Far Away
Chasing Ghosts of Glory Days: A Journey Through Lost Dreams
Lyrics
Well they gave you everything you needed
Despite having everything needed, the person was unable to utilize it.
But you didn't know how to use it
There is a lack of knowledge or understanding in utilizing the provided resources.
Cause now you're sittin' in your room and you're scared and alone, not knowing where you're going
The individual is now in a state of fear and loneliness, unsure about their future.
Tonight as I drive up through the city lights as they
While driving through the city lights, the speaker reflects on the situation.
Dance above the sky to the sound of your tears
The city lights are described as dancing above the sky, creating a poignant atmosphere.
They're hitting the ground as they fall from your eyes
Tears fall, symbolized by the sound, possibly indicating emotional distress.
Your graduation gown lays on the blacktop in the street
Graduation gown abandoned in the street suggests a departure from past achievements.
And the smell of your old car makes you think
The smell of the old car triggers memories of better times, nostalgia.
About the glory days and the memories made of something way back when
Reflection on past glory days and the memories created during that time.
Oh man, those days are far away
Expressing that those memorable days are now distant and unreachable.
Well you built your legacy up but that don't mean too much
Despite building a legacy, it doesn't hold significant value.
Cause at the end of the day you're still waiting on tables hoping for so much
Even with achievements, the person is still working mundane jobs, longing for more.
At night you call your friends, but uh, they don't pick up
Attempts to connect with friends, but they are unreachable due to their own pursuits.
Cause they're out there living their lives, somewhere else
Friends are living separate lives, emphasizing a sense of isolation.
Your graduation gown lays on the blacktop in the street
Repetition of the graduation gown scene, underlining the theme of departure.
And the smell of your old car makes you think
Nostalgia triggered by the scent of the old car, reminiscing about past glories.
About the glory days and the memories made of something way back when
Reflection on past memories, emphasizing their distance in time.
Oh man, those days are far away
Final acknowledgment that the cherished days are now significantly distant.
