I never know their names, But i smile just the same
New faces...Strange places, Most everything i see, Becomes a blur to me
And i'm wasted because, The fast pace is too much
Here at the final push to the sum
If my old life is done, Then, what have i become? What have i become? [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/grandaddy/the_final_push_to_the_sun.html ]
Every now and then, The memories creep in
A breeze and blue skies, The trees and you and i
But if my old life is done, i guess that i've moved on
To new faces and strange places, Here at the final push to the sun
If my old life is done, then, What have i become?
What have i become? What have i become? What have i become? What have i become? What have i become?
I think it is about a person realizing their relationship is over and now they are lost and don't know how they got to this point. The person in this song doesn't remember who they really were and is now facing something new and stumbling through life in a haze (the fast pace is too much). He thinks about the past and it brings comfort, but it's not reality and he has to move on. A classic song about a person being lost in all aspects in life because life passed him by.
