Painting Mountains, Painting Seas
Ephemeral Brushstrokes: Unraveling Life's Tapestry in 'Painting Mountains, Painting Seas'
Lyrics
You threw your troubles to the wind
You released your problems, let them go freely.
Watched them scatter, watched them sin
Witnessed the issues spreading and behaving wrongly.
And absolve once gone from sight
And once they disappeared from view, you felt absolution.
Little soldiers in the night
Metaphorical representation of troubles as small soldiers during the night.
But those soldiers wander on
However, these problems persist and eventually reach the speaker.
‘Til they make their way to me
They continue their journey until they reach the speaker.
And then they press along
Upon reaching, they persist and move forward.
Riding on eternity
Continuing indefinitely, riding on the concept of eternity.
Caught the train on a whim
You impulsively boarded a train.
To live your life like it never happened
Choosing to live as if the troubles never occurred.
Whatcha talkin’ ‘bout
Questioning the subject matter or content of conversation.
Don’t know what you’re talking ‘bout
Expressing ignorance or lack of understanding.
Thought I saw you in a dream
Believed to have seen the person in a dream.
Painting mountains, painting seas
Imagining the person engaged in painting mountains and seas.
Painting fields of golden rye, burning
Depicting the act of painting fields of golden rye, which are burning.
But you left the canvas sky
Not completing the artistic creation by leaving the canvas sky.
And once again
Repetition of troubles or problems persisting.
While you contemplate the stars
While you ponder celestial bodies, the speaker takes action.
I’ve taken up a charge
The speaker assumes a responsibility or duty.
My crown of halogen
Referring to a personal symbol or source of illumination.
It begins
Beginning of a significant event or phase.
Blazing in my eyes
The intensity of light is overpowering.
A carousel of light
Describing a captivating and dynamic display of light.
Pull me out
An appeal to be rescued or taken out of a situation.
Bought a home on the sea
Possessing a residence by the sea.
To hear the waves like cars roaring right past me
Listening to the sound of waves resembling the noise of passing cars.
Think I get it now
A realization or comprehension of the situation.
Think I get it
A confirmed understanding or grasp of the situation.
