The Trench
Journey Through the Trench: Chuck Ragan's Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
Looked into the sky, walked another mile.
Reflecting on the journey while continuing to move forward.
Watching snowfall take its time to the ground,
Observing the slow descent of snow, symbolizing a covering or burial.
To bury this town.
Symbolic reference to the act of burying or putting an end to a situation or place.
Yeah, one step at a time walking on the line.
Taking life one step at a time, navigating carefully.
Laid in the dirt of the pigs,
Lying down amidst difficulty and challenges.
The saints and the clowns know 'em all too well.
Awareness of both the virtuous and flawed aspects of humanity.
Yeah, we already made our bed to lay our head to rest.
Acceptance of consequences or decisions made, ready to face them.
And we drove every nail in that old coffin for the trench.
Committing fully to an inevitable outcome or fate.
Looked into the sky, walked another mile.
Continuing the journey despite challenges.
Cutting losses till my arm's dead tired.
Enduring hardships until there's nothing left to lose.
Nothing to admire.
Finding no positive aspects or inspirations.
Yeah, one step at a time walking on the line.
Progressing cautiously, dealing with obstacles along the way.
Cut through the thick and thin on the way to hell,
Navigating difficulties while heading towards a negative destination.
Know it all to well.
Familiarity with the struggles and challenges encountered.
Yeah, we already made our bed to lay our head to rest.
Preparedness to face the consequences of past actions and decisions.
And we drove every nail of that old coffin for the trench.
Reinforcing the commitment to an unavoidable outcome.
Yeah, we already made our bed to lay our head to rest.
Reiteration of being prepared for the unavoidable fate.
And we drove every nail of that old coffin for the trench.
Emphasizing the commitment to an inevitable and difficult situation.
