Young man's game
Wisdom Unveiled: A Tale of Life's Ever-changing Game
Lyrics
There was an old man
There was an elderly man
Wise as oak
Experienced and knowledgeable like an oak tree
Suffered from the young man's game and threw away his coat
Experienced difficulties associated with youthful pursuits and discarded his coat as a symbol of letting go
He never came back again
He didn't return after that incident
He never came back again
Reiteration: He never returned
There was a young boy
A young boy
Enlisted in lost and found
Joined a place where lost items are kept
He had his whole life ahead but had his head stuck in the ground
Had potential and time in life but remained oblivious or stuck in his ways
Never understood why
Did not comprehend the reasons behind his situation
Never understood why
Reiteration: He never grasped the reasons
I would love to stay a while, cause I know
Expresses a desire to remain present for some time because of awareness
All things come to an end I said with a smile
Mentions that everything has its conclusion, spoken with a smile indicating acceptance
The ever changing variable of life itself
Refers to the ever-changing nature of life
Thrown to the top of an old bookshelf
Symbolizes the unpredictability of life, akin to an object placed high and out of reach
Hand written notes from the King himself
Written messages from someone significant (potentially influential or authoritative), but misunderstood and unfairly evaluated
Misread, and judged, not found
Messages misinterpreted, leading to judgment and rejection
Cause he
Unspecified subject (he)
And I
Includes the singer/individual
And you, decide
Emphasizes the collective decision-making in shaping our destinies
The fate, of us, you won't conside
Highlights the disregard for considering the consequences of actions
The love, the cause, the word, we're blind
Refers to love, reasons/causes, and communication, suggesting a lack of understanding or awareness
We fight, we love, we loose, can't hide
Describes the cycle of conflict, affection, and defeat, unable to conceal emotions
We're lost
Expresses being directionless or without guidance
I would love to stay a while, cause I know
Expresses a wish to linger because of awareness
All things come to an end I said with a smile
Reiterates the inevitability of all things concluding, delivered with a smile
