Lyrics
So long, someone is waiting
Expressing farewell; someone is anticipating or waiting for the speaker.
I got places to go, I got things to see
Busy with personal journeys and experiences, a sense of purpose in movement.
No more procrastinating
No more delaying or putting things off; the time for action has come.
For this is the moment that was meant for me
The present moment is significant and is seen as destined for the speaker.
And I'm moving like a wave on the ocean
Metaphorical movement, possibly emotional, like a wave on the ocean.
Drifting to the opposite ride
Drifting towards the opposite side, suggesting a change or transformation.
Traveling with no destination
Traveling without a set goal; embracing the journey itself.
Just riding the tide
Going with the flow, adapting to circumstances, and not resisting change.
People they say that I'm foolish
Others criticize the speaker's choices, deeming them impractical or unrealistic.
They say that I'm living in a fantasy
Perceived as living in a dream world, detached from reality by critics.
I say, everything's easy
The speaker sees everything as easy and preferable to a futile existence.
It's better than living in futility
Choosing a life with challenges is better than a meaningless one.
So, I'm standing here in back of the curtain
Positioned backstage, ready for a significant event or change.
Waiting for the start of the show
Awaiting the commencement of a new phase, possibly a metaphorical "show."
Acting like an actor is easy
Portraying a role or persona is easy if one can let go of inhibitions.
If you can let go
Emphasizing the importance of releasing control and going with the flow.
Someday something will find you
Anticipating a serendipitous event or encounter in the future.
A magical feeling you could not foresee
Expecting a magical and unforeseen feeling or experience.
A feeling so devastating
Describing the intense and overwhelming nature of the anticipated feeling.
From that moment on your life's a comedy
Life takes on a humorous or ironic quality after a transformative event.
And suddenly you're light as a feather
Feeling light and unburdened, perhaps after a life-changing experience.
You're falling like a leaf from a tree
Falling gracefully, symbolizing a natural and unforced transition.
The things you thought you needed are fading
Realizing that previously perceived necessities are losing importance.
Your reason to be
The fundamental purpose or motivation in life is becoming clear.
