Lyrics
I took a long trip
I embarked on a lengthy journey
And now back again
Now I've returned to my starting point
To the point where I began
Back to where I initiated my journey
And everything I left behind
Everything I left behind in my past
Followed me, preceded me
Followed and preceded me
Souvenirs are patient, they only know
Souvenirs are patient, retaining the weariness they bring
The lassitude they provide
They only know the tiredness they offer
Feeding the void with emptiness
Nourishing the emptiness within with more emptiness
It took me time to understand
Realizing over time
It was always here, deep inside
That it was always present, deep within me
Always there, far away
Always there, but seemingly distant
The shining kingdom
Referring to a symbolic or metaphorical "shining kingdom"
I took a long trip to leave myself
I undertook a lengthy journey to escape from myself
To search for another me elsewhere
In search of a different version of myself elsewhere
I haven't found anything
However, I found nothing substantial
I just forgot what I was looking for
I simply forgot what I was originally seeking
I did forget what I was looking for
Reiterating the forgetfulness of the initial purpose
I've been lost
I have become lost in the process
Feeding the void with emptiness
Nourishing the emptiness within with more emptiness (repeated)
It took me time to understand
Realizing over time (repeated)
It was always here, deep inside
That it was always present, deep within me (repeated)
Always there, far away
Always there, but seemingly distant (repeated)
The shining kingdom
Referring again to the symbolic or metaphorical "shining kingdom" (repeated)
