Glory Days
Embracing Glory: A Journey Through Time and Risk with James Ollier
Lyrics
These are the glory days
These times are considered as the peak moments of life, possibly filled with joy and success.
So why are you scared
Questioning why there is fear or apprehension despite being in what are supposed to be the best days.
We are young
Emphasizing youthfulness and a sense of vitality.
We are the risks we take
Acknowledging the importance of taking risks as a characteristic of youth.
I breathe strong
Expressing strength and resilience.
Starlings free-form
Imagery of starlings in a free-form, possibly symbolizing freedom and unpredictability.
Over these moors
Describing a scenic landscape of moors.
Where my heart lies
Pointing to the emotional or sentimental center.
Cemented in all of time
Suggesting a timeless connection to the heart.
And all past loves
Referencing past loves that have contributed to the emotional landscape.
Over on the hills
Referring to hills, potentially symbolizing challenges or milestones.
In five years still
Looking ahead to the future, projecting five years into the future.
All remains here
Asserting that everything from the past remains untouched in this place.
Untouched by the turns of life
Highlighting resilience in the face of life's challenges.
And I get lost in mine
Getting lost in personal thoughts or reflections.
I'll be still as the wind spills its body
Using wind imagery to convey stillness and calmness.
I'm breaking out of the line
Expressing a desire to break free from conformity or societal expectations.
I'll be calm as the winter storms surround me
Comparing calmness to the surrounding winter storms.
I'm heading out this time
Indicating a decision to embark on a new journey or venture.
Look into the stars
Encouraging contemplation by looking into the vastness of the stars.
I've been thinking more
Reflecting on matters more deeply.
About this whole thing
Consideration of the entirety of a situation.
Through the gaps of a moving train
Observing life through the gaps or moments of transition.
For who we are
Reiterating the question of identity and self-awareness.
Little do I know
Expressing uncertainty about one's own knowledge or understanding.
Come come and go
Highlighting the transient nature of things, including love.
And love
Emphasizing the role and impact of love.
We build up
Building up emotional strength or resilience.
I'll be still as the wind spills its body
Reiteration of the calmness associated with the wind.
I'm breaking out of the line
Reaffirmation of breaking away from established norms or expectations.
I'll be calm as the winter storms surround me
Comparing personal calmness to the surrounding storms.
I'm heading out this time
Confirming the decision to venture into the unknown.
Who plays the fool
Pondering who takes on the role of a fool after facing challenges.
When we've failed our last hurdle
Reflecting on overcoming obstacles or hurdles.
Who claims the crown
Considering responsibility for the consequences of actions on the environment.
When we've poisoned the rest of our lands
Acknowledging the current period as glorious despite fears.
These are the glory days
Reiteration of questioning fear during supposedly glorious times.
So why you scared
Emphasizing the connection between youth and taking risks.
We are the risks we take
Reiterating the importance of facing challenges with strength.
I breathe strong
Reaffirming personal strength and resilience.
I'll be still as the wind spills its body
Continuation of the wind metaphor for stillness and calmness.
I'm breaking out of the line
Reiteration of breaking away from established norms or expectations.
