10,000 Miles Away
Chasing Avalon's Mystery: A Journey of Dreams and Darkness
Lyrics
Hey hey hey on my way
Expressing excitement or urgency about being on a journey.
Going down sacred town
Heading towards a place considered sacred or special.
Hey hey hey how far to Avalon
Asking about the distance to Avalon, a mythical or idealized place.
Daylight been here and gone
Referring to the passage of time, with daylight coming and going.
There's a full moon out
Noting the presence of a full moon.
And there's darkness all around
Describing a situation of darkness and uncertainty.
Just to see if life is greener on the other side
Contemplating whether life is better elsewhere.
Or the skies just as blue
Pondering whether challenges exist everywhere.
Just to see if we can testify and never lie
Considering the honesty and authenticity of personal experiences.
Deep inside what moves you
Exploring the inner motivations that drive a person.
Look over yonder what do I see
Observing something in the distance, sparking curiosity.
Can that old boat be sailing after me
Wondering if past actions or decisions are catching up.
Should have oughta been there
Expressing a sense of regret or realization about missing an opportunity.
Ten thousand miles away
Feeling emotionally distant, perhaps physically distant as well.
And on the other side of day
Suggesting a separation or contrast between different times of day.
All the while we dream in brightly coloured lullabies
Dreaming in a positive and vivid manner, possibly about ideal scenarios.
Sleeping soundly in our beds
Highlighting a peaceful state, contrasting with the earlier darkness.
Who's to say that aint a bad moon rising
Noting a potential negative event or situation on the horizon.
Over everybody's head
Suggesting that challenges or negativity affect everyone.
Like a childhood summer dream we seem a world apart
Describing a nostalgic or idyllic past, now seemingly distant.
Sailing round the carousel
Using the metaphor of a carousel to depict life's cyclical nature.
Who's to say that aint a bad moon rising
Reiterating the idea of a potential negative event affecting everyone.
Over everybody's head
Emphasizing the universality of challenges or difficulties.
