This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
You think nobody loves you / And I know that isn't true no / well can't you see what you mean to everyone Including me yea / And years pass by and your still here / Your trapped by your friends and your fears / But look out now because your giving up again / giving up again.
Chorus: Tomorrow seems so far away / When all of your dreams are at close range / And I know some day your day will come / you'll rise to the top you'll be number one / But now Is your test.
Destiny Is something Inside / Inside your mind It sits back and hides / But don't look back / Please don't let It pass you by / And somewhere under the sun / you'll find your purpose you'll find someone / And then you'll see / Its worth everything, everything.
Chorus: Tomorrow seems so far away / When all of your dreams are at close range / And I know some day your day will come / you'll rise to the top you'll be number one / But now Is your test.
Destiny Is something Inside / Inside your mind It sits back and hides / But don't look back / Please don't let It pass you by / And somewhere under the sun / you'll find your purpose you'll find someone / And then you'll see / Its worth everything, everything.
