Eldorado
Jeff & Maya Bohnhoff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here it comes, another lonely day, playing the game,
I'll sail away on a voyage of no return to see
if eternal life is meant to be
and if I find the key to the eternal dream.

The painted ladies of the Avalon play in the sun,
take to the road, to the North there lies the chills of cold,
to the South there lies the tales untold.
But in between there lies the place to close your eyes.

And I will stay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.
I will be free of the world, Eldorado.

Say goodbye, the city's heroes sing, bird on the wing
feel, feel so free through the life upon the rooftop haze,
all the cheating and the broken days.
So through it all I see there's nothing left for me.

So I will stay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.
I will be free of the world, Eldorado.

Sitting here on top of everywhere, what do I care.
Days never end, I know the voyage's end will soon be here,
no eternal life is here for me.
And now I found the key to the eternal dream.

Then I will stay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.




I will be free of the world, Eldorado.
Then I will stay.

Line by Line Meaning

Here it comes, another lonely day, playing the game,
Facing yet another isolated day, going through the motions of life, feeling like it's all merely a game.


I'll sail away on a voyage of no return to see if eternal life is meant to be and if I find the key to the eternal dream.
I'll embark on an irreversible journey to discover if there's such a thing as immortality and whether I can unlock its secrets.


The painted ladies of the Avalon play in the sun, take to the road, to the North there lies the chills of cold, to the South there lies the tales untold. But in between there lies the place to close your eyes.
Transients frolic in the sunny fields of Avalon, venturing Northward to where the cold takes hold and Southward to where unknown stories wait. Yet, it's the in-between realm that's perfect for resting your eyes.


And I will stay, I'll not be back, Eldorado. I will be free of the world, Eldorado.
I choose to remain in Eldorado, with no plan to return. It's in this place where I can unbind myself from the constraints of the world.


Say goodbye, the city's heroes sing, bird on the wing feel, feel so free through the life upon the rooftop haze, all the cheating and the broken days. So through it all I see there's nothing left for me.
The metropolis' champions sing farewell while gazing at winged creatures soaring overhead, feeling invigorated by the hazy views from high up. Despite feeling like there's been much wrongdoing and despair, I glare ahead knowing there's nothing else for me in this space.


Sitting here on top of everywhere, what do I care. Days never end, I know the voyage's end will soon be here, no eternal life is here for me. And now I found the key to the eternal dream.
Sitting at the highest elevation, pondering my insignificance. Time drags on, but my journey is coming to a close. Accepting that eternal life eludes me, I discover the key to the eternal dream and that's enough.


Then I will stay, I'll not be back, Eldorado. I will be free of the world, Eldorado. Then I will stay.
Ultimately, my decision is made. I'll stay here in Eldorado and never return to the outside world. Being entrenched in this serene paradise is enough for me.

Znas brate ,mozda ce te interesovati da je natpis na ikonama u sustini stara bosancica.
Lijevo ti pise u gornjem dijelu sveti arhiel ,desno Java srp.
A javasrp bengalski znaci bio-zmija.
Samo ne znam sta krstovi i bogorodica imaju sa tim ,kad su simboli izdaje KiM .
Bozuri ,bo iu ri japanski znaci selo grobova .
Fuguivo je portugalski ,znaci bjegunac . To je ovaj lijevo ,erinej nikolaj . Tumanski izdajica .
I da ,kako znam ,vilina kosa bengalski se kaze pari cula .
A pro kleti je ,ceski znaci to je za kaveze . Anasta grcki ustani ,si ja slovenacki ti si ja .
Bagha ,bengalski,tigar ,vadita, bengalski kuca . Zastava bengalskih tigrova je naime nad kirgizijom ili kako ga nepravedno zovu kirgistanom . Chi rixi je grcki i znaci nije slomljen . Ali ne vahidin ,vec vahdin ,to je bengalski i znaci dobar dan . Zato mi znamo kad vukovi zavijaju ,tigrovi se bore . Jer gdje je izdajica ,tu je paras tos ,grcki znaci sadasnjost .
A bengalski bacaju novcanike ,jer vukovi nikad nisu bili dio cirkuske predstave zvane izdaja .
Da,nezavisna firma radi vazda samo svoje . Saitakki sto japanski znaci maksimalni broj pogodaka,norveski znaci rekao je hvala . Si on norveski reci dalje .
Dug ce biti isplacen . Svakom po zasluzi .Garancija devetog kruga.😊
Vidi se da si prosao svu golgotu borbi oko KiM . Inace bi znao zasto lijeva i desna strana ,krst i ostalo ne mogu biti zajedno .🤥
Ako je ludost biti svoj ,radije sam luda ,nego tudja . A prodane dushe nek mi ne pametuju zasto nish ima nais us .
