The Tale of Two Train Hoppers
Escape to the Unknown: Journey of Two Free Spirits
Lyrics
"Run
Running is advised
Don't you dare look back
Do not glance backward
Run
Emphasis on the urgency to run
Run to the train tracks"
Run towards the train tracks
He grabbed his backpack, wore the weight on his back
Preparing to leave, carrying a backpack
Bitter twilight
Describing a time of day with negative connotations
Brothers hand in hand. Closer than grains of sand
Close bond between brothers compared to grains of sand
Train leaves by midnight
The train departs at midnight
"Grab my hand and don't you dare let go"
An urgent plea to hold hands and not let go
They're fleeting faster, faster
They are moving rapidly, emphasizing speed
Winded, vertigo. Vertigo
Feeling dizzy and disoriented
Come what may, his body slips below
Regardless of the outcome, the person's body descends
Twisted screams emit, innocence lost like bugs in snow
Expressing chaotic sounds and the loss of innocence
In the distance
Further emphasizing distance
In the distance he saw his mother
Seeing the mother in the distance
Dressed in white
The mother is dressed in white, possibly symbolizing purity or mourning
In the distance past the snow
Adding a location beyond the snow, possibly a metaphor for a difficult journey
