Lyrics
At night as I roll down the hills
Reflecting on a nighttime drive down hills
I see the city up in the sky
Seeing the city lights resembling a skyline
And the stars fall down
Observing stars falling and leaving a dark aftermath
Leave a blackened cloud
Metaphorically describing the impact of falling stars
Everybody thinks he's doing fine
Perception that everyone seems okay on the surface
Million miles to the other side
Sense of distance or separation from others
Everybody tries to do what he can
People making efforts to do their best
As I lay down the phone I hear about
Hearing about loss when disconnecting from a call
Losing someone in the end
Understanding the inevitability of losing someone eventually
Driving down the Hollywood lanes
Driving in the Hollywood area
I see the people looking down to the ground
Noticing people preoccupied and disconnected
And they're gathering money
People focused on accumulating money
It all seems so funny
Viewing the pursuit of wealth as peculiar
Is that all they can think about?
Questioning if money is their sole concern
And I will run to the ocean
Desire to escape to the ocean
I will run along the coastline
Yearning to be on the coastline
We'll be gone, no more worries
Anticipating freedom from worries
On the never ending shore
Imagining a carefree existence by the shore
The freeway's traffic's jammed
Heavy traffic on the freeway
Think about getting out and run
Contemplating abandoning the car due to congestion
Cause what's the use of getting short-fused
Questioning the point of frustration in a hot, trapped car
In a car which has been baking in the sun
Expressing discomfort in a heated vehicle
The daytime's over
Transitioning from day to night
And we're waiting all alone for the night
Waiting for the nightfall, a sense of anticipation
Cause tomorrow knows that it's time to go
Awareness of moving forward, leaving troubles behind
We will leave all the troubles behind
Preparing to leave behind current problems
