A Man Without A Mission
Lost Echoes: A Veteran's Journey through Shadows
Lyrics
I'm a man without a mission
I lack a clear purpose or goal in life
And no direction
I have no guidance or path to follow
I go wherever the wind blows
I move aimlessly, influenced by external forces
Well they wrecked my brain
My mind has been damaged, possibly by traumatic experiences
With guns that sound like thunder
I've faced intense and destructive situations
And now it's no wonder I've been livin' life this way
As a result, my current lifestyle is not surprising
With my cardboard sign
I hold a sign made of cardboard, likely asking for help
I stand out on your street corner
I stand on a street corner, seeking assistance
You pass me by and you don't even know my name
People ignore me without knowing my identity
I spent half my life
I dedicated a significant portion of my life to a cause
Fighting for this country's freedoms
I fought for the freedoms of my country
But since I lost my wife
Since losing my wife, I'm lost and struggling
I just can't seem to find my way
My sense of direction is elusive
Well I'm a man without a mission
Reiteration of lacking a clear purpose or goal
With no direction
Continuing the theme of being directionless
I go wherever the wind blows
I continue to move without a set path
If you could spare some change
I request financial help or empathy
Or share some compassion, maybe
Asking for understanding and connection
Just sit and listen to some things that I have seen
Sharing the experiences I've been through
I spent all my time tryin' to find a new direction
I've spent time seeking a new direction in life
But I lost my mind
I've suffered mental distress, possibly due to trauma
One bullet at a time
My mental state deteriorated gradually
I used to stand up tall
I used to be confident and assertive
And greet the world with my convictions
I faced the world with strong beliefs
I used to lead those men
I used to lead others, but now I'm homeless
But now I'm sleepin' on the streets
I now sleep on the streets
With my cardboard sign
Reiteration of holding a cardboard sign for help
I stand out on your street corner
Continuing to seek assistance on the street
And you pass me by
People pass by without acknowledging me
But you don't even know my name
Reiterating the anonymity I face
I spent half my life
I dedicated a significant part of my life to a cause
Fighting for this country's freedoms
Continuing the theme of fighting for freedom
But the only break I seem to find is another man's dime
Struggling to find breaks or opportunities
(I'm a man without a mission)
Reiteration of being without a clear purpose
And a cardboard sign
Emphasizing the cardboard sign as a symbol of distress
(Just a man without a mission)
Reiterating the lack of a clear purpose
I spend all my time tryin' to find a new direction
Continuing the struggle to find a new direction
But I lost my mind one bullet at a time
My mental state deteriorated through hardships
Now I'm a man without a mission
Emphasizing the lack of purpose or goal
And no direction
Reiteration of lacking guidance or path
I go wherever the wind blows...
Continuing to move without a set path
