Journey Through Life's Crossroads: Satellite Motel Reflections
Lyrics
My friend sold out for a job at a desk on the 14th floor in the city
Expressing the friend's choice of a conventional job in the city and the speaker's contrasting view.
I said I'm happy for you but if i'm being honest it sounds like hell to me
The speaker congratulates the friend but honestly admits that the job seems undesirable.
I spent a week on the coast with a stranger who I overwrote like a movie
Describing a week spent with a stranger, possibly emphasizing transient connections and experiences.
Laying awake under bedsheets and biting my cheeks till the light of the morning
Reflecting on a night where the speaker struggled with thoughts, possibly implying inner turmoil.
Sweating it out
Suggesting intense physical or emotional exertion.
Breathing it in
Alluding to actively absorbing the surroundings or experiences.
Are you asleep?
Possibly questioning someone's state of consciousness or awareness.
Couldn't have been
Expressing doubt about someone being asleep.
Driving the length of the highway racing the train on its way to the station
Depicting a drive alongside a highway, engaging with the passing train and anticipating arrival.
"Who would have thought you'd be here?", I would say after 45 minute of waiting
Expressing surprise at finding someone in a particular location after waiting for a significant duration.
Get in the front seat
Inviting someone into the front seat of the car.
I'm taking you home
Stating the intention to take the person home.
You asked if I planned this
Responding to a question about the speaker's plans, possibly suggesting spontaneity.
Just to get you alone
Suggesting the possibility of intentional isolation for personal connection.
Just to kill time in the car
Indicating a motive for spending time together in the car.
Just to for a night in the living room
Suggesting a desire for a casual night together in a familiar setting.
Just to make out in a motel room for a while
Describing an intimate moment in a motel room.
And why does it still feel strange
Pondering the strangeness of feelings despite the linear progression of events.
That everything has to be linear
Questioning the necessity for linear experiences.
That everything has a beginning
Asserting the inevitability of beginnings in life.
And everything ends
Highlighting the universal truth that everything has an eventual end.
Everything ends
Reiterating the idea that everything, including experiences, comes to an end.
Now I'm parked outside the church with nothing better to aspire to in sight
Describing the speaker's current location and lack of clear goals or aspirations.
And I went to drive you home but I had nothing else to say after goodnight
Recalling a moment when the speaker couldn't find words after saying goodnight.
And I have made a habit out of waiting for the world to wrap around me
Admitting to a habit of waiting for the world to shape the speaker's experiences.
And I say it's how it should be
Defending the speaker's perspective that waiting is an inherent part of life.
But I could be wrong
Expressing uncertainty about the correctness of the speaker's viewpoint.
