Lyrics
You said the world was losing all its lustre
You mentioned that the world is losing its shine or appeal.
You realised each day you're growing old
You've come to the realization that each passing day marks the process of aging.
And the future stretches out there between us
The future is a vast expanse between us, and our choices determine whether it will be distant or unfeeling.
And we decide if we want it to be cold
We have the power to decide if the future will be emotionally cold or not.
But don't be a bad bohemian
An urging refrain advising against adopting a negative or rebellious lifestyle.
Don't be a bad bohemian
-Don't be a bad bohemian
-Don't be a bad bohemian
-It's sad now how the glass looks rather empty
The current state is depicted as sad, with an emptiness reflected in the glass.
The formulation of the elements makes you yearn
The combination of fundamental elements creates a yearning or desire for something more.
What's done is done, and there'll be no redemption
Past actions are irreversible, and there is no possibility of redemption.
Just periodic tables to be learned
The reference to periodic tables implies a focus on scientific or systematic learning.
But don't be a bad bohemian

Don't be a bad bohemian
-Don't be a bad bohemian
-Don't be a bad bohemian
-Oh, don't let us die
An appeal to avoid spiritual or creative death while still alive.
While we are still alive
-Oh, don't let us die
-While we are still alive
-While we are still alive
-Search every default payoff
Encouraging the search for unconventional solutions or outcomes.
Search out there looking chaos
Encouragement to explore chaos or disorder in the pursuit of something meaningful.
We'll do it fast, we'll do it clean and true
A commitment to achieving goals quickly, cleanly, and authentically.
Because you're bad, you're bad, you're bad
A acknowledgment of being flawed or "bad" but also recognizing it.
You know it, and you're bad, you're bad
-Don't be a bad bohemian
Reiteration of the advice against adopting a negative or rebellious lifestyle.
Oh, don't let us die

Final repetition of the advice not to adopt a negative or rebellious lifestyle.
Don't be a bad bohemian
-Don't be a bad bohemian
-Don't be a bad bohemian
-Don't be a bad bohemian
Final plea to avoid being a "bad bohemian."
