Coming Around
Echoes of Unseen Paths: Counting Crows' Enigmatic Journey
Lyrics
Never see you coming around
Expressing surprise or unexpectedness about someone's arrival.
They know they got their heads screwed on
Acknowledging that others seem to have their lives in order.
I'm standing in the middle of town
Positioned in the center of town, possibly feeling exposed or vulnerable.
I know I might never come home
Contemplating the possibility of not returning home.
Just standing where I am with all the people passing by me
Observing the surroundings with people passing by.
The sound of all these passers-by mixed in with the bus and motor-car
Noticing the blend of urban sounds - people, buses, and cars.
I must be sure these are the signs
Seeking confirmation of signs, possibly looking for direction or guidance.
'Cause I've been here a million times before
Reflecting on past experiences, suggesting a sense of déjà vu.
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
Requesting information about an anticipated event or change.
I think I see you coming to town, hunting you down
Perceiving someone approaching the town, expressing intent to find them.
Bringing you round
Indicating an intention to bring the person around, possibly for reconciliation.
Tell me if I'm bringing you down
Inquiring if actions are negatively affecting the other person's mood.
'Cause I was fine till you came along
Stating that life was fine before the arrival of a certain person.
You tell me that the tears of a clown cloud
Referencing the classic idea that behind a smile, there can be hidden sadness.
That I'm confusing while abusing my mind
Suggesting internal conflict and mental distress caused by confusion and mistreatment.
So far away I wanna be
Expressing a desire to be far away from the current situation.
That's not as close to you and me
Highlighting a distance between the speaker and the person mentioned.
The things they call our destiny
Questioning the concept of destiny and its role in their relationship.
Now why'd you have to pick on me at all?
Expressing frustration about being the target of negative attention.
My walls are coming down
Indicating a vulnerability or a breakdown of emotional barriers.
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
Reiterating the request for information about the anticipated event.
I think I see you coming to town, hunting you down
Noticing the person approaching town again, with the intent to pursue them.
Coming around, coming around
Repeating the idea of an impending event or change.
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
Reiterating the request for information about the anticipated event.
I think I see you coming to town, just dragging you down
Seeing the person approaching town again, but this time with a negative impact.
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
Repeating the request for information about the anticipated event.
I think I see you coming to town, just dragging you down
Noticing the person approaching town again, with a negative impact.
It's coming around, hey
Stating that the anticipated event is imminent.
It's coming around
Repeating the idea that the anticipated event is imminent.
