The Boatman
Journey of Self-Discovery: The Boatman's Quest
Lyrics
I saw the boatman
I observed the boatman
Never thought he'd come round here
Unexpectedly, he appeared in this vicinity
It was broad daylight
It was during daylight hours
And no one even seemed to care
No one seemed to be bothered or concerned
Miles and miles
There are vast distances, and clarity is elusive
And everything is still unclear
Everything remains uncertain
Did he come back for me?
Is his return meant for me?
Do I belong here?
Questioning my sense of belonging
I should cover my bases
Considering different possibilities
Does that make it too personal?
Wondering if it becomes too intimate
Did I cover my bases?
Did I take precautions?
Did I leave the car engine on?
Concerns about leaving the car engine running
I don't wanna slow down
Expressing a reluctance to decelerate or pause
I don't wanna slow down
Reiteration of not wanting to slow down
Would you leave me on the ground?
Asking if the boatman would abandon on the ground
Would you leave me on the ground?
Repeating the concern of being left on the ground
He took the coin out, out of his pocket, outstretched his hand to me waiting for something
The boatman took out a coin, extending his hand, anticipating something
In that moment, felt something greater, than any human thing that's ever been built
In that moment, experiencing something profound beyond human creation
I saw my mother, I saw my father
Recalling the vision of my mother and father
I saw their mothers, their fathers, their mothers
Witnessing the ancestors of others
I could be part of a bigger picture
Contemplating being part of a larger picture
But I'm disconnected from everything I know
Feeling disconnected from my known reality
That I know
Reiterating the sense of disconnection
Can I go home? Can I please go home?
Expressing a desire to return home
I should cover my bases
Considering precautionary measures again
Or does that make it too personal?
Questioning the appropriateness of such precautions
Did I cover my bases?
Confirming if precautions were taken
Did I leave the car engine on?
Reiterating concerns about leaving the car engine on
I don't wanna slow down
Reaffirming the unwillingness to decelerate
I don't wanna slow down
Emphasizing the reluctance to slow down
Would you leave me on the ground?
Asking if the boatman would abandon on the ground
Would you leave me on the ground?
Repeating the concern of being left on the ground
