Tom Jones
Chasing Dreams: The Unheard Melody
Lyrics
Just give me a minute of your day
Requesting a brief moment of time from someone's day
just let me say what i gotta say
Expressing a need to communicate something important
we can't go on forever, chasing dreams that aren't so clever
Highlighting the futility of pursuing unwise dreams endlessly
this old town with the bridge and the clay
Describing a familiar location with symbolic references
where all your hope will fade away
Emphasizing how hope diminishes in that place
You know it cuts me to the bone
Expressing deep emotional pain
I could've been the next Tom Jones
Regretting a missed opportunity for fame or success
And one day I'll wake up
Anticipating a future realization of feeling disappointed
And feel that I've been let down
Feeling betrayed or disappointed by societal structures
the system has failed me
Criticizing a system for failing to support or uplift
no hope will ever be found
Conveying a sense of hopelessness
I'm all about the ways of chasing light
Focused on pursuing enlightenment or positivity
Stars will never shine without the night
Emphasizing that success requires enduring hardships
Just give me a minute of your day
Reiterating the request for a brief moment to speak
just let me say what i gotta say
Stressing the urgency of conveying a message
This world didn't give you a thing
Implies a lack of support or assistance from the world
just a guitar and a way to sing
Describes having minimal resources to achieve dreams
i'll be that man that dwells on the past
Being preoccupied with past events or regrets
tell all the kids that life moves too fast
Advising younger generations about life's pace
I could have been well known
Expressing regret for not achieving fame or recognition
I could have been the next Tom Jones
Regret for not reaching a pinnacle of success
And one day i'll wake up
Anticipating future disappointment upon realization
And feel that i've been let down
Feeling let down or disillusioned
the system has failed me
Criticizing societal structures for their failure
no hope will ever be found
Expressing a sense of hopelessness or despair
i'm all about the ways of chasing light
Focused on seeking positivity or enlightenment
Stars will never shine without the night
Stating the necessity of enduring hardships for success
Amazing , degrading I'm a story untold.
Feeling both impressed and degraded by an untold story
this old town with the bridge and the clay
Reiterating the description of a place where hope fades
where all your hope will fade away
Emphasizing the decline of hope in a specific setting
You know it cuts me to the bone
Expressing deep emotional pain once more
I could've been the next Tom Jones
Regret for missing a chance at fame or success
And one day I'll wake up
Anticipating future disappointment
And feel that I've been let down
Feeling betrayed or let down by circumstances
the system has failed me
Criticizing societal systems for failing to provide hope
no hope will ever be found
Describing a sense of perpetual hopelessness
I'm all about the ways of chasing light
Centered on seeking positivity or enlightenment
Stars will never shine without the night
Highlighting the necessity of enduring hardships for success
Stars will never shine without the night
Reiterating the idea that success requires overcoming challenges
