Lyrics
Waiting for the ride to take me somewhere
Anticipation and eagerness for a journey or experience.
Floating time, chasing the tide
Embracing the fluidity of time and pursuing the unpredictable.
My heart is crowded, foolish thoughts to spare
Feeling emotionally cluttered with frivolous thoughts.
Billions of galaxies away a star dies tonight
Reflecting on the vastness of the universe, symbolized by a dying star.
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Repetition of "Oh" indicating a musical interlude or emotional expression.
A ghost straight ahead straight ahead beware
Warning of an impending danger or challenge represented by a ghost.
Draws me near invading my mind
Feeling drawn towards the danger, infiltrating the mind.
A trap like prison I'm still misled
Being ensnared in a deceptive trap or situation.
Leaving a crater of gold and nothing behind
Leaving a significant impact but gaining nothing tangible.
I'm just coming up for air
Emerging to breathe or take a break.
But you must give up your safety belt now
Encouraging the release of safety measures, suggesting risk-taking.
If you stay wild and free
Advocating for a wild and free lifestyle.
You just hold it up for the whole world to see
Displaying one's liberated self to the world.
A lone wolf leaving the pack
Choosing independence over conformity, breaking away from the group.
Tempted by the sweet taste of a cage
Temptation by comfort, represented by the allure of a cage.
Yearning to find the inside track
Desire to discover a unique path or perspective.
We are but actors up on a stage
Acknowledging life as a performance with individuals as actors.
I'm just coming up for air
Reiterating the need for a break or breath of fresh air.
But you must give up your safety belt now
Persisting with the theme of risk-taking and letting go of safety.
If you stay wild and free
Encouraging a wild and free lifestyle for personal fulfillment.
You just hold it up for the whole world to see
Promoting the exhibition of one's liberated self to the world.
How could I not see?
Expressing realization or self-awareness regarding a gaze in the mirror.
The steady gaze from those eyes in the mirror
Questioning the failure to perceive a steady gaze from one's own reflection.
How could I not see?
Repeating the realization that the sought-after ghost is one's own identity.
That the ghost I was seeking was me
Recognizing the self as the elusive ghost being pursued.
I'm just coming up for air
Resurfacing for a break or breath amidst life's challenges.
But you must give up your safety belt now
Emphasizing the importance of releasing safety measures for personal growth.
If you stay wild and free
Reiterating the call for a wild and free lifestyle for self-expression.
You just hold it up for the whole world to see
Encouraging the open display of one's liberated self to the entire world.
