Welcome Back Riders
Embracing Resilience: Navigating Life's Ghosts
Lyrics
I've seen my fair share of ghosts
I have experienced my fair share of memories or remnants of the past.
But what scares me the most
The most frightening thing for me is anticipating the future.
Is seeing what's coming.
Expressing concern about the unknown future and what lies ahead.
Growing older and giving up,
Getting older and resigning to defeat, but refusing to accept it.
And I won't believe it. I won't believe it.
Expressing disbelief and determination not to accept the idea of giving up.
With sit-down strikes and gutters tonight,
Referring to protests or resistance, possibly against the challenges of life.
There's nothing left in this town.
Expressing a sense of emptiness or lack of opportunities in the current location.
We've all been sold, it's not rock and roll.
Commenting on disillusionment, realizing that they have been deceived, and it's not true rock and roll.
Don't beat us when we're down.
Pleading not to be mistreated when facing difficulties.
It's OK.
Assuring that everything is okay despite challenges.
You didn't even listen in the first place.
Pointing out a lack of attention or understanding from others in the past.
Welcome back riders, it's another rat race.
Welcoming individuals who face challenges, likening life to a rat race.
All of your words are safe until the show,
Suggesting that words are safe until they are expressed in a public performance (the show).
And soon the world's gonna know.
Anticipating that the world will soon become aware of the struggles or challenges.
An empty promise, so here's a toast.
Labeling a promise as empty and proposing a toast to acknowledge it.
From your empty office, no lawyer will take it.
Referring to an unproductive office space and the impossibility of legal resolution.
This case is as good as closed
Expressing disbelief in the potential success of a case.
And I can't believe it, I can't believe it.
Reiterating the refusal to believe in the outcome.
Away for years, and now you're here,
After a prolonged absence, questioning someone about their whereabouts.
So tell them where you've been.
Encouraging the person to share their experiences with others.
Wait in line, enjoy the ride.
Suggesting patience while waiting for something to return or happen again.
It's coming back again.
Hinting at the return of a significant event or feeling.
It's OK.
Reassuring that everything is okay despite challenges.
You didn't even listen in the first place.
Highlighting the lack of attention or understanding from others in the past.
Welcome back riders, it's another rat race.
Welcoming individuals who face challenges, likening life to a rat race.
All of your words are safe until the show,
Suggesting that words are safe until they are expressed in a public performance (the show).
And soon the world's gonna know.
Anticipating that the world will soon become aware of the struggles or challenges.
These streets are the same to me.
Expressing a sense of familiarity with the surroundings, suggesting a lack of change.
These songs won't mean anything without a place to call our home.
Stating that songs are meaningless without a place to belong.
A place to call our own.
Emphasizing the importance of having a place to call one's own.
I'm staying tonight.
Deciding to stay in a particular place for the night.
