Castaway
Franco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Step to the farthest side of my dream
Be careful of what you might see
So careless inside I'm dying
Slowly

Sail into my wildest dream
Wrapped up like a little bum's shoelace
High strung but I am trying
Hopelessly

On my own castaway
Trapped and caught in between
Darkened skies, tidal waves
But I am moving on

See through the hollowed eyes of my dream
Psycho traumatic hypnotic scene
A mountain of dust to ponder over

On my own castaway
Trapped and caught in between
Darkened skies, tidal waves
But I am moving on

Well I'm blind
Reaction too late
I'm behind but catch me I'm moving on
And on...

On my own castaway
Trapped and caught in between
Darkened skies, tidal waves
But I am moving on





And on...

Line by Line Meaning

Step to the farthest side of my dream
Take a leap of faith towards the outermost limit of my aspirations


Be careful of what you might see
Beware of the potential consequences of your curiosity


So careless inside I'm dying
I feel reckless and indifferent, yet inwardly I am slowly perishing


Sail into my wildest dream
Embark on a voyage towards my most daring reverie


Wrapped up like a little bum's shoelace
Inextricably bound up and entangled like a pauper's footwear


High strung but I am trying
Nervous and tense but striving to succeed


Hopelessly
Despite my efforts, I feel devoid of hope


On my own castaway
Alone and abandoned, like a solitary figure washed ashore


Trapped and caught in between
Stuck and ensnared in a difficult situation


Darkened skies, tidal waves
Overwhelming challenges and hardships


But I am moving on
Nevertheless, I am progressing and persevering


See through the hollowed eyes of my dream
Viewing reality from the perspective of my idealized vision, which reveals its emptiness


Psycho traumatic hypnotic scene
A terrifying, haunting image etched into my psyche


A mountain of dust to ponder over
A great quantity of meaningless and perplexing thoughts to contemplate


Well I'm blind
I am ignorant and oblivious to the truth


Reaction too late
My response is overdue, and ineffective as a result


I'm behind but catch me I'm moving on
Though I am trailing behind, I am still making progress


And on...
Persisting and continuing indefinitely

I'm a Singaporean and took a visit in the Philippines wayback 2019 I became curious when one of the Taxi app played this song, till now I'm hooked by their song lineup. One of the best bands, hope I can catch a concert this 2023 on my next visit. :)
