13 Days
Journey Through 13 Days: Love, Longing, and the Idaho Horizon
Lyrics
She said "It'll all go back to normal
Expressing a reassurance that things will return to normal
When you're home again"
Highlighting the condition for normalcy upon the protagonist's return home
I don't think she understands
Reflecting on a perceived lack of understanding from the other person
Just how do I pass the time 'til then?
Pondering how to pass the time until the expected return home
'Cause I'm kickin' screamin' and cryin'
Expressing emotional turmoil – kicking, screaming, and crying
How does my life look like this again?
Questioning the current state of life and its unexpected nature
I just wish that I could quit fightin'
Desiring an end to the internal struggle and conflict
Livin' this nightmare over again
Describing the experience as reliving a nightmare
In 13 Days I'm gonna go back home
Counting down the days until the protagonist returns home
I'm gonna leave you standing here in Idaho
Expressing a decision to leave the current location and the other person
And if I leave you with a kiss
Acknowledging a potential farewell kiss
I'm gonna have to pretend it was meaningless
Anticipating difficulty in pretending the kiss was meaningless
'Cause I'm kickin' screamin' and cryin'
Reiteration of emotional distress – kicking, screaming, and crying
How does my life look like this again?
Repeating the questioning of the current unexpected life situation
I just wish that I could quit fightin'
Expressing a desire to end the ongoing internal struggle
Livin' this nightmare over again
Characterizing the experience as reliving a nightmare once more
'Cause I'm kickin' screamin' and cryin'
Reiteration of emotional turmoil – kicking, screaming, and crying
How does my life look like this again?
Repeating the questioning of the current unexpected life situation
I just wish that I could quit fightin'
Expressing a desire to end the ongoing internal struggle
Livin' this nightmare over again
Characterizing the experience as reliving a nightmare once more
I've had a dream for the last two nights
Introducing a dream sequence experienced over two nights
Where you and I are walkin' side by side
Describing a positive dream scenario of walking side by side with the other person
And when I wake alone
Expressing the pain of waking up alone after the positive dream
It hurts like hell.
Highlighting the emotional impact of waking up without the other person
I've had a dream for the last two nights
Repeating the dream sequence experienced over two nights
Where you and I are walkin' side by side
Reiterating the positive dream scenario of walking side by side
And when I wake alone
Expressing the pain of waking up alone after the positive dream
It hurts like hell.
Highlighting the emotional impact of waking up without the other person
'Cause I'm kickin' screamin' and cryin'
Reiteration of emotional distress – kicking, screaming, and crying
How does my life look like this again?
Repeating the questioning of the current unexpected life situation
I just wish that I could quit fightin'
Expressing a desire to end the ongoing internal struggle
Livin' this nightmare over again
Characterizing the experience as reliving a nightmare once more
'Cause I'm kickin' screamin' and cryin'
Reiteration of emotional turmoil – kicking, screaming, and crying
How does my life look like this again?
Repeating the questioning of the current unexpected life situation
I just wish that I could quit fightin'
Expressing a desire to end the ongoing internal struggle
Livin' this nightmare over again
Characterizing the experience as reliving a nightmare once more
