What The World Is Waiting For
Discovering Life's Illusions
Lyrics
Here comes the wise man
The arrival of a wise person is imminent.
And there goes the fool
A foolish person is departing.
You see that burnt out world that he is living in
Observation of the desolate world the fool inhabits, exempting the need to search for rules.
I don't need to look for the rules
Expressing a lack of necessity to conform to established norms.
Here comes the donkey
Introduction of a donkey constrained by a heavy burden.
Chained to a ten ton plough
The donkey is tethered to a massive plow.
He'll never make that hill in a million years
Doubtful ability to conquer a significant challenge over an extended period.
Whip crack beating down
Description of a forceful whip delivering blows.
He loves his brother but he'd sell him for a fistful of gold
Love for a sibling, yet willingness to betray for material gain.
He needs a slave for his vision of the promised land
The necessity of a subordinate to fulfill a personal utopian vision.
No I don't believe a word
Expressing skepticism, rejecting the veracity of a statement.
Take me any way the wind blows
Acceptance of unpredictable circumstances.
You'll never know just what you want to do
Uncertainty about one's desires and destinations.
Or where you wanna go I think it's time
Recognition of the need to discover what the world anticipates.
That you found what the world is waiting for
The belief that it is time to uncover the world's expectations.
I think it's time to get real
A call to face reality.
Here comes the wise man
Repetition of the arrival of a wise individual.
And there goes the fool
Reiteration of the departure of a foolish person.
You see that burnt out world that he is living in
Reiteration of the desolate world inhabited by the fool.
I don't need to look for the rules
Reiteration of the unnecessary search for rules.
He loves his brother but he'd sell him for a fistful of gold
Reiteration of sibling love coupled with a willingness to betray for wealth.
He needs a slave for his vision of the promised land
Reiteration of the need for a subordinate to fulfill a personal utopian vision.
No I don't believe a word
Reiteration of disbelief in the spoken words.
Take me any way the wind blows
Reiteration of embracing unpredictability.
You'll never know just what you want to do
Emphasizing the uncertainty of desires and destinations.
Or where you wanna go I think it's time
Reiteration of the need to discover the world's expectations.
That you found what the world is waiting for
Reiteration of the belief that it's time to uncover the world's expectations.
I think it's time to get real
Reiteration of the call to face reality.
Anytime you want it then it's there
Availability of desired things whenever needed.
All you gotta do is stop it
The simplicity of obtaining what is wanted by asking.
On the corner and ask
Reference to a specific location to request desired outcomes.
Say hey you don't live today
Suggesting that one should act before it's too late.
Stop the world
Expression of a desire to halt the chaos in the world.
Stop the world
Repetition emphasizing the urgency to stop the world.
I'm getting off
Declaration of disengagement from the chaotic world.
I'm getting off
Reiteration of the declaration to disengage.
Can't get enough
Expressing insatiable desire or enthusiasm.
I'm getting off
Reiteration of the declaration to disengage with added emphasis on enthusiasm.
