A Rewrite of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'"

One of my friends suggested I post this. I think that writing out the lyrics in what I shall heretofore refer to as "Longspeak" really get at the darker (as "dark" as Journey can get) "motifs" of the song.
Lyrics by yours truly.
For comparison's sake, here are the real ones: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/journey/dont+stop+believin_20075670.html)


Merely a person of the female gender from a collection of houses and businesses ranging to what may be classified as a village to a small city.
Residing on a planet that necessarily leads to to the existential isolation of its inhabitants.
The person of the female gender that is in question boarded a locomotive, that was scheduled to run in the wee hours of the morning, to an indeterminate location.

Simply a young gentleman who, unlike the person of the female gender, was brought up in a larger collection of houses and business that is properly named "Detroit" (specifically in the southern region of said larger collection of houses and businesses).
This young man also boarded a locomotive, that was scheduled to run in the wee hours of the morning, to an indeterminate location.


‎(CHORUS)There are people, who are unfamiliar with each other, that are anticipating a certain event for which they are waiting along the sides of streets.
The vestiges of the aforementioned people are, like them, seeking an indeterminate thing when the sun goes down.
These people simply exist to find passionate meaning around lights that are propped up on poles.
While they shirk away from the pursuit of others in the darkness.


I, myself, must undergo great travail to attain sustenance.
All the people of this planet want a very exciting experience.
And they will wager whatever it takes for the possibility of having this experience
if they have tried before and failed.
However, some people will be successful in their endeavor
others will not.
Still others will wail cacophonous sounds of their own torture.
In this perpetually occurring film,
Which, redundantly enough, never reaches the conclusion.

(CHORUS)


It is preferable for you not to lose faith
While maintaining the imprint of your experiences
People who gather around lights propped up on poles.
It is preferable for you not to lose faith
While maintaining the imprint of your experiences
People who gather around lights propped up on poles.
It is preferable for you not to lose faith
While maintaining the imprint of your experiences
People who gather around lights propped up on poles.


Until next time,


T
