Wild Horses
Breaking Fences, Embracing Freedom: Noah Gundersen's Reflective Journey
Lyrics
Always got a lot on my mind
There's often a lot occupying my thoughts
Feels like the net just gets bigger with time
The complexities of life seem to increase over time
Stretching out behind me
Reflecting on the past
Trawling the open sea
Exploring unknown or vast possibilities
Waste a lot of breath on the bullshit
Wasting energy on trivial matters
I breathe a lot of air that keeps making me sick
Engaging in things that negatively affect me
Or maybe just lazy
Possibly lacking motivation or clarity
A little bit hazy
Feeling somewhat unclear or confused
It's ok if you don't have the answer
Accepting uncertainty
The questions remain the same
Important questions persist despite lacking answers
There's a whole lot of people claiming their team
Many align with particular groups without true understanding
But nobody knows the game
People are unaware of the actual situation or rules
So give me a minute
Requesting time to reconsider
To come to my senses
To regain composure or understanding
To look out the window
To observe the world outside
And stop building fences
Stop creating barriers or limitations
All the wild horses
Metaphorically referring to unrestrained freedom
Just want to run free
Expressing a desire for freedom
I want to know you
Wanting to understand someone deeply
I just want you to know me too
Seeking mutual understanding
Point your finger at me
Challenging someone to confront
I dare you to stick it between my teeth
A daring challenge to face the truth
You just keep putting up crosses and sharpening nails
Continuously judging or condemning
As you wait for the cultural priest
Expecting guidance or validation from cultural norms
To hand down a confident sentence
Waiting for a definite judgment
To anyone accused of a crime
Legal implications or accusations
There's a thousand ways to blow it
Many ways to make mistakes
So don't even think about speaking your mind
Warning against expressing oneself freely
Maybe you would rather be angry
Choosing peace over anger
But I'd rather sleep at night
Preference for tranquility over conflict
There's a fraction to every outcome
Every situation has multiple factors
There's a spectrum of wrong and right
Moral ambiguity exists
So give me a minute
Requesting time for reflection
To come to my senses
To regain understanding or sensibility
To look out the window
To observe without restriction
And stop building fences
To cease creating divisions
All the wild horses
Freedom metaphorically represented again
Just want to run free
Desire for freedom reiterated
I want to know you
Yearning for mutual understanding
I just want you to know me too
Desire for mutual recognition
