Lyrics
Hey oldtimer who you looking for
Addressing an older person and questioning their search.
You know less about me than you know of rock'n'roll
Comparing the speaker's mystery to the lack of knowledge about rock'n'roll.
That smile on your face hiding the void, the hollow shell
Observing a smile concealing emptiness or emotional void.
But I can see through the lies of the wasted times we shared
Seeing through deception in shared, wasted times.
Never asked for nothing never wanted to know
Expressing a lack of desire for information or favors.
With your wicked ways can never tell who's leading the show
Uncertainty about the true leader due to deceptive behavior.
Too many times have you let me down
Disappointment from repeated letdowns.
Learned a lesson the hard way
Learning a lesson through difficult experiences.
Carry on come what may
Determination to continue despite challenges.
About time for you to stand up from the ground
Encouraging the older person to rise from a low point.
Head on and pick up the pieces from the lost and found
Facing and recovering from losses, starting anew.
Ready to crash and burn one more time for the road
Readiness to endure hardships for the journey ahead.
The only resilience you ever showed
Recognition of the older person's limited resilience.
Too many times have you put me down
Expressing frustration with repeated belittlement.
Too many times made me kiss the ground
Recalling numerous instances of humiliation.
Learned a lesson the hard way
Reiterating the learning process from tough experiences.
Not a single word left to say
Silence as a response, exhausted from explaining.
Too many times have you put me down
Repetition of feeling put down by the older person.
Too many times made me kiss the ground
Reflecting on being forced to the ground multiple times.
Learned a lesson the hard way
Reaffirming the difficulty of the lessons learned.
Got nothing more left to say
Expressing a sense of having nothing more to say.
Never asked for nothing never wanted to know
Reiterating a disinterest in seeking information or favors.
Hey oldtimer who you looking for
Repeating the initial query to the older person.
You know less about me than you know of rock'n'roll
Emphasizing the limited knowledge about the speaker.
That smile on your face hiding the void, the hollow shell
Noting the facade of happiness concealing emptiness.
But I can see through the lies of the wasted times we shared
Seeing through deception in shared, wasted times (repeated).
Never asked for nothing never wanted to know
Reiterating a lack of desire for information or favors.
With your wicked ways can never tell who's leading the show
Uncertainty about the true leader due to deceptive behavior (repeated).
Best kept secret like a living hell
Describing the situation as the best-kept secret and likening it to a living hell.
Waited too long for something you'd never tell
Expressing impatience after waiting too long for undisclosed information.
Waited too long for something you'd never tell
Repeating the impatience for information that remains undisclosed.
