Story behind the song
Another old song, written when I was 22. This version is a completely new production.
Lyrics
Oh yes, I know, I did have the intention
to join some kind of perfect social life
And although I preferred not to mention
I saw myself involved in the capital life
I sought to break up, move ahead to anywhere
where I could try my ambitions
Well, it had to be a change once breathing London air
It had to be the solution
But more than once I found myself on a park bench
Surrounded by the busy city life
Considering why nothing seemed important
Why nothing really stuck on my mind
So close to everything, and yet so far away
I just had no motivation
I claimed for company, and all I had to say
was: "Give me more inspiration!"
Well eventually I came to the conclusion
I had to get my confidence retrieved
In order to get rid of my confusion
And find something in which I could believe
I'd searched for something here to occupy my mind
It had to be something "better"
But I'd neglected what was going on around
I sort of didn't accept it
And it came to me that I'd paid too much attention
to things I didn't really want to do
But now I thought I'd found what was essential
As a certainty inside began to grow
I learned that life was more than pure philosophy
It takes some more understanding
to realize that there are things you just don't see
Although you think you're intending
So, in the end, my back to all intentions
of joining this beloved social life
And with the eyes of this new dimension
I saw myself involved in the capital life
