Lost Highway
Lost Highway Chronicles: Reflections on Life, Love, and Humanity
Lyrics
I saw the Operation Desert Storm
I observed the events of Operation Desert Storm.
People walking down a lost highway
People are metaphorically walking down a path of confusion or disorientation.
While they were dying on my TV screen
While witnessing death on my TV screen.
I watching it from far away
I was watching it from a distant place.
All of us, look at all of us
Reflecting on humanity collectively.
Living down under the law
Living within the boundaries of the law.
Men dream while ages pass away
Men dream while time passes.
They ran the words that were set in stone
Referring to established principles or rules.
When they needed shelter from the storm
Seeking refuge from difficulties.
Then the news came from a million miles away
News arriving from a great distance.
A simple word of love was born, yeah
A simple expression of love emerged from the news.
All of us, look at all of us
Reflecting again on humanity collectively.
Living down under the Lord
Living within the guidance of a higher power.
Men dream while ages pass away
Men dream while time passes.
And time goes by
The passage of time.
The years just fly away
Years passing swiftly.
Then some comets move across the sky
Reference to celestial events, possibly symbolizing unpredictability.
The world stands still
A moment when the world seems to stop.
We still kill each other
Despite this, humans continue to harm each other.
A truth that's in the moment never dies
A truth experienced in the present is everlasting.
I dreamed of operation desert storm
Recurring thoughts about Operation Desert Storm.
I was walking down a lost highway
Personally navigating a confusing or disoriented path.
People dying on a TV screen
Witnessing death on a TV screen once again.
I was watching it from far away
Observing it from a distant perspective.
All of us, look at all of us
Reflecting on humanity collectively, repetition for emphasis.
Living down under the law
Living within the boundaries of a higher power, repetition for emphasis.
Men dream while ages pass away
Men dream while time passes, repetition for emphasis.
And time goes by
The passage of time, repetition for emphasis.
The years just fly away
Years passing swiftly, repetition for emphasis.
Then some comets move across the sky
Reference to celestial events, repetition for emphasis.
The world stands still
A moment when the world seems to stop, repetition for emphasis.
We still kill each other
Despite this, humans continue to harm each other, repetition for emphasis.
The truth that's in the moment never dies
A truth experienced in the present is everlasting, repetition for emphasis.
We're moving on a lost highway
Continuing on a path of confusion or disorientation.
Lost highway
Reiteration of being on a lost path.
Lost highway, highway
Repetition of the idea of a lost path.
Lost highway
Emphasizing the theme of being on a lost path, repetition for emphasis.
