Rainbow's Gold
Chasing Elusive Dreams: Quest for Fulfillment
Lyrics
Born beyond the middle of nowhere
Born in a remote, isolated place
All mountains, lakes and bigotry
Surrounded by nature and narrow-mindedness
I longed for concrete and neon
Desired the urban environment of city lights and modernity
So naive, but that's as far as I could dream
Had limited aspirations, unable to dream beyond a certain point
I thought of a place
Fantasized about a place not yet experienced
That I'm yet to see
Yet to explore that imagined place
I tried to get inside
Attempted to enter that imagined place
But they wouldn't let me
But faced rejection or barriers
Enough of the rainbows gold
Reached a saturation point with something promising but elusive
It's takin' a toll on me
Experiencing negative effects due to chasing an unattainable goal
Enough of the rainbows gold
Reached a limit with the pursuit of this elusive goal
And nothing seems to please me
Nothing brings satisfaction
'Cause why do I feel so cold
Feels emotionally detached and cold
Standing in the spotlight
Being in the center of attention, possibly fame or success
It was the one thing I was after
The primary ambition
The only thing I truly master
Identifies this pursuit as the only skill mastered
Guess I'll travel on forever
Will continue endlessly searching for this elusive success
In search for the rainbow's gold
Two buses full of dreamers
Many others with similar dreams arrive daily
Arrive there every day they say
People coming with aspirations and hopes
Though I arrived by train
Arrived differently but encountered difficulties or challenges
Snakes and lizards
Encountered negative or deceitful individuals
There were plenty
Encountered many dishonest or untrustworthy beings
I remember feeling empty
Experienced a sense of emptiness frequently
Most the time
Majority of the time felt hollow or unfulfilled
Zig-zagging my way around
Navigated in a zigzag pattern, possibly indicating a wandering or aimless path
I believed I could be
Believed in the potential to become a significant figure
Some kind of Axl Rose
Aspired to embody the persona of Axl Rose, a rockstar
Or the next Bob Dylan
Or to be as influential as Bob Dylan, a renowned musician
I was out of control
Lost control of oneself, possibly overwhelmed by ambitions
Enough of the rainbows gold
Reached a saturation point with something promising but elusive (repeated)
It's takin' a toll on me
Experiencing negative effects due to chasing an unattainable goal (repeated)
Enough of the rainbows gold
Reached a limit with the pursuit of this elusive goal (repeated)
And nothing seems to please me
Nothing brings satisfaction (repeated)
'Cause why do I feel so cold
Feels emotionally detached and cold (repeated)
Standing in the spotlight
Being in the center of attention, possibly fame or success (repeated)
It was the one thing I was after
The primary ambition (repeated)
The only thing I truly master
Identifies this pursuit as the only skill mastered (repeated)
Guess I'll travel on forever
Will continue endlessly searching for this elusive success (repeated)
In search for the rainbow's gold
