Far East Side
Navigating Life's Maze: A Melodic Journey of Uncertainty and Revelry
Lyrics
Home alone and up to no good
Feeling mischievous and alone at home
Stayin' up late just like the doc said I should
Defying conventional wisdom, staying awake as advised by a doctor
I've prescribed this medicine myself before
Previously self-medicated with a similar remedy
Roaming the streets don't know left from right
Lost in the streets without direction
Every store's closed within my sights
Surrounded by closed stores
Santa Claus in a minivan offers a ride
Encountering odd situations, like Santa Claus in a minivan offering a ride
And the waitresses are dying to rejoice
Waitresses eager to celebrate or express joy
And the captain can't control the noise
A captain unable to control surrounding noise
The cannons scream and the egg yolks fry
Chaotic situations symbolized by cannons screaming and eggs frying
Grease stained clouds on a clear grey sky
Imagery of pollution in the sky from greasy clouds
Without a life to waste away they
People without purpose wasting their lives
Laugh at jokes but don't know what they say
Laughing without understanding the depth of jokes
These actors never speak the director's mind
Actors not reflecting the director's intentions
Sharing secrets with a brand new stranger
Sharing intimate details with a stranger
Am I a friend or just an entertainer?
Questioning the nature of relationships, friend or mere entertainment
Always thought at some point I'd have to decide
Ambivalence about making important life decisions
And the waitresses are dying to rejoice
Waitresses still eager for celebration or joy
And the captain can't control the noise
A captain still unable to control surrounding noise
The cannons scream and the egg yolks fry
Continued chaos represented by cannons and frying eggs
Grease stained clouds on a clear grey sky
Persisting pollution and confusion in the sky
My mind anew
A renewal of the mind or perspective
Those times were few
Reflecting on rare moments of clarity
My dreams came true
Experiencing the realization of dreams
But where were you?
Expressing a sense of absence or betrayal from someone
Certainty what a roll of the dice
Highlighting the uncertainty inherent in life
Open my ears to conflicting advice
Listening to conflicting advice and perspectives
A simple game where the rules are never read
Life portrayed as a game with unclear rules
And the waitresses are dying to rejoice
Waitresses still eager for celebration or joy (repeated)
And the captain can't control the noise
A captain still unable to control surrounding noise (repeated)
The cannons scream and the egg yolks fry
Continued chaos represented by cannons and frying eggs (repeated)
Grease stained clouds on a clear grey sky
Persisting pollution and confusion in the sky (repeated)
And the waitresses are dying to rejoice
Waitresses still eager for celebration or joy (repeated)
And the captain can't control the noise
A captain still unable to control surrounding noise (repeated)
The cannons scream and the egg yolks fry
Continued chaos represented by cannons and frying eggs (repeated)
Grease stained clouds on a clear grey sky
Persisting pollution and confusion in the sky (repeated)
