticity.
But in the end the loser is the one who does deceive
The ultimate loser is one who deceives others in the end.
There's always a reality in what you are doing
Highlighting the presence of a practical aspect in one's actions.
Sometimes it's so hard to see which one is the true one
The difficulty in distinguishing the genuine path or choice.
I use to treat my friends like I was more than a millionaire
Formerly treating friends with opulence, as if wealthy beyond measure.
Spending those big ones like I could afford them all upstairs
Spending extravagantly, behaving as if able to afford anything.
But what's been flying high must always touch the ground
Acknowledging that what rises high will eventually come down.
Just walk upstairs and ask you'll be likely directed down
Suggesting that inquiries may redirect one to a humbler reality.
Into the reality of what you are doing
Emphasizing the importance of recognizing the consequences of actions.
Sometimes it's so hard to see which one is the true one
Reiterating the difficulty in discerning the genuine path or choice.
There's always a reality in what you are doing
Reaffirming the existence of a practical aspect in one's actions.
Sometimes it's so hard to see which one is the true one
Repeating the challenge of identifying the true path or choice.
