Eternal Pursuit: Orville Peck's Uncharted Odyssey
Lyrics
Never really felt this world
Expressing a sense of detachment from the world.
Haystack boy and dust-cake girl
Describing a rural or simple lifestyle with a boy and girl.
But I, I know we never tried
Acknowledging a lack of effort or commitment in the past.
Passing the days away
Passing time without a clear purpose or direction.
Dare me on a dime to say
Challenging to speak boldly or take risks.
That we had everything we need
Reflecting on having everything necessary.
Running out into the night
Escaping into the night, possibly seeking adventure.
Starry boots and open eyes, yeah
Adorned with distinctive clothing and alert, gazing at the stars.
You told me to shut my mouth and to my surprise
Recalling being silenced, a surprising revelation of survival.
Neither one of us has died
Emphasizing resilience, both individuals still alive despite challenges.
Washed up, nowhere to go
Feeling stranded with no clear direction.
Hate to say, "I told you so", but I
Reluctantly acknowledging a predicted outcome.
I'm just a nervous guy
Acknowledging personal anxiety or nervousness.
Target on our backs each day
Being a target with challenges each day.
Tables turn, or so they say
Highlighting the unpredictable nature of life.
But we, we know that nothing's free
Awareness that nothing comes without a cost.
Running out into the night
Repeating the theme of escaping into the night.
Getting low on luck, it's time to fight, yeah
Facing adversity, it's time to confront challenges.
You call me up and tell me all your frights
Sharing fears with a call, mutual survival.
'Cause neither one of us has died
Reiterating the resilience of both individuals.
Running out into the night
Once again, running into the night, seeking an escape.
Watch the girls, they're out of sight, yeah
Observing others, perhaps realizing the challenges they face.
I keep thinking we'll disappear but years go by
Reflecting on the passage of time without significant change.
Still neither one of us has died
Underlining the enduring survival of both individuals.
