Oceanwalk
Oceanwalk: Navigating Shadows, Chasing Dreams
Lyrics
I saw the door and I looked through the entrance
I observed a doorway and peered into the entrance.
Stare down night sky, dot pattern seeming endless
Gazing at the night sky, noticing a seemingly endless pattern of dots.
Broken friendship, dandy dog on leash
Describing a fractured friendship with a dog on a leash.
Door latch caught spot, shoe stomp on street
The door latch caught a spot, and there was a shoe stomp on the street.
Tape deck plays and the reels will spin
A tape deck is playing, and the reels are spinning.
Suburb sound close down as boom-bap begin
The suburban sound fades as boom-bap music begins.
My red face hide in the shade of the trees
The speaker's red face is hidden in the shade of the trees.
As buggered blue moonlight pass through the leaves
Observing the moonlight passing through the leaves.
Carry out my concerning deeds in the deprevation of the darkness
Engaging in concerning deeds in the darkness.
The com-com-comfort of cavedweller locked inside an apartment
Describing the comfort of someone locked inside an apartment.
I spark this with the marked mistakes of minors learning
Igniting a substance with the mistakes of minors learning.
How to build a better book of matches by watching the fire burning
Learning to improve by watching the fire burning.
I can count all my dreams on a pair of pinnoccio fingers
Counting dreams on Pinocchio-like fingers.
And trace the trail back home from all the tumbling splinter
Tracing the trail back home from splinters.
A silly beginner, basic aprentice aggression
Describing oneself as a silly beginner with basic aggression.
In the absence of a master, trying to make up my own lesson
Attempting to create lessons in the absence of a master.
Who knew I would wait such a long time
Expressing surprise at waiting for a long time.
From the dreams to leaves to the cracks in the pavement
Reflecting on a journey from dreams to the cracks in the pavement.
To the roaches and rat and the amoured cars pacing
Noting various elements like roaches, rats, and armored cars in the environment.
To the spies and the thieves and the cross-eyed complainers
Referring to spies, thieves, and complainers with crossed eyes.
To the...ain't that long when you count out the paces
Time doesn't seem long when counting out paces.
From the breach to the tracks to the aliens with statments
From a breach to tracks to aliens with statements.
To the grief and the crap that they all want to wade in
Encountering grief and undesirable situations.
To the forth and back, the forth and back, there is no turning back again
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of certain actions.
Secrets explode wether you mean it or not
Secrets are exposed, whether intentional or not.
I locked my dreams with the right keys but I worked the wrong lock
Locking dreams with the right keys but using the wrong lock.
The strong box screws split quick before I could retighten
A strongbox is compromised before it can be secured again.
I learned lightening strikes and leaves before language leaks "it lightens"
Realizing the transient nature of opportunities before they are verbalized.
The waking of the dead to live and work with the freaks
Awakening the dead to coexist with unconventional individuals.
I was a vampire roaming streets when I would swear I'is a sleep
Recalling a period of feeling like a vampire wandering streets during supposed sleep.
The beeping of the buzzer burn my brain the next day
Dealing with the aftermath of a buzzer's sound affecting the speaker's brain.
I tried to brush my teeth but never could remove the blood stains
Struggling to remove metaphorical bloodstains while trying to maintain normalcy.
A double life of moonlighting grows tiring from trying
Balancing a double life, moonlighting, and preventing chaos in the village.
If you got to work a day job and keep the villagers from rioting
Expressing the challenge of keeping lies in check while maintaining honesty.
The list of lies, lengthened longer, left life laymen honest
Inviting the world into one's personal space, revealing hidden truths.
Invited the world into my home to show the bones stacked in my closet
Pursuing a seemingly foolish dream with determination.
A dumb little skeleton walking miles to chase a silly dream
Describing a persistent skeleton chasing a dream with worn-out shoes.
Stubborn skull, split shoes, punctuated by abrasive feet
Enduring the journey with a stubborn skull and abrasive feet.
All the while stalking, walking, akward through the night
Continuing to move awkwardly through the night.
In the stomach of the suburbs with a dog by my side
Being in the suburbs with a dog as a companion.
(chorus x3)
Repetition of the chorus three times.
