On Fading Away
Journey Through Rain: Finding Solace in Nature's Rhythm
Lyrics
I was walking down by Hobson's Creek, in the morning just before it rained
I was walking near Hobson's Creek just before it rained in the morning.
I was walking down by Hobson's Creek, in the morning just before it rained
Repetition emphasizing the setting and timing.
The path was slick and I stumbled again and again
The pathway was slippery, causing frequent stumbling.
I was soaking wet from the night before, shivering to the bone, but I was moving just the same
I was already wet from the previous night, cold, but still continuing to move.
I was soaking wet from the night before, shivering to the bone, but I was moving just the same
Reiteration of the condition and determination to keep going despite discomfort.
The matches in my pocket all ruined from the rain
The matches carried were damaged by the rain.
I saw a flatboat on the river, the rain started coming down hard
Observation of a flatboat on the river as the rain intensified.
I saw a flatboat on the river, the rain started coming down hard
Restating the sighting of the flatboat and worsening weather.
I was used to being wet and did not wipe my face at all
Not bothered by getting wet, not wiping the face.
I paddled to the current and lay down in the bottom and I drifted in the storm
Opted to paddle with the current, lay down in the boat, and drifted during the storm.
I paddled to the current and lay down in the bottom and I drifted in the storm
Reiteration of choosing to drift along with the river during the storm.
I could hear the river through the boat like it was knocking on a door
Perceiving the sound of the river inside the boat, likening it to a knock on a door.
I wanted to drift with the river and follow it all the way to the gulf
Expressing the desire to continue drifting along the river towards the gulf.
I wanted to drift with the river and follow it all the way to the gulf
Repeating the longing to follow the river's course to the gulf.
The rhythm of the water put me out just like a drug
The rhythmic nature of the water's movement inducing a calming effect, like a drug.
I had drifted down for miles and I knew I could not drift back up
Realization that drifting downriver for miles meant not being able to reverse course.
I had drifted down for miles and I knew I could not drift back up
Reiteration of being unable to drift back upriver after traveling a considerable distance.
The clouds were clearing and I put my matches out to dry in the sun
As the clouds cleared, attempts to dry the wet matches in the sun.
