The Idea Is Good But The World Isn't Ready Yet
Ideas Ahead of Time: A Song Reflecting Society's Readiness
Lyrics
Go to a station in the so-called spring again
Going to a place, perhaps metaphorically representing a fresh start or a new beginning.
Say hello to a stranger that comes out a train
Greeting a stranger arriving on a train, initiating a casual interaction.
Invite him for a coke in the snack bar straight ahead
Proposing a friendly gesture, like offering a drink, aiming for a conversation.
Maybe he got problems and wants to talk about that
Suggesting the possibility of the stranger having personal issues and being open to discussing them.
Probably he has no time, I bet
Speculating that the stranger might not have the time for the proposed interaction.
The idea is good but the world isn't ready yet
Expressing the idea's goodness but acknowledging that the world might not be receptive or ready for it.
Ride with the bicycle to another part of the city
Changing location, attempting to connect with someone who may not share mutual feelings.
Say "hello" to a girl that maybe doesn't think you're pretty
Greeting a girl, possibly facing rejection due to differing perceptions of attractiveness.
Invite her for an ice cream, "Cujamara Split"
Offering an ice cream as a friendly gesture, potentially to initiate a conversation about her problems.
Maybe she got a problem and wants to talk about it
Suggesting the possibility of the girl having personal issues and being open to discussing them.
Probably she has no time I bet
Speculating that the girl might not have time for the proposed interaction.
The idea is good but the world isn't ready yet
Reiterating the goodness of the idea while acknowledging the world's unpreparedness for it.
Yesterday at half past three there was another song to write
Describing the act of songwriting at a specific time, implying creativity and expression.
So I call up a girlfriend in the middle of the night
Calling a girlfriend late at night, potentially to share the newly created song.
And I sing it through the telefon and it says, "I love you"
Singing a message of love through the phone, expressing affection.
After I lay up I'm cried in a moody blue
Feeling emotional or saddened after the call, possibly due to an unsatisfactory response.
Probably she has no time, I bet
Speculating that the girlfriend might not have time for the emotional expression.
The idea is good but the world isn't ready yet
Reiterating the goodness of the sentiment expressed but recognizing the world's unreadiness for it.
Probably she has no time, I bet
Repeating the speculation about the girlfriend's unavailability for emotional connection.
The idea is good but the world isn't ready yet
Reiterating the idea's positive nature contrasted against the unpreparedness of the world to embrace it.
