Small Steps
Journey of Reflection: Small Steps by Departures Unveiled
Lyrics
Walking down a path I've known so well
Reflecting on a familiar path
Where the heat of the sun
Where sunlight is obscured by trees
Is hidden by the trees
Describing the tranquility of the surroundings
The noise of the distant cars
Noticing distant car sounds
Sounds like the hollow sound
Comparing car sounds to a hollow sea
Of that lonely sea
Imagining a lonely sea's echoing sound
And I pretend your hand is in mine
Pretending to hold hands with someone
I pretend our steps are together
Imagining synchronized steps with a companion
I pretend everything is fine
Choosing to believe everything is okay
I pretend that we're lost in each other
Fictitious immersion in each other
For a moment I catch your stare
Experiencing a momentary connection
And the moment lasts forever
Perceiving a timeless quality in the moment
I pretend everything is fine
Choosing to maintain the illusion of normalcy
I pretend that we're lost in each other
Continuing the pretense of being lost in each other
If I knew a way back, I wouldn't take it
Rejecting the option to go back if there was one
This path is all I've known
Expressing attachment to the known path
This path is all I've been left with
Accepting the path as the only remaining option
My feet take me to the edge
Approaching the edge with footsteps
Out from under the trees
Emerging from the tree cover
The sun it split's my eyes
Feeling the sun intensely
And I don't have to pretend
No longer needing to pretend
