No Way to Know
Wandering Souls: Unraveling Life's Mystery with The Red Clay Strays
Lyrics
Well, I've been running around trying to figure out just what this ole life's supposed to mean
Reflecting on the search for the meaning of life and the speaker's confusion.
Should I fall right into place and be another gear in the heart of this machine?
Contemplating whether to conform to societal expectations or maintain individuality.
Should I be secured by the chain that keeps me tethered to that cold floor?
Questioning the idea of being constrained by societal norms or obligations.
I can't see my future
Expressing uncertainty about what lies ahead in the speaker's future.
I guess there's no way to know
Conveying a sense of inevitability and lack of certainty in life's outcomes.
My old lady she kept telling me that all she wants to do is settle down
Describing the conflict between the desire to settle down and the urge to keep moving.
Oh, but I was born a ramblin' man and I bet that you can guess how that turned out
Acknowledging a persistent inclination for a nomadic lifestyle.
But does that make me crazy for picking guitar over picking love?
Wondering if choosing a passion (playing guitar) over a stable relationship is considered irrational.
I can't see that far ahead
Expressing the inability to foresee the consequences of the speaker's choices.
I guess there's no way to know
Reiterating the theme of uncertainty and the unpredictable nature of life.
There's no way to know what'll happen
Stating the overarching idea that the future is unpredictable and unknowable.
We all kinda wander our own way
Highlighting the individualistic nature of life journeys.
In life's long search for satisfaction
Expressing the universal quest for fulfillment and contentment in life.
I pray I find it someday
Expressing a hopeful desire to find satisfaction someday despite life's uncertainties.
So I'm out here runnin' around trying to figure out how it goes along the way
Describing an ongoing journey to understand life's complexities.
Don't you know I thought to call it quits so many times, 'bout driven me insane
Indicating moments of contemplating giving up due to challenges and difficulties.
I guess I'll keep on ramblin' til the day I hit that cold hard floor
Affirming a commitment to a wandering lifestyle until an inevitable end.
Will they be singing my songs?
Pondering the legacy of the speaker's artistic creations after their passing.
I guess there's no way to know
Reinforcing the theme of uncertainty regarding the impact of the speaker's life choices.
There's no way to know what'll happen
Repeating the idea that the future remains unknown and unpredictable.
We all kinda wander our own way
Reiterating the concept of individual journeys in the pursuit of satisfaction.
In life's long search for satisfaction
Emphasizing the enduring quest for contentment in life.
I pray I find it someday
Expressing a hopeful wish to eventually find satisfaction despite life's uncertainties.
