Wide Eyed Soul
Embracing Change: The Journey of a Wide Eyed Soul
Lyrics
Woke up this mornin’ as a guy you thought that you’d never be
Reflecting on waking up as a person the speaker never expected to become.
Ran downstairs, kissed your wife, and flipped on the TV
Beginning the day with a routine, expressing affection towards the spouse, and turning on the TV.
Sportin’ the suit you thought you’d never wear
Wearing a suit that was not anticipated, suggesting a change in circumstances.
Chicken grease in your balding hair
Describing an unexpected and messy situation with chicken grease in the hair.
The saddest face, devoid of care
Portraying a sad and careworn facial expression.
Wide eyed soul, where did you go
Repetition emphasizing the search for a lost or transformed essence referred to as the "wide eyed soul."
Wide eyed soul, where did you go
-Wide eyed soul, where did you go
-Ooooooooh
-Ooooooooh
-Ooooooooh
-Ran out of the house and hopped in the car
Leaving home and encountering a car issue (ajar door).
You hit the brakes cause the door is ajar
Braking due to a car door issue, possibly symbolizing obstacles in life.
You try to run as fast as you can
Running away from a situation, trying to escape a predetermined fate.
You swore you’d never be this man, oh
Expressing a sense of regret for becoming someone the speaker never wanted to be.
Wide eyed soul, where did you go
Continued questioning and lamentation about the disappearance of the "wide eyed soul."
Wide eyed soul, where did you go
-Wide eyed soul, where did you go
-Ooooooooh
-Ooooooooh
-Ooooooooh
-Take chances, be free
Encouraging the idea of taking risks and embracing freedom.
The world is big enough for you and me
Conveying that the world is vast enough for exploration and coexistence.
Invent yourself every day
Advocating for self-reinvention on a daily basis.
It doesn’t have to be this way
Rejecting the idea that life has to follow a predetermined path.
Two, Three, Four
Instrumental break.
Wide eyed soul, where did you go
Repetition of the search for the "wide eyed soul," emphasizing its absence.
Wide eyed soul, where did you go
-Wide eyed soul, where did you go
-Ooooooooh
-Ooooooooh
-Ooooooooh
Continued expression of longing or questioning regarding the "wide eyed soul."
