Stay Gold
Embracing Change: A Journey Beyond Familiar Streets
Lyrics
Waking up on the same old block
Waking up in a familiar place
Where I've been the last four years
Been in this location for the past four years
Went to our favorite pub
Visited a favored pub
Where we gave all our cheers
Where moments of celebration were shared
It all stays the same
Everything remains unchanged
Oh it's such a shame
Expressing regret for the lack of change
Everyone is chasing fame
Observing others striving for fame
But they refuse to play the game
But refusing to engage in the same pursuit
And I've been wasting all my time
Spent time unproductively
Listening to what my friends have to say
Listening too much to friends' advice
And now it's finally time for me
Realizing the need for personal choices
To start really doing things my own way
Determined to start following one's own path
Woah oh oh
A vocal expression for emphasis
I walk down our favorite street
Walking through a familiar street
Where we always used to meet
A spot of frequent meetings in the past
The sun glistened off your hair
Recalling the beauty of the sun reflecting off someone's hair
When we never used to care
A time when carefree attitudes prevailed
Now I'm leaving here
Departing from this place
I can't stay another year
Expressing the need to move on
With so little less to say
Having fewer reasons to stay
There's no reason to stay
Justification for departure
And I've been wasting all my time
Wasted time on others' opinions
Listening to what my friends have to say
Continuing to heed friends' advice
And now it's finally time for me
Commitment to self-determination
To start really doing things my own way
Emphasizing the need for individual choices
Woah oh oh
Reiteration for emphasis
And I've been wasting all my time
Repetition of wasted time on others' opinions
Listening to what my friends have to say
Continued influence of friends' advice
And now it's finally time for me
Emphasizing the decision to pursue one's own path
To start really doing things my own way
Reiteration for emphasis
Times like these
A reflection on challenging moments
It's like me to always let myself down
Tendency to disappoint oneself
And I've finally done all I can
Reached the limit of efforts to leave this place
To get out of this town
Intense desire to escape the current location
To get out of this fucking town
Strongly expressed urgency to leave this place
