Career Break
Unveiling Dreams: Career Reflections and Aspirations in Gingerjamesfair's Melody
Lyrics
Got a paper round when I was thirteen
Started a paper route job at the age of thirteen.
I was so proud I was earning a living
Felt a sense of pride in earning a living through the job.
In my forties, I sometimes stop and think
In his forties, reflects on his life and wonders if there will be time for a break.
Will there ever be time to take a break?
Contemplates the possibility of taking a break from the routine.
I wanted to travel the world
Expresses a desire to explore and travel the world.
While I had my health to take it all in
Wanted to do this while still in good health to fully experience it.
Made excuses, needed to work
Made excuses for not pursuing the dream, felt the need to work instead.
Felt indulgent, just having such a dream
Felt that having such dreams was indulgent or extravagant.
But the wish remains, and stupid it may be
Despite considering the dream foolish, the desire to pursue it persists.
Take the dream away, what's left of me?
Questions what remains of his identity if the dream is taken away.
Over horizon, an unreachable peak
Visualizes an unattainable goal or aspiration on the horizon.
Endless ambition, another goal to meet
Reflects on relentless ambition and the constant pursuit of new goals.
I wanted to travel the world
Reiterates the desire to travel the world for personal growth.
And become someone that is interesting to meet
Aspires to become an interesting person through life experiences.
Have stories, potential friends
Envisions creating stories and potential friendships through these experiences.
Some memories worthwhile to keep
Desires to have meaningful memories that are worth cherishing.
Give some purpose to my sad little life
Wants to find purpose in life through these experiences, implying a sense of dissatisfaction.
And justify the work
Expresses a desire to justify the hard work put into life.
