Turned 57 today. Really had a crap life. This song takes me back to when I was filled with so many dreams, so much energy, people were cool, friends were true, and being youthful and free was a way of life. Trying to pay the rent with 10's, 5's, 1's and a few pennyrolls was normal. Doing it at 57 is pathetic. I don't want to get old. I want to go back. Back to the dreams I had, and this time, do it right.
How many of us now in our 50's(or late 40's) look back upon songs like this and realize how we took it so for granted back in that era when there were so many incredible songs/bands. . . truly feel grateful to have been in my 20's during the 80's.
Nothing comes close to the MTV videos of the early 80's...they took their time, put in so much creativity...videos these days go at about 120 miles an hour and they all seem the same. I miss this time period. :(
Life is so strange when you don't know
How can you tell where you're going to?
You can't be sure of any situation
Something could change and then you won't know
You ask yourself
Where do we go from here?
It seems so all too near
Just as far beyond as I can see
I still don't know what this all means to me
You tell yourself
I have nowhere to go
I don't know what to do
And I don't even know the time of day
I guess it doesn't matter any way
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
You ask yourself
When will my time come?
Has it all been said and done?
I know I'll leave when it's my time to go
'Til then I'll carry on with what I know
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
And something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange
