Brisco '20
Road to Redemption: A Journey of Reflection and Regret
Lyrics
I'll get in and put the seat back
Preparing to start the journey, adjusting the car for comfort.
Adjust the mirrors and the head rest
Ensuring the car's mirrors and headrest are properly set.
Then I'll speed away, through the corner to the straightaway
Driving energetically through twists and turns onto a straight path.
I'm going away and I won't be seen for days
Embarking on a trip, anticipating an extended absence.
I hit the road about an hour ago
Recently started the journey, leaving a familiar town behind.
From a town where I'm a local
A local in the town, emphasizing a connection to the place.
I'm in the scenery
Immersed in the surrounding environment, possibly nature.
It's the fall and there's changing leaves
Observing the changing scenery, indicating the fall season.
Some are down and they're blowing across the road
Noticing leaves on the road, possibly a metaphor for changes.
I'm headed for the coast
Heading towards the coast, a significant destination.
Only stopping for fuel
Planning only essential stops, focusing on the journey.
I just past Brisco
Passing by a location named Brisco.
And I'll be at the ocean soon
Approaching the ocean, a significant destination.
My guitar is in the backseat
Carrying a guitar, suggesting a musical aspect to the journey.
I got a cup of coffee and a bag of weed
Having coffee and weed, possibly for relaxation or inspiration.
And I see the way I should have left and I'm the one to blame
Reflecting on a past mistake and accepting responsibility.
Now I will always chase the one that got away
Committing to pursuing what was lost, a recurring theme.
I'm headed for the coast
Reiterating the journey towards the coast, emphasizing determination.
Only stopping for fuel
Similar to Line 11, emphasizing minimal stops for fuel.
I just past Brisco
Revisiting the mention of passing by Brisco.
And I'll be at the ocean soon
Reaffirming the nearing arrival at the ocean.
Made the final descent and there's an hour to go
Approaching the final phase of the journey, anticipating arrival.
I saw that the Coquihalla river was low
Observing the Coquihalla river and noting its low water level.
Now it's green again
Noticing a change in the river's color, possibly indicating life or renewal.
We left the colours in the mountains
Leaving behind the colors of the mountains, a symbolic reference.
It's not my home but it's got some one I know
Acknowledging familiarity with the destination, though not home.
I'm headed for the coast
Reiterating the commitment to reach the coast.
Only stopping for fuel
Similar to Line 11 and 19, emphasizing minimal stops for fuel.
I'm way past Brisco
Passing significantly beyond Brisco, emphasizing progress.
And I'll be at the ocean soon
Reaffirming the imminent arrival at the ocean.
I'm way past Brisco
Repeating the surpassing of Brisco, emphasizing distance covered.
And I'll be at the ocean soon
Reiterating the nearing arrival at the ocean.
