Burn Away The Blue
Igniting the Soul: Joshua Bond's Journey to Burn Away Life's Blues
Lyrics
I'm spinning through the same great ocean of time as everybody else
I navigate through the same experiences in life as everyone else.
I'm staring at the same blue sky as everybody else
I observe the same sky as everyone else.
But mine's a little brighter
However, my perspective is more optimistic and vibrant.
Mine's a better blue
My outlook is of a superior, more positive "blue" hue.
I'm sipping from the same jug of wine as everybody else
I partake in the same pleasures and indulgences as others.
I'm walking the same thin line as everybody else
I face the same challenges and uncertainties as everyone else.
But mine's a little higher
Nevertheless, my risks and efforts lead to a heightened experience.
I risk it for the view
I take risks for a more rewarding view or outcome.
Sundown they set the sky on fire
At sunset, the sky is metaphorically set ablaze with vibrant colors.
And burn away the blue
This fiery transformation symbolically removes negativity ("blue").
I'm floating down the same river of doubt as everybody else
I face uncertainties and insecurities shared by others.
I'm hearing the same crowd shout as everybody else
I hear criticisms and challenges similar to those faced by everyone else.
But mine sounds like a choir
However, my experience is more harmonious and uplifting.
Perfectly in tune
Despite challenges, my life resonates like a choir, symbolizing harmony.
I'm walking the same wild route as everybody else
I navigate the unpredictable path of life, much like everyone else.
I'm taking the same way out as everybody
I face the same choices and decisions as everyone else.
I'm such an ugly crier
I don't handle difficult emotions gracefully, expressing them in an unattractive manner.
There's nothing I can do
Despite my struggles, there's a sense of helplessness in changing my emotional response.
Someday I'll set myself on fire
Eventually, I aim for a transformative experience, symbolized by setting myself on fire metaphorically.
And burn away the blue
This drastic act signifies a desire to eliminate negativity ("blue") from my life.
