Drifting
Longing for Home: The Tale of a Drifting Soul
Lyrics
You've been gone so long, all that you know
You've been away for an extended period, detached from familiar things
Has been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow
Your previous knowledge or priorities have been disregarded as you revel in something captivating
Of the beautiful strangers that whisper your name
There are captivating strangers who mention your name in whispers
Do they fill up the emptiness?
Do these strangers fill the void or loneliness within?
Larger than life is your fiction
Your persona or self-concept is exaggerated or dramatized
In a universe made up of one
In a world where you're the only significant existence
'Cause you have been drifting for so long
You've been aimlessly moving or living without direction for a considerable time
I know you don't want to come down
You resist the idea of returning to reality or normalcy
But somewhere below you, there's people who love you
There are people below you, possibly friends or loved ones, who care for you
And they're ready for you to come home, please come home
They eagerly await your return and wish for you to come back
You walk in a room and the world stops to stare
Your presence commands attention, stopping others in their tracks
You mesmerize all who are caught in the glare
You captivate and hold the attention of those caught in your aura
Of the spotlight that follows wherever you go
The attention and spotlight follow you wherever you go
Does it light up the emptiness
Does this attention alleviate the inner emptiness or void?
Larger than life is your fiction
Your self-image or portrayal is grandiose, beyond reality
In a universe made up of one
You exist in a self-contained world where you're the central figure
You have been drifting for so long
You've been adrift or disconnected from a sense of belonging for a prolonged period
I know you don't want to come down
You resist the notion of returning to where you belong
But somewhere below you, there's people who love you
There are people who deeply care about you and want you to return
And they're ready for you to come home, please come home
They earnestly wish for your return and want you to come back
