Gypsy Soul
Wandering Souls: Embracing Freedom and Lessons in Jon Ward Beyle's 'Gypsy Soul'
Lyrics
There's a breeze that blows and on it goes until it reaches a lost one
There's a constant force (breeze) that travels until it finds someone who is lost.
She's the driving force, a guiding light of sorts, competition for the sun
The person referred to (she) is a powerful and guiding influence, comparable to the sun.
Beautifully free, no boundaries, no nothing, float away
Describing the person as beautifully free with no limitations, encouraging a sense of drifting away.
She's the teacher, you're the student, I hope you don't learn too late
The person is a teacher, warning against learning important lessons too late.
A gypsy soul made of fool's gold and a heart as hard as nails
Characterizing the individual as having a free-spirited nature but with a tough and resilient heart.
She'll push you down to pick you off the ground, she's the wind in her own sails
Depicting a supportive yet challenging nature, symbolized by pushing down to lift someone up.
It's a wide world and how will life unfurl when you're living in your mind?
Questioning how life unfolds when one is absorbed in their thoughts and imagination.
It's only with that gypsy wind you'll have the chance to open your eyes
Emphasizing the transformative power of a free-spirited (gypsy) approach to life.
Scenes of life unfolding, I've been holding myself back
Observing scenes of life happening while acknowledging personal restraint or hesitation.
I was shown the way, I wish that I could say I didn't wander from that path
Reflecting on a divergence from a guided path, expressing a wish to stay on course.
A gypsy soul made of fool's gold and a heart as hard as nails
Reiteration of the gypsy nature, emphasizing both freedom and toughness of the heart.
She'll push you down to pick you off the ground, she's the wind in her own sails
Repeating the supportive yet challenging aspect, symbolizing personal growth.
Hold out your hand, I promise I'll take it this time
An invitation or assurance to offer support and connection.
A gypsy soul made of fool's gold and a heart as hard as nails
Recapitulation of the gypsy nature, highlighting the duality of the person's character.
She'll push you down to pick you off the ground
Reiterating the supportive and uplifting nature, symbolizing resilience.
She makes the birds go quiet just to hear her sound
Describing the person's influence on the environment, making an impact even on nature.
You can try to hold on, but she'll spin you around
Acknowledging the difficulty of holding on to such a free-spirited force.
She'll push you down to pick you off the ground
Repeating the idea of challenges leading to personal growth and elevation.
She's the wind in her own sails
Reaffirming the person's self-driven and independent nature.
Yeah, she's the wind in her own sails
Restating the person's self-sufficiency and autonomy.
