Analysis of Bleak shadow of my past



I had spent life for so long a wanderer
Following an uncharted road to nowhere
Searching for that unknown somewhere
Hoping that love will be waiting there
Now my life is ebbing, starting to wither
Where's the light, the end of my disaster
I'm nothing but a stardust, a lonesome rover
Please show me the way to you, my  dreamgirl
