To Gold
Chasing Dreams: Unveiling the Alchemy of Life in 'To Gold'
Lyrics
Words can be so futile, it seems, when thoughts don't make a sound
Words may lack effectiveness when thoughts remain unexpressed.
They're fairly dark then become the arc of another person's mouth
Words, initially somber, transform into the joy reflected in someone else's smile.
Throw your dimes at dozens of rhymes then just leave it alone
Investing time and effort in numerous creative endeavors, only to abandon them eventually.
Lest you find whatever you pined for chasing off your own
Caution against losing oneself while pursuing desires, risking self-alienation.
This beauty is a reverie
Describing an idealized beauty as a daydream or fanciful imagination.
Painted pages of a dream
Pages filled with the imagery of a dream, possibly representing aspirations or goals.
But me, I keep imagining
Expressing a personal tendency to continually envision and dream.
My future torn from it
Acknowledging a sense of loss regarding one's envisioned future.
I'm a mess, I'll say it I guess, the disconnect is true
Admitting personal struggles and a genuine disconnection with reality.
Failed to read my destiny and wore the pages through
Failing to understand or foresee one's destiny, leading to weariness.
This beauty is a reverie
Reiteration of the beauty as a daydream or fanciful imagination.
Painted pages of a dream
Repetition of the dreamlike imagery on painted pages.
But me, I keep imagining
Continued imaginative tendencies despite challenges and losses.
My future torn from it
Reiteration of a sense of loss regarding the envisioned future.
If pain is a losing try, then roll all the dice tonight
Suggesting that enduring pain is like taking a chance, akin to rolling dice.
If odds are inevitable, I'll take another roll
Acceptance of inevitable odds, willing to take risks for potential gains.
Better than standing by
Choosing action over passivity, preferring to take chances rather than stand by.
One day, who knows, the ones and the fours may align at just the right time
Hopeful speculation that favorable circumstances may align in the future.
For rhymes to resign and give in to try turning black to gold
Expressing the desire for poetic inspiration to transform challenges into success.
For rhymes to resign and give in to try turning black to gold
Reiteration of the hope for transformative poetic inspiration.
This beauty is a reverie
Reiteration of the idealized beauty as a daydream or fanciful imagination.
Painted pages of a dream
Repetition of the dreamlike imagery on painted pages.
But me, I keep imagining
Continued imaginative tendencies despite challenges and losses.
My future torn from it
Reiteration of a sense of loss regarding the envisioned future.
This beauty is a reverie
Reiteration of the beauty as a daydream or fanciful imagination.
Painted pages that I know
Recognition of the dreamlike imagery on painted pages.
But me, I keep imagining
Continued imaginative tendencies despite challenges and losses.
My future turned to gold
Expressing a hopeful transformation of the envisioned future into something valuable (gold).
