and bless you toobless you, my child!
agree absolutely, it's just capturing lost youth and the sense of under-achievement that puts the crisis into "over-drive" that can be detrimental.
for example, it always amazes me to hear a guy sing "to all the girls i've loved before" with a forlorn look at lost opportunities and lost possibilities, resulting in a big bucket list for words left unsaid and deeds left undone. i'm still figuring that out myself but the lyrics of "my way" does help somewhat. end of the day, it's best is to be careful what you wish for - as it's said "what does a man profit if he gains the world but forfeits his soul"
"what does a man profit if he gains the world but forfeits his soul", wow another biblical gem! You are holy indeed!
