HIGH MILEAGE
Echoes of Dreams: Navigating Life's High Mileage
Lyrics
Got high mileage
Expressing having experienced a lot or endured challenges
But I'm still smiling some
Despite challenges, maintaining a positive outlook
This engine's broke down
Facing a breakdown in life or a situation
Now every part looks old
Appearances suggest wear and tear despite being young
When it's still young
Contrasting the apparent age with the actual youthfulness
Walked our old neighborhood
Revisiting past memories or experiences
And passed the place you stood
Recalling a specific location related to the past
With those ultimatums
Remembering past decisive moments
That saved me every time I lost my head
Gratitude for past interventions in times of trouble
But you can't figure it out
Difficulty understanding a situation or relationship
Any more than I can now
Mutual confusion or lack of clarity
We're both still stuck in the sound
Stuck in the lingering effects of past dreams
Of the echos of our dreams
Residual impact of aspirations
From back before we had
Reflecting on dreams before having the means to achieve them
The means to stomp them out
The inability to suppress or overcome dreams
Friends came and passed by
People entering and leaving life in a systematic way
On an assembly line
Building and letting go of relationships
We built them up then
The cyclical nature of forming and releasing connections
Sent them off to market
Sending off friends to explore other opportunities
Somewhere else
The idea of a distant, separate place
So what is it worth then
Questioning the value of arguments
To build an argument
Building a case for truth that may never be conclusive
For what the truth is
Skepticism about reaching a definitive truth
When no one ever gets there in the end
The futility of seeking ultimate answers
All our friends still live there
Mental presence of past connections
In my head
The persistence of unresolved issues in the mind
And they can't figure it out
Continued confusion among remembered friends
Any more than we can now
Shared uncertainty and confusion in the present
We're all still stuck in the sound
Remaining entrapped in the echoes of dreams
Of the echos of our dreams
Persisting impact of past aspirations
From back before we had
Reflection on dreams from a time of limited means
The means to stomp them out
Struggling with the inability to suppress or overcome dreams
We're all still stuck in the sound
Continued entrapment in the effects of dreams
We're all still stuck in the sound
Reiteration of being stuck in the lingering impact
We're all still stuck in the sound
Re-emphasizing the persistent entrapment
We're all still stuck in the sound
Final emphasis on being stuck in the echoes of dreams
