Lyrics
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
Embarking on a journey from a prosperous place (coast of gold) to various locations worldwide (seven seas).
I'm travelling on, far and wide
Continuing the journey extensively.
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself,
Feeling disconnected and unfamiliar with one's own self.
And all the things I sometimes do
Engaging in actions that seem foreign or uncharacteristic.
It isn't me but someone else.
Acknowledging that the behaviors observed don't align with the individual's true identity.
I close my eyes, and think of home
Reflecting on home with closed eyes.
Another city goes by, in the night
Passing through another city during the night.
Ain't it funny how it is
Noting the irony of realizing the value of something only after it's lost.
You never miss it til it's gone away
Expressing the sentiment that the importance of something is recognized only in its absence.
And my heart is lying there
Emotionally attached to a place, and the heart remains there.
And will be til my dying day
Committing to this emotional connection until the end of life.
So understand
Encouraging understanding of the following message.
Don't waste your time
Advising not to squander time.
Always searching for those wasted years
Continually seeking things that turn out to be unproductive or meaningless.
Face up...make your stand
Confront challenges and take a firm stance.
And realise you're living in the golden years
Realizing that one is currently living in a prosperous and fulfilling period.
Too much time on my hands
Feeling idle with excessive free time.
I got you on my mind
Thinking about someone constantly.
Can't ease this pain, so easily
Struggling to alleviate emotional pain easily.
When you can't find the words to say
Facing difficulty expressing feelings verbally.
It's hard to make it through another day
Enduring the challenges of each day.
And it makes me wanna cry
Feeling overwhelmed with emotions to the point of wanting to cry.
A nd throw my hands up to the sky
Expressing frustration and helplessness by raising hands to the sky.
