Yesterday recounts a journey in search of the ever-elusive self. It is an expression of the utter helplessness one can feel when experiencing little guidance on how to find said self; yet retaining hope that one day, things will indeed finally come together.
lyrics
Sanity's abating
Wish I'd stop participating
In this wonderful rendition
Of a red circus parade
Many things are wasted
In my search for those who've tasted
Something different from my merry-go-round
Lost in outer space somewhere
Teach me
Learn me how to fly
Hold me
Take me for a ride
Teach me
Learn me how to lie
Show me
Create for me a sign
I must acknowledge ignorance
In reference to this circumstance
When I speak I still don't know
Exactly what's been said
In this hour, I should digress
And think about my happenstance
But when I speak, I still don't know
Exactly what's been said out there
Teach me
Learn me how to fly
Hold me
Take me for a ride
Teach me
Learn me how to lie
Show me
Create for me a sign
Make me, mold me, teach me, hold me
Feed me what will make my soul beat
Make me, mold me, teach me, hold me
Feed me what will make my soul beat
Make me, mold me, teach me, hold me
Feed me what will make my soul beat
And all the rest might seem to just, fall into place
Make me, mold me, teach me, hold me
Feed me what will make my soul beat
Make me, mold me, teach me, hold me
Feed me what will make my soul beat
Make me, mold me, teach me, hold me
Feed me what will make my soul beat
And all the rest might seem to just, fall into place
Acting our a story
Gets me back to what you told me
So I'll keep this lucky penny
That you gave me yesterday
You get three cheers for staying here
My cloud has lifted, sound all clear
Right now my life's amazing
But I won't know that for years
