Farther West
Forged Desires: Unveiling the Epic Tale of Farther West
Lyrics
Every hammer, every axe
Reference to various tools symbolizing labor and effort.
Every anvil and stone
Emphasis on the diversity of tools used in work.
He strikes the ground
Depicts the act of striking the ground, possibly indicating hard work.
I hear it burn
Sensory imagery suggesting intensity, passion, or transformation.
I feel better
An emotional response, feeling better in response to the preceding actions.
Oh I know this day will come my way
Anticipation of a future event or outcome.
I know farther west, they ask his name
Recognition that people in the west inquire about someone.
But you don't know what I saw
Conveying that there are undisclosed experiences or visions.
A blow of his axe and it's done
Effortless completion of a task with a powerful stroke.
They ask, honey
Others seeking confirmation or information about the person.
Is it true?
Questioning the truth of rumors or information about the person.
What they said of you
Concern about the reputation or rumors surrounding the person.
The ringing of steel, I'll never hear
Loss of a familiar sound, possibly related to changes or separation.
A wave breaks, the gulls they cry
Nature imagery with the breaking wave and crying gulls, signifying change or emotional turbulence.
He once was mine
A reflection on a past connection or relationship.
Oh I knew this day would come my way
Reiteration of the anticipation of a significant event.
I know farther west, they ask his name
Repetition of the theme of people in the west showing interest in the person.
Did you turn from me?
Questioning whether the person turned away.
Did you turn to him?
Questioning if the person turned towards someone else.
A wave breaks, the gulls they cry
Recurrence of the nature imagery, emphasizing emotional turbulence.
He once was mine
Reflection on a past possession or connection that is no longer present.
