Boston to Beijing
Journey Through Time: From Boston to Beijing
Lyrics
From Boston to Beijing
Reflecting on a journey from Boston to Beijing
In a worn out time-machine
Using a worn-out time machine as a metaphor for time-travel or reminiscing
We tripped to stardust
Recalling experiences as if traveling through stardust
Dressed up like kings
Dressing up metaphorically as kings, perhaps feeling regal or important
We drank to finer things
Celebrating and toasting to luxurious or superior things
Boston to Beijing
Reiteration of the journey from Boston to Beijing
Lately I'm thinking there's nobody 'round
Feeling lonely or isolated, contemplating a lack of love or comfort
To love or to comfort me
Reflecting on past adventures that have ended, providing no emotional support
Yesterday's filled with adventures that end
Suggesting dissatisfaction with past companionship
And that's no kind of company
Expressing a desire for better company
From Boston to Beijing
Repeating the earlier journey from Boston to Beijing
In a worn out time-machine
Revisiting the concept of a worn-out time machine and stardust trips
We tripped to stardust
Reemphasizing the experience of traveling through stardust
Dressed up like kings
Continuing the metaphor of dressing up like kings
We drank to finer things
Reiterating the celebration and toasting to finer things
Boston to Beijing
Repeating the journey from Boston to Beijing
Those days were brighter than most I suppose
Acknowledging that those past days were brighter and better than deserved
Better than I deserve
Recognizing the positive aspects of the past
But time brings redemption, you know it brings the truth
Contemplating redemption and truth that time brings
Though most days I know I'd prefer
Acknowledging a preference for certain days despite the truth
From Boston to Beijing
Repeating the journey from Boston to Beijing
In a worn out time-machine
Reiterating the use of a worn-out time machine for the journey
We tripped to stardust
Reemphasizing the experience of tripping to stardust
Dressed up like kings
Continuing the metaphor of dressing up like kings
We drank to finer things
Reiterating the celebration and toasting to finer things
Boston to Beijing
Repeating the journey from Boston to Beijing
Gonna climb the mountain
Expressing determination to climb a metaphorical mountain and reach the top
Gonna reach the top
Continuing the theme of reaching goals and singing one's song
Gonna'sing my song
Asserting the intention to continue and not stop
And I'm never gonna' stop (2x)
Repeating the determination and commitment to never stop
Looking back I see the four of us then
Reflecting on the strength of a group of four individuals in the past
Stronger than any one man
Highlighting the collective strength stronger than any individual
Filled with intentions to right all the wrongs
Expressing intentions to correct past wrongs
Beautiful, noble and grand
Describing the group as beautiful, noble, and grand
From Boston to Beijing
Repeating the journey from Boston to Beijing
In a worn out time-machine
Reiterating the use of a worn-out time machine for the journey
We tripped to stardust
Reemphasizing the experience of tripping to stardust
Dressed up like kings
Continuing the metaphor of dressing up like kings
We drank to finer things
Reiterating the celebration and toasting to finer things
Boston to Beijing
Repeating the journey from Boston to Beijing
