Fool's Gold
Chasing Illusions: Unveiling the Bittersweet Journey in 'Fool's Gold'
Lyrics
I'm on the wrong road it's the same old song
I feel like I'm on the wrong path, stuck in a repetitive situation.
Easy to see as the day is long
It's glaringly obvious, just as clear as daylight.
I can't be happy if I'm living here
I can't find happiness in this current environment.
We stay forever, my greatest fear
My biggest fear is being stuck in this situation indefinitely.
I tell you baby we're running out of time
I'm warning you that our time is running out.
We'll never get where we're going
We're not making progress towards our goals.
But in the end somehow I always seem to find
Despite this, I always end up discovering something disappointing in the end.
Only fool's gold waiting for me
I only find false promises or worthless treasures.
Down the line
This cycle continues into the future.
I had a dream we were on Lake Marie
I had a dream of a serene moment at Lake Marie.
We lay there drifting, just you and me
We were peacefully drifting together in that dream.
Sun beams dancing on the gentle waves
The sun's rays created a beautiful scene on the water.
A light wind blowing trouble away
A gentle breeze seemed to alleviate our troubles.
I tell you baby we're running out of time
Again, I warn you that time is running out for us.
We'll never get where we're going
We're not making any real progress towards our destination.
But in the end somehow I always seem to find
Despite efforts, disappointment always awaits me in the end.
Only fool's gold waiting for me
All I find at the end of the journey are worthless things.
Down the line
This cycle of disappointment continues into the future.
I keep on dragging you from place to place
I keep dragging you around from one place to another.
I see the truth but it's so hard to face
I understand the reality, but it's difficult to confront.
Ain't where we're living that's been so unkind
Our living situation isn't the problem; it's my state of mind.
Just the condition of my state of mind
It's not where we are, but my mindset causing trouble.
I'm looking back on everywhere we've been
I reflect on our past journeys.
The road ahead was so deceiving
The future path seemed promising but turned out deceptive.
(Well) I'm so sorry for the mess I got us in
I regret the mess I've caused us.
Only fool's gold to believe in
I only have false hopes or worthless beliefs.
Only fool's gold to believe in
Again, I only have false hopes or worthless beliefs.
Down the line
This cycle of disappointment continues into the future.
