Lyrics
We turn our heads, lower the eyes
We avoid facing reality and lower our gaze.
Is it painful, too disgraceful to be seen
Questioning if the truth is too painful or shameful to confront openly.
We build a castle weak but high
We construct a fragile but towering fortress.
Walls to ward off rude awakenings from a dream
The walls protect us from abrupt awakenings, shielding us from harsh truths in our dreams.
The castle then the ruins left
The castle eventually crumbles, leaving ruins behind.
The load of a thousand dreams
We carry the burden of numerous unfulfilled dreams.
Beyond the reach of eyes and ears
These dreams are beyond perception, hidden from our senses.
Horizons call and seem to hold
Longings and aspirations appear tangible but elusive on the distant horizons.
Life of gold
Referencing an elusive and desirable existence symbolized as a 'Life of Gold.'
We carry on and bravely bear
We persist and courageously endure the challenges of passing years.
The weight of years in which we'll face the odds
Bearing the weight of time during which we confront uncertainties.
For all we know you will be there
Expressing uncertainty about the presence of someone in the future.
The masquerade goes on forever and we're caught for life
Describing an enduring facade (masquerade) that continues indefinitely, trapping us for life.
An endless journey guided by
Our journey is unending, guided by powerful forces.
The pull of of mighty streams
Being influenced by compelling currents or influences.
Beyond the reach of eyes and ears
Similar to line 8, beyond the grasp of our senses.
Horizons call and seem to hold
Hopeful yet elusive horizons that appear to possess something meaningful.
Life of gold
Reiteration of the elusive and precious 'Life of Gold.'
Many a morning you'll wake up and find
Awake to discover that certain things are right or correct.
That it's right
The realization that having only the person by one's side is sufficient.
Only you by me side
The importance of someone being there and expressing the need for their presence.
Needing me, say you do
Requesting emotional support and assurance.
Let me see you through
Inviting someone to let the speaker assist them through challenges.
