This song expresses frustration at the lack of emotional depth or human connection (romantic or otherwise) that can follow a stint of vice and hedonism- only after leaving the haze of short term thinking do the long-term repercussions become apparent.
lyrics
I was dreaming of a woman, yeah that woman she was perfect
I'd have no problems trying to find her
Just as far as I could see
So I went running to the mountains, I went running to the ocean
I went running just everywhere hoping she was waiting for me
But I never got wise and I never got saved,
Just sand in my eyes and a kick to the face
People say never look back learn to let shit go
Cause they're too damn scared of what the rearview knows
But oh I know I can't complain too much, I'm a little out of touch
And I'm sure that I'll be fine, I've been off love and weaker drugs
for quite some time
They're blowing trumpets ending dogs out, cause everybody wants to find her
She got a thousand different faces, and a million different names
But I've been baying at the wrong blood, and I've been drinking from the wrong cup
Finally figured out I'm blowing smoke in mirrors only got myself to blame
