These Days - Bon Jovi

The song describes a difficult modern world where people struggle and take risks to chase their dreams. It references a vagrant king, a woman seeking shelter with suitcases of dreams, and a man who broke his legs jumping from a window trying to learn to fly. The lyrics convey that in these challenging times, there is little security and people must rely on each other for support.
