Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Release foreign devotion
All the starters are gonna lit a start
(Desperation's gonna, take me all the way)
(Desperation's gonna)
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up, and kept on going
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
Life can come up creeping
It takes me by surprise
Seductive, the base don't just disguise
With the colored future
And all that it might hold
But I'm sure you might have heard
All that glitters ain't gold
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up, and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone (in desperation)
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
(Desperation's gonna, take me all the way)
(Desperation's gonna, take me all the way)
Life can come up creeping
It takes me by surprise
Seductive, the base don't just disguise
With the colored future
And all that it might hold
But I'm sure you might have heard
All that glitters ain't gold
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up, and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up, and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up, and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone (in desperation)
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
In desperation, in desperation
In desperation, in desperation

Grief for the ambition
The leaps for heaven fall short
All these scars are worth what they extort
