Gold from Afar
Chasing Gold: Embracing Imperfection and the Endless Journey
Lyrics
I am eaten alive
I am consumed by internal struggles or challenges.
By the chase of perfection
The pursuit of perfection dominates my thoughts and actions.
The ambition that burns from Within That will not Accept Anything
Ambition, fueled by an inner fire, rejects compromise or acceptance of anything less than perfection.
It's all gold from afar
The allure of success is apparent when viewed from a distance.
If you keep your distance, when you keep your distance The closer you get
Maintaining distance makes success seem more achievable, but the closer one gets, the more challenges arise.
The more it falls apart
Closeness reveals the fragility and difficulties inherent in the pursuit of success.
The goal is gold from afar and tin from up close
Desiring valuable achievements from a distance but facing lesser accomplishments when pursued up close.
The journey is mundane
The journey towards success is mundane and not always worth the sacrifices made.
And never worth the cost
Despite the challenges, the pursuit does not justify the associated costs.
And though I cannot get there And I am not fine here Weary, tired
Expressing weariness and discontent, unable to find satisfaction either near or far.
I can never get near
Feeling distant from the desired goals, unable to reach or attain them.
I always look at the summit
Constantly focusing on the highest point or achievement.
To the harshest track I do commit
Determinedly committed to the most challenging path.
I have the urge to leave
Feeling the urge to leave the current state or situation.
To set sail and go
Expressing a desire to embark on a journey and explore new opportunities.
I will not suffer this fate anymore
Refusing to endure the current unfavorable circumstances any longer.
I want to be, finally be
Aspiring to finally achieve a desired state or goal.
But I'm only becoming, always becoming
Continuously evolving and changing, not reaching a final state.
Never the final outcome
Never reaching the ultimate outcome, always a work in progress.
Always a work in progress
Acknowledging a perpetual state of development and evolution.
And for all that I've done
Despite efforts, feeling remorse for past actions or choices.
I feel regret
Experiencing regret for the actions taken.
That I cannot grasp
Unable to fully comprehend or understand the situation.
Cannot comprehend
Unable to grasp the complexities of the goals or challenges.
That the goal is to be becoming
Realizing that the objective is continuous self-improvement.
Always becoming
Emphasizing the perpetual nature of the journey toward self-betterment.
Always becoming more
Continually evolving and progressing towards personal growth.
