Lyrics
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
Embarking on a journey from a prosperous place to various destinations.
I'm traveling on, far and wide
Continuing to travel extensively.
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself
Feeling disconnected from one's true self.
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else
Engaging in actions that feel foreign, as if controlled by someone else.
I close my eyes and think of home
Yearning for home by shutting one's eyes.
Another city goes by in the night, ain't it funny how it is
Observing cities passing by at night, reflecting on the irony of missing things only when they are gone.
You never miss if til it's gone away
Realizing the value of something only after losing it.
And my heart is lying there and will be til' my dying day
Expressing deep emotional attachment, likely to a place or person.
So understand don't waste your time
Advising others not to waste time.
Always searching for those wasted years
Encouraging self-awareness and avoiding pursuits that lead to wasted years.
Face up, make your stand
Encouraging facing challenges and taking a firm stance in life.
And realize you're living in the golden years
Realizing the importance of living in the present moment.
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Feeling consumed by thoughts of someone or something.
Can't ease this pain, so easily, when you can't find the words to say
Experiencing difficulty expressing emotions, leading to pain.
It's hard to make it through another day
Struggling to get through the challenges of each day.
And it makes me wanna cry and throw my hands up to the sky
Expressing a desire to release emotions through tears.
So understand don't waste your time
Reiterating the importance of not wasting time.
Always searching for those wasted years
Continuing the theme of avoiding actions that lead to wasted years.
Face up, make your stand
Encouraging courage and determination in facing life's challenges.
And realize you're living in the golden years
Reinforcing the idea of appreciating the present and not dwelling on the past.
So understand don't waste your time
Restating the advice not to waste time.
Always searching for those wasted years
Continuing the emphasis on avoiding wasted years.
Face up, make your stand
Encouraging a resolute stance in the face of challenges.
And realize you're living in the golden years
Reiterating the importance of appreciating the current phase of life.
So understand don't waste your time
Emphasizing the value of time and the need to use it wisely.
Always searching for those wasted years
Continuing the message of avoiding pursuits that lead to wasted years.
Face up, make this stand
Encouraging a determined stance in life.
And realize you're living in the golden years
Reinforcing the idea of recognizing and appreciating the current, golden years of life.
