Some Place to Come Home To
Finding Solace Amidst Wanderings: Dan Mangan's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
I once found an ocean
Finding an expansive and overwhelming experience or emotion.
Funneled to a river
Channeling that overwhelming experience into a more manageable form, like a river.
Kind of made me wonder
Eliciting curiosity or reflection about the experience.
Kind of made me shiver
Causing a shivering or chilling sensation, possibly due to the intensity of the experience.
There were monsters
Encountering challenges or fears represented by metaphorical monsters.
I feared their stares
Feeling the intimidating gaze or judgment of these challenges.
Searched the basement
Searching for solutions or understanding in the depths of one's being.
Could not find them there
Failing to find the answers or solutions in the explored depths.
Take off for the evening
Taking a break or escape for a short period.
Wait for the weekend
Anticipating and looking forward to the weekend for a more extended respite.
Cause the message that she's sending

We were new in town

Just hit me when I'm ready

You were so happy
Observing someone else's happiness and feeling a deep emotional response.
I could not help but cry
Expressing the inability to contain emotions, leading to tears.
And you asked me for a reason
Being questioned about the cause of the emotional response.
Found a reason why
Discovering a reason for the emotional reaction.
