Far From Any Road
Ethereal Desolation: A Tale of Desert Shadows
Lyrics
From the dusty mesa
Describing a location - a dusty mesa.
Her looming shadow grows
The presence or influence of a mysterious figure is growing.
Hidden in the branches
The mysterious figure is concealed among the branches.
Of the poison creosote
Among poisonous creosote plants, emphasizing danger.
She twines her spines up slowly
The mysterious figure (she) slowly moves upward like a plant.
Towards the boiling sun
Progressing towards the intense, boiling sun.
And when I touched her skin
Touching the mysterious figure results in bleeding.
My fingers ran with blood
Intense and potentially harmful connection with the figure.
In the hushing dusk
A quiet moment at sunset.
Under a swollen silver moon
Under a large, radiant moon.
I came walking with the wind
Walking with the wind, possibly suggesting a spiritual journey.
To watch the cactus bloom
Observing the blooming of cacti, symbolic of life in a harsh environment.
A strange hunger haunted me
A mysterious longing or desire.
The looming shadows danced
Shadows play a significant role in the experience.
I fell down to the thorny brush
A fall into difficulties or challenges represented by thorny brush.
And felt a trembling hand
A touch with vulnerability, represented by a trembling hand.
When the last light warms the rocks
Describing the evening landscape with warm rocks as the last light fades.
And the rattlesnakes unfold
Rattlesnakes emerging, indicating danger or unpredictability.
Mountain cats will come
Predators (mountain cats) arriving, possibly representing threats.
To drag away your bones
A metaphorical expression of mortality - bones being dragged away.
And rise with me forever
An invitation to rise together, suggesting unity or eternal connection.
Across the silent sand
A journey across a vast, quiet desert.
And the stars will be your eyes
The stars symbolizing eternal presence and watchfulness.
And the wind will be my hands
The wind as a comforting or guiding force.
