I Used to Dream Big
Navigating Life's Maze: From Dreams to Reality with Martin Sillen
Lyrics
Its getting on my nerves
Expressing irritation or frustration with a current situation.
The second i cant find
Feeling lost or unable to identify a specific moment.
A single goal or tiny purpose
Lacking a clear goal or purpose, possibly feeling directionless.
I guess i wouldn’t be the first
Suggesting a common experience of yearning or desire.
With some longing on my mind
Reflecting on past desires or aspirations.
Hide behind the falling curtains
Conveying a sense of hiding or avoiding facing reality.
You know i used to dream big
Recalling a time when the individual had ambitious dreams.
But here i am just staying alive
Contrasting past dreams with the current reality of mere survival.
I guess its all about age
Suggesting that the shift in perspective might be related to age.
Though i’m not that old
Acknowledging that the person is not old, but still feeling the passage of time.
Feels like a every chance is slipping away
Expressing a sense of missed opportunities and chances slipping away.
I guess its all about rage
Introducing the idea that frustration might be rooted in anger.
Though i’m not that bold
Emphasizing that despite feeling rage, the person is not exceptionally bold.
To make sure thats every thing will go my way
Desiring control over outcomes but lacking the boldness to ensure it.
You know i used to dream big
Reiterating the theme of once having ambitious dreams.
But here i am just staying alive
Highlighting the contrast between past dreams and current survival mode.
You know i used to dream big
Repeating the notion of having ambitious dreams in the past.
Now all i about care is You and I
Shifting focus to caring about the relationship with someone specific (You and I).
Dont you think i need some time, to be better?
Expressing a need for time to improve or recover.
Dont you think i need to push more to get there?
Feeling the need to exert more effort to achieve goals.
Dont you think i should feel rich, with achievements
Questioning whether accomplishments should bring a sense of richness.
Dont you think i need someone, to believe this
Desiring belief and support from someone else.
I used to dream big
Recalling a time when dreaming big was a part of the person's mindset.
But here i am just waisting my time
Emphasizing the current sense of wasting time instead of pursuing dreams.
I used to dream big
Reiterating the contrast between past dreams and the current desire for well-being.
Now i just want to feel fine
Expressing a shift from ambitious dreams to a simpler desire for emotional well-being.
