Wayward
Embrace the Journey: Wayward Wisdom in Native Love's Lyrics
Lyrics
Wise man in a V-dub van
Acknowledgment of a wise man in a Volkswagen van
Said the fact that you're alive's a blessing
Highlighting the blessing of being alive
If the sun rained down and took your whole town
Imagining a catastrophic event and questioning the significance of stress
Would you care about stressing?
Reflecting on whether stress is justified in the face of a town-destroying event
Son, it's true that such a point of view
Advising that a different perspective can positively impact life
Can change your life for better
Emphasizing the transformative power of a changed viewpoint
So lace them boots, keep in mind your roots
Encouraging to remember one's roots while moving forward
But don't look back ever
Cautioning against dwelling on the past
Just go, yah go
Encouragement to keep moving forward
Wayward no role
Embracing a wayward, unconventional path without a defined role
Guided only by the roads and coast
Choosing directions based on roads and the coast
And know your going to give up the ghost
Acknowledging the inevitability of facing mortality
Going to go, just go
Reiterating the theme of embracing an unconventional journey
Wayward no role
Continuation of the idea of a wayward, role-free existence
Guided only by the roads and coast
Reaffirming the reliance on roads and the coast for guidance
And know your going to give up the ghost
Reiteration of the acceptance of mortality
Well I said I don't want to feel dead
Expressing a desire to avoid feeling emotionally numb
But you know I got to get my paper
Acknowledging the need to earn a living
If all I do is careen onto
Considering aimless pursuits as a form of failure
Nowhere then that's failure
Accepting the consequences of a directionless life
He just sighed, slapped the door to his ride
Describing a dismissive response to discussions about societal issues
Saying that you talking or the system
Emphasizing the need to break free from societal norms
The way I see it, you got to leave
Advocating for freedom from societal expectations
Be free of that dictum
Encouraging liberation from societal constraints
Now I go, just go
Continuing the theme of embracing a wayward path
Wayward no role
Reiterating the idea of living without a predefined role
Guided only by the roads and coast
Stressing guidance from roads and the coast
And I know I'm going to give up the ghost
Acknowledging the certainty of facing mortality
Going to go, just go
Repeating the theme of choosing an unconventional path
Wayward no role
Emphasizing the absence of a predefined role
Guided only by the roads and coast
Reaffirming reliance on roads and the coast for guidance
And I know I'm going to give up the ghost
Accepting the inevitability of facing mortality
