Iron maiden golden years2/15/2024 It is the bands fourteenth single released and the first from their sixth studio album. Probably not the intended meaning though - Iron Maiden's music doesn't really refer to stuff like this but certainly can be interpreted this way, particularly if (like me and many others I suppose) you've allowed this to happen and regret it later. Wasted Years is a song by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Em D Em D From the coast of gold, across the seven seas Em D I'm travellin' on, far and wide C Em But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself D And all the things I sometimes do, it C isn't me but someone else Em D I close my eyes, and think of home Em D Another city goes by in the night C Em Ain't.

It is the band's fourteenth single released and the first from their sixth studio album, Somewhere in Time (1986). The chorus is therefore slightly sarcastic and ironic - you are living the golden years and may never see them again but need to 'face up' and convince yourself this is true as unlike most you miss your family and friends (verse two) where you feel truly at ease.Ģ) Probably for me the most important meaning in this song for me is that you should have no regrets in life and make sure you have no regrets by 'facing up and making a stand' at the time rather than doing (or not doing rather) something you know you'll regret later.
