i think the chorus of this song doesn't match up wit the verses, but the third verse really stands out to me:
"Simplicity
A heart of gold, an old head, and young shoulders
Quiet and lovely
Becomin' part of me
And now I see
From a handful of names and a thousand faces
One light, burnin', furiously"
it's about growing up/growing older, keeping a good heart, being wise like an old person but also young at heart. and also about choosing the right path. like it used to seem like there were a thousand things to do w/ your life but now it's clear what you want to do.
