Belle & Sebastian i took a long hard look

Select language to translate this lyric

I took a long hard look at the heroes of my youth
And their antics on the page there on can no longer sustain me
Ever since I was a boy, they brought me joy
But the shackles of the way I was can no longer contain me
It was exciting and enlightening
Reverberating through my dreams
Goodbye to reality
And set a course for wayward schemes
Now I can't sing, I can't feel, I don't know what is real
I was traveling through the past for years, tell me, what's my destination?
Now the past is gone, I don't even have a song we've not sung before
To a closing door, tell me, what's my situation?
I saw the film, I lived the book
I got the haircut, that's all it took
But now I know it's going to take
A little more now, I'm awake
I took along hard look, now I'm waiting for the phone to ring
I glance at the in-box, is there any tantalizing mail there in?
There was lust in my restless heart but now I know what true love means
Goodbye to reality and set sail for [unverified]
