One of the best songs I've heard...
Yes, I just gotta post this. This is Pink Floyd's "Time" from their Dark Side of The Moon album:
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have gone behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say Home, home again I like to be here when I can And when I come home cold and tired Its good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field the tolling of the iron bell calls the faithful to their knees to hear the softly spoken magic spell Basically from what I can understand is that when you're young it seems like you have unlimited time to do anything you want, but when you get older you can't do any of those things anymore, and that you regret not having experienced those things. I think at the end he is using his time as he wants, doing anything he wants, not caring about the future. Great song   |

That is the best song imo, on possibly their best album (all in all, I still like the album 'wish you were here' just a bit better). And I think you hit the nail on the head on what the song represents mythical.
