Hey Drifter
Wandering Souls: Unveiling the Journey of the Drifter
Lyrics
Hey drifter
Addressing someone as a drifter, suggesting a transient or aimless person.
As you jump on board a train
Encouraging the drifter to embark on a train journey.
Hey drifter
Repeating the address to the drifter.
Don't you see it's all in vain
Advising the drifter that their actions are futile.
All your efforts, all your strife
Highlighting the fruitlessness of the drifter's efforts and struggles.
Relentless pain cuts like a knife
Describing an enduring and cutting pain, akin to a knife.
And the bullets hit so hard
Referencing the impact of challenges, possibly metaphorical bullets.
You said you knew it from the start
Recalling the drifter's initial awareness of the difficulties.
Ah, hey drifter
Repeating the address and possibly expressing empathy.
Weightlifter
Introducing the term "Weightlifter," possibly implying burdens carried.
Hey drifter
Reiterating the address to the drifter.
Do you see a northern star?
Asking if the drifter perceives a guiding or stabilizing force (northern star).
Hey drifter
Repeating the address and indicating a sense of distance.
Can't you see it's all too far?
Suggesting that the drifter's goals may be unattainable.
When will you be landing there
Questioning when the drifter will reach their destination.
You'll disappear into thin air
Anticipating the drifter's vanishing without a trace.
And if we remember you
Reflecting on the potential memories of the drifter and questioning their wisdom.
It seems a foolish thing to do, ah
Suggesting that remembering the drifter may be a foolish endeavor.
Hey drifter
Repeating the address to the drifter.
Weightlifter
Reiterating the term "Weightlifter," emphasizing the burdens.
And you haven't found the answer
Expressing uncertainty about finding solutions while traveling lightly.
As you travel light
Acknowledging the drifter's belief in the righteousness of their path.
You still think it's right
Emphasizing the drifter's persistence in their beliefs.
You still think it's good
Asserting that the understanding of the drifter's perspective is clear.
We have understood
Stating a collective comprehension of the drifter's situation.
Hey drifter
Repeating the address to the drifter.
When you come home from your ride
Inquiring about the drifter's plans upon returning home.
Do you know where you will hide
Asking if the drifter knows where they will find refuge.
Will you get back to your place
Prompting the drifter to reintegrate into society.
And try to join the human race?
Posing the choice between pursuing lofty goals or joining the human community.
Or will you still chase the stars
Questioning whether the drifter will continue to chase elusive dreams.
And hang around in seedy bars, ah
Alluding to a potentially aimless and unconventional lifestyle.
Hey drifter
Repeating the address to the drifter.
Weightlifter
Reiterating the term "Weightlifter," emphasizing the burdens once more.
Hey Drifter
Repeating the address to the drifter.
