Restless
Finding Freedom Amidst Concrete Jungle: The Restless Journey
Lyrics
the sky seemed far away
The sky appears distant.
i tried to make sense of a thoughtless day
Struggling to find meaning in a seemingly thoughtless day.
no disappointments stale words always know what to say
No disappointments, as clichéd words always offer solace.
i took a train to olympia and realized once again how big the world was
Took a train to Olympia, realizing the vastness of the world.
i had forgotten how to breathe, we sat on the mountain
Forgot how to breathe, experiencing a moment on a mountain.
it seemed like i could touch the sky, no distractions
Felt close to the sky without distractions.
and i thought about the word freedom and what it really meant for me
Contemplated the meaning of freedom personally.
because you see,
Introducing a reflective perspective.
sometimes i don't feel so free when i'm stuck here in the city
Feelings of confinement in the city.
i fell asleep on the side of the mountain
Fell asleep on the mountain, symbolizing peace.
and i woke up to a peaceful morning
Awoke to a tranquil morning.
i took a deep breath as i stared across the canyon exhausted
Took a breath, exhausted, staring across a canyon.
hard concrete screaming my name
Urban life with hard concrete echoing.
another year for me of worthless destiny
Expressing a year of perceived worthless destiny.
i've been waiting for the perfect time to scream
Waiting for the ideal moment to express oneself.
holding on and waiting for a better dream
Holding on, waiting for a better dream.
i let so many slip through my fingers
Regret over missed opportunities.
as i watched the clock fade into the morning
Observing time passing into the morning.
so i smoke another cigarette as the sun rose over the city
Smoking a cigarette as the sun rises over the city.
but it didn't shine on me,
The sun doesn't shine on the speaker.
sleep has never made me happy what's left for me here
Sleep doesn't bring happiness; questioning existence.
another lonely winter night, street lighs and a sleepless dream dismantled
Lonely winter night, street lights, and a sleepless dream dismantled.
words of indifference fall like rain
Indifferent words falling like rain.
immersed into reality we all search for inspiration
In the reality, the search for inspiration is universal.
sometimes it's really hard to find
Finding inspiration is sometimes challenging.
but i found it on the mountain, now i'm back and i feel like i never left
Found inspiration on the mountain, feeling unchanged after returning.
sometimes i don't know where to go
Feeling lost about where to go.
a friend once told me to follow my dreams
A friend advised following dreams.
but lately i've been asking myself
Self-questioning the meaning of freedom recently.
"what does it mean to be free?"
Expressing restlessness and seeking belief.
restless, someone tell me what to believe
Seeking guidance or beliefs from others.
i waste my days on an old fantasy
Spending days on an old fantasy, possibly unfulfilling.
it's not the way it used to be
Reflecting on a changed reality from the past.
