What Year Is This
Beyond the Pines: A Musical Journey of Longing and Transformation
Lyrics
I hope the ember brings you high
I wish the spark or enthusiasm brings you joy
You can catch me blowing smoke outside of my window at night
You'll find me exhaling smoke outside my window during the night
Cause so far I've done nothing accomplishing in my life
I haven't achieved much in my life so far
Living full of strife
Living with a sense of conflict or struggle
I hope it helps me fly
I hope this conflict helps me soar or overcome challenges
I hope I can help you fly away from the things you don't want in your sight
I wish to assist you in escaping from undesirable things in your life
Because the moment I looked in your eyes
Upon gazing into your eyes, I experienced a profound moment
I was transported to a place beyond the pines
It felt like I was transported to a distant and beautiful place
A place so far lost
A place that seems to be far from reach or understanding
All the lines threw signs, they seem to align
All the experiences and signs align in a meaningful way
And now we're lost in the wine
Now we find ourselves immersed in the enjoyment of wine
And everything's so fine
Everything feels exceptionally good
You lost, gave you some of mine and I'm singing
You got lost, I shared a part of myself with you, and I'm expressing it through singing
I'm longing for you
I have a deep yearning or desire for you
It's true
This feeling is genuine
I should've stopped and listened
I should have halted and paid attention
You're everything I'm missing
You embody everything that I lack or long for
Because when I moved to the big city
When I relocated to the bustling city
I didn't know what I was gonna do
I was uncertain about what I would do
Cause I'm so cooped up in my room
Because I spend too much time confined in my room
Every night I dream of you
Every night, I dream about you
Cause I'm still smoking until I'm numb
I continue smoking until I become numb
I'm not finished picking up the crumbs
I haven't finished dealing with the remnants of my past
I'm still dumb
I'm still lacking understanding or awareness
Painting pictures that I can't erase
I create images that I cannot easily erase
Dreaming up situations I can't chase
Imagining scenarios that seem out of my grasp
Will I ever change?
Questioning whether I will ever undergo a transformation
And now we're lost in the wine
Once again, we are engulfed in the pleasure of wine
And everything's so fine
Everything feels exceptionally good
You lost, gave you some of mine and I'm singing
You got lost, I shared a part of myself with you, and I'm expressing it through singing
I'm longing for you
I have a deep yearning or desire for you
It's true
This feeling is genuine
I should've stopped and listened
I should have halted and paid attention
You're everything I'm missing
You embody everything that I lack or long for
