Somewhere Else
Journey Through Echoes: Big Mountain County's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
Feelings of the good times, don’t want ‘em anymore
Expressing a desire to move away from memories of good times.
A river in the jungle, I can’t go home
Feeling stranded or unable to return to a familiar place represented by a jungle river.
We were singing all the old songs, now I can’t recall
Loss of memory or connection to past experiences, particularly in relation to songs.
Pictures of him, can’t get enough
A strong attraction to images or memories of someone.
Alone in his death place, another day is done
Reflecting on solitude and the end of a day in a place associated with death.
I’m waiting on the sun for no one to come
Waiting for something that may never happen, possibly the sun rising.
As far as I can dream to sit here and die
Expressing a dream-like state where the speaker contemplates sitting and dying.
if only this sinking boat could rise up and fly
Wishing for a positive change, symbolized by the sinking boat rising and flying.
He dressed so well
Admiration for someone's well-dressed appearance.
and spoke so well
Appreciation for someone's eloquent speech.
Memories of that smile, long long ago
Recollection of a smile from the past, possibly with a sense of nostalgia.
No longer sure I’ve been here before
Uncertainty about familiarity with the current situation.
He understands
Acknowledgment that someone understands a situation or emotion.
this makes no sense
Recognition that the current circumstances are perplexing or nonsensical.
He understands
Reiteration of someone's understanding of a confusing situation.
I won’t stay there
A decision not to remain in a particular place or state of mind.
Maybe it could be better with someone else
Contemplation of the possibility of improvement with someone else.
Wish I could want to be somewhere else
Expressing a desire to be in a different location or situation.
Wish the rain would wash away a need to hope and stay
Wishing for a cleansing rain to eliminate the need for hope and persistence.
When the sun comes to find me I’ll be far away
A commitment to being far away when the sun seeks the speaker.
I'll be far away
A declaration of being physically distant or emotionally detached.
