Chasing Dreams: The Quest for Inner Liberation in 'Probably Built in the Fifties'
Lyrics
I might be moving to the east
The speaker is considering a move to the east.
To part my ways
Expressing a decision to separate or diverge from current paths.
And I will try to get something
The speaker is determined to acquire something they currently lack.
I don't have yet
Desire for something new or unattained.
If I do, I will look at it
The speaker plans to examine the acquired thing extensively.
For days and days
Extended contemplation over an acquired item.
Until I will never forget
The intention is to create a lasting memory of the acquired thing.
I have heard this mental search
Reference to a mental search that has affected others.
Has made them all
Implication that the mental search has influenced many.
Take a look along the border
Directing attention to the border, possibly a metaphor for a threshold.
Having the urge
Expressing a strong desire or impulse.
For their minds
The desire pertains to the liberation of their minds.
To be lifted
Aspiration for an elevation to something new or higher.
To something new
Continuation of the longing for a new state of being.
I'm running to meet
Actively moving towards a meeting with their elevated or improved self.
My higher self
A commitment to reach a higher state of existence.
I trust the speed
Having faith in the process and pace of progress.
Until I have no need
Continuing until the speaker no longer requires progress.
To run anymore
Reaching a point where the need to run or strive ceases.
Miles and miles I run
The speaker covers vast distances in their pursuit of improvement.
I hear my feet
Awareness of the physical aspects of the journey, particularly the sound of feet.
And I hear myself breathe
Consciousness of one's own breath, suggesting physical exertion.
Heavily
The physical effort is significant and noticeable.
I trust the speed
Reiteration of trust in the process and pace of progress.
Until I have no need
Continuing until the speaker no longer requires progress (repeated).
To run anymore
Reaching a point where the need to run or strive ceases (repeated).
Miles and miles I run
The speaker covers vast distances in their pursuit of improvement (repeated).
