Here I Go Again
Sailing Through Life's Joke: A Tale of Outlaws and Loneliness
Lyrics
So we packed our bags and headed for the north sea
Embarking on a journey, leaving for the North Sea.
There was eric, brian, freaky pete, charlie, frankie lee and me
List of individuals on the journey: Eric, Brian, Freaky Pete, Charlie, Frankie Lee, and the narrator.
I was feeling homesick but I was in good company
The narrator feels homesick but is in good company.
We went sailing
The group goes sailing.
We came ashore long before the fighting broke
Arrived ashore before a conflict, headed for the city.
Saw the sign and headed for the big smoke
Noticed a sign and went towards the urban area.
We met an old woman of the roads, she said "this life is but a joke"
Encountered an old woman of the roads, who expressed a cynical view of life.
But we kept on trucking
Despite challenges, the group persisted in their journey.
I'm always thinking, I'm thinking
The narrator is introspective and frequently contemplates.
I'm thinking how much I think about it all
Continued introspection about the significance of various thoughts.
While you're just dreaming, just dreaming, just dreaming
Contrasts the narrator's thinking with someone else's mere dreaming.
Had you dreamt it all
Implies that the other person's dreams may not materialize.
But I'm the one who's fallen
The narrator has fallen or encountered challenges.
The one you hear
The narrator's voice is heard or recognized.
Here calling across your floor
The narrator is reaching out emotionally or physically.
Here I go again feeling low down
Expressing a recurring feeling of being down or sad.
I'll never know, but then I came from the wrong side of town
Uncertain about certain aspects of life due to origins from the wrong side of town.
We were like the lonesome outlaws
Describing the group as outlaws, possibly isolated or unconventional.
We would go which way the wind did blow
Being adaptable, going with the flow like the wind.
Down the open trail that nobody knows
Choosing a less traveled path that is unknown to others.
Sometimes it gets lonesome
Acknowledging the occasional loneliness on the journey.
But there you go feeling low down
Reiterating the feeling of being down or low.
