Dream of a Lifetime
Embracing Destiny: Defying the Odds
Lyrics
Got my hand upon the trigger of the gun
Contemplating using a gun, but hesitant to pull the trigger
But I won't fire
Decides not to shoot
Unless they knock me over
Condition for using the gun is being knocked over
There's a side street that I know will cause me pain
Avoiding a side street known to bring pain
So I won't go there
Choosing not to go to a painful place
I've paid my dues, no time to choose
Having fulfilled obligations and no time for choices
I carry on
Persevering despite challenges
The dream of a lifetime - dream of a lifetime
Expressing a dream of a lifetime
Fails to be reborn
The dream is not coming to fruition
Let the streets define my destiny
Allowing streets to shape destiny
The giant concrete towers
Describing imposing urban structures
The tokens of our doom
Symbols of impending disaster
There's a million different shadows
Mysterious and undefinable shadows
I just can't define, I'm off the track
Off the right path with no return
No turning back
No possibility of turning back
The visionary thing I lack
Lacking a visionary perspective
The dream of a lifetime - dream of a lifetime
Reiterating the dream of a lifetime not materializing
Fails to be reborn
The dream remains unrealized
The future is a gamble
The future is uncertain and risky
I stumble and I ramble
Stumbling and rambling through an unnamed town
Trough this town without a name
The suburbs are in chaos
The suburbs are on fire
No inspiration for those who feel defeated
But no-one can inspire
The game seems lost for some
Those who think they've lost the game
No heroes to celebrate
No celebrated hero
Anticipating a leader to guide out of the maze
Is waiting in the wings
No waiting hero in the wings
To lead us out of this here maze
Feeling lost and moving towards a bleak future
We're moving towards zero
Approaching a state of nothingness
And this will be our fate
This nothingness is our fate
Unless we find another way
Unless an alternative path is found
All together
Emphasizing collective action
It's the science of forgiveness
Referencing the science of forgiveness
The endless sense of wonder
A perpetual sense of wonder keeps going
That keeps me going on
The power of the universe in various combinations
It's the power of the universe
Overcoming pain and maintaining sanity
In all its combinations
Powerful forces that numb the mind
That kills the pain and keeps me sane
Expressing the dream of a lifetime remaining unfulfilled
And numbs my brain
The dream persists but is not reborn
The dream of a lifetime - dream of a lifetime
Reiteration of the unfulfilled dream
Fails to be reborn
The dream continues to elude realization
The dream of a lifetime - dream of a lifetime
Repeating the failure of the dream to be reborn
Fails to be reborn
The dream remains unfulfilled and stagnant
The dream of a lifetime - dream of a lifetime
Emphasizing the persistent failure of the dream
Fails to be reborn
The dream is consistently not being reborn
