Lyrics
Don't follow the moon
Advising against blindly pursuing something transient or unattainable.
For the moon's moving always
The moon is in constant motion, suggesting the futility of chasing it.
Find a point upon the farthest horizon
Encouragement to set a distant, achievable goal or aspiration.
And there fix your gaze
To concentrate and focus on that chosen goal.
Should you choose to wander
If one decides to explore or deviate from the conventional path.
Don't be mislead
Warning not to be deceived or misguided.
For I've seen the dreamers high on the rocks
Observation of risk-takers (dreamers) facing danger but staying focused.
Keep an eye fixed dead ahead
To remain attentive to the intended direction.
You might say I've been lucky in life
Reflection on a fortunate life despite aging.
For I'm growing old
Acknowledgment of growing older.
With the peace of mind when I go to my bed
Sense of contentment before sleeping, assured of basic needs being met.
That I'll never go hungry or cold
Avoidance of hunger and cold, implying a sense of security.
There are those who go looking for luck
People searching for luck might encounter misfortune.
And it's them misfortune will find
Those who dream might be left behind or forgotten.
For you might say you're a dreamer
Self-identification as a dreamer, acknowledging a certain fate.
But, it's the dreamers that get left behind
Drawing attention to the plight of dreamers being overlooked.
Well I guess I'm a dreamer
Admitting to being a dreamer despite knowing the consequences.
What can you do?
An acknowledgment of limitations in altering inherent characteristics.
But there's something beyond the both of us
Recognition of something significant beyond personal understanding.
Though it may mean little to you
Conveying that this significant thing might not be appreciated or valued by others.
There are things words just cannot express
Acknowledgment of the limitations of language in expressing certain emotions or experiences.
And for these I'll offer a tune
Offering music as an alternative means to express what words can't.
And I'll do my best to keep an eye
Commitment to staying focused despite knowing the futility of the pursuit.
But I guess I'm chasing the moon
Admission of pursuing something elusive or unattainable (the moon).
Yes I
Confirmation of acknowledging the pursuit.
Guess I
Reiteration of self-awareness in chasing an unattainable goal.
Yes I'm chasing the moon
Confirmation of the pursuit of the unattainable (the moon).
