Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Farewell to Illusions: Kaedyn Kashmir's Journey Beyond Yellow Brick Road
Lyrics
When are you gonna come down?
Questioning when a departure or change will occur
When are you going to land?
Asking about arrival or settling down
I should have stayed on the farm
Regretting a decision to leave a simpler life
I should have listened to my old man
Reflecting on not following parental advice
You know you can't hold me forever
Feeling a need for independence, unable to be constrained
I didn't sign up with you
Expressing dissatisfaction with a commitment made
I'm not a present for your friends to open
Rejecting being an object of someone else's desires or expectations
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
Feeling too young or inexperienced for certain emotions
So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl
Choosing to depart from a glamorous or fake lifestyle
You can't plant me in your penthouse
Refusing to be controlled or contained in a luxurious setting
I'm going back to my plough
Deciding to return to a simpler, more authentic way of life
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Embracing nature and its untamed aspects
Hunting the horny back toad
Metaphorically engaging with less refined or base aspects of life
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Resolving to determine one's own path
Beyond the yellow brick road
Choosing a path diverging from societal expectations
So what do you think you'll do then?
Curiosity about another's plans or decisions
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
Suggesting doubt or criticism regarding those plans
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics to set you on your feet again
Implying the need for significant recovery or rejuvenation
Maybe you'll get a replacement
Speculating about finding a replacement or substitute
There's plenty like me to be found
Recognizing others similar in situation or mindset
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Describing individuals with no wealth, scavenging for survival
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
Comparing oneself to others searching for scraps or opportunities
So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl
Reiterating departure from societal pressures
You can't plant me in your penthouse
Refusing confinement in an opulent setting
I'm going back to my plough
Reaffirming a return to simplicity
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Reconnecting with nature and its primal elements
Hunting the horny back toad
Engaging with less refined or elevated aspects of life
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Deciding to shape one's own destiny
Beyond the yellow brick road
Choosing a divergent path, away from societal norms
So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl
Reiterating departure from societal pressures
You can't plant me in your penthouse
Refusing to be contained in a lavish environment
I'm going back to my plough
Reaffirming a return to simplicity
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Reconnecting with nature and its primal elements
Hunting the horny back toad
Engaging with less refined or elevated aspects of life
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Resolutely determining one's own future
I've finally decided my future lies
Stating the resolution about one's future
I've finally decided my future lies
Repeating the decision about one's future
Beyond the yellow brick road
Choosing a path diverging from societal expectations
