Paulie Said
Unraveling Life's Tapestry: Paulie's Journey Through Love and Meaning
Lyrics
Paulie said I must be scared I'm a man not a mountain see you there
Paulie acknowledges fear in the speaker but emphasizes their humanity and availability.
Though he knew that love had gone, he just picked back up and carried it along
Despite knowing love has faded, Paulie persists in carrying it forward.
He's a schemer, part-time dreamer, with a head so heavy with truth
Describes Paulie as someone who plans and dreams, burdened by a heavy truth.
I don't mind that much, don't let it happen to you
The speaker is indifferent but advises caution to prevent a similar fate.
Sailing on a fantasy, pick it up, pick it up, never happened to me
The speaker hasn’t experienced a certain fantasy but acknowledges its existence.
Though I'm never where you're at, if you call me up I'll call you back
Despite not being present physically, the speaker promises to reciprocate communication.
You're a prophet, you can't stop it, cause you don't see in reverse
Recognition of someone's prophetic abilities hindered by an inability to foresee the past.
Faded from the cradle to the hearse
Life's journey from birth to death, faded from the beginning to the end.
How long? Were you heaven sent to sing this song?
Questioning the divine nature of someone's purpose in singing.
Neither was I, but I might as well
The speaker, like Paulie, feels compelled to participate in this journey despite not being divine.
Hell bent in making meaning, not making sense, you should try
Embracing the quest for meaning over logical sense, encouraging exploration.
But I just don't know all the ways to go
Uncertainty about the choices and paths available.
But I just don't know all the ways to go
Reiteration of uncertainty about choices and directions.
Paul, I heard you're staying out, you're the last one there I have no doubt
Paulie's noted absence, confident in his perseverance till the end.
Pick apart the broken thing, then ear to ear we'll call it in
Suggests dissecting a broken situation and resolving it with communication.
If you're gonna, then I wanna, tell you something real
Expresses a desire to convey something genuine if given the chance.
There's a whole lot of living in those years
Life holds significant experiences within its duration.
How long? Were you heaven sent to sing this song?
Reiteration of questioning divine purpose in singing.
Neither was I, but I might as well
The speaker aligns with the sentiment of participating despite not being divine.
Hell bent in making meaning, not making sense, you should try
Emphasizes the pursuit of meaning over coherence, inviting others to try this approach.
Paul, I'm getting out of here, that solid ground is really near
The speaker is leaving and feels closer to stability.
Oh what a run we had, even the harshest winds won't pull me back
Reflects on the past, expressing resilience against difficulties.
And we said it, and we did it, so man don't get blue
An affirmation of promises made and accomplished, advising against despair.
See you in another life or two
Anticipation of meeting again in another phase of existence.
