Gold
Journey of Lost Fortune
Lyrics
Settled in
Settled into a place or situation.
With the sound of the wind
Aware of the sound of the wind.
And the lonely song it sings
Reflecting on the melancholic song of the wind.
Resides a parable I know
In a story or analogy that I understand.
Pull it tight
Tension or pressure is building up.
Overhead in the night
Above, in the nighttime sky.
When the walls are closing in
When feeling trapped or overwhelmed.
Never knew how far I’d go
Didn't anticipate the extent of my journey.
Felt it best
Thought it was the right choice.
Was laid to rest
Was once at peace, now at rest in a different way.
But now this weight’s upon my chest
Feeling burdened or troubled.
Moved along
Moved forward, leaving something behind.
What was here now is gone
What existed before is no longer present.
Wasn’t time to say goodbye
No time to bid farewell.
Still the memories they burn
Memories linger and cause pain.
Paid a debt
Paid a price, an experience hard to forget.
That I’ll never forget
Despite efforts, the memory remains.
No matter how I try
Struggling to move on.
Another lesson left unlearned
Not learning from a past experience.
A subtle glow
A faint light from below.
From down below
Guiding towards a destination.
Lights the way to where I’d go
All the valuable things I didn't appreciate.
All the gold I took for granted
Melted away and given away without value.
Melted down and sold for free
Wasted without consideration or remorse.
Squandered it as if I’d planned it
Used recklessly, as if it was intentional.
Callously
Indifferent or heartless behavior.
Now I’m free
Now liberated or detached.
Steel myself for one more ride
Preparing for another challenging experience.
Convinced of truths I know are lies
Believing in falsehoods despite knowing they're false.
No place to lay but on the line
No place to rest comfortably.
Here comes the wind to sing its fateful lullaby
The wind returns with its inevitable lullaby.
All the gold I took for granted
All the valuable things I didn't appreciate.
Melted down and sold for free
Melted away and given away without value.
Squandered it as if I’d planned it
Wasted without consideration or remorse.
Callously
Used recklessly, as if it was intentional.
All the gold I took for granted
All the valuable things I didn't appreciate.
Melted down and sold for free
Melted away and given away without value.
Squandered it as if I’d planned it
Wasted without consideration or remorse.
Now I’m free
Now liberated or detached.
