Ennui

Many frequently fall into a state of ennui, boredom and weariness of the world, quietly struggling with the meaninglessness of life despite an incredibly fast paced life of constant stimulation. One escapes into daydreams and time goes by until we awaken from our reverie.

Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun.
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around.
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come.
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
but I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now.

Thought I'd see you one more time again.
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now.
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now. ~ James Taylor
