Minutes Turn to Miles
Moments Unfolding: Embracing Change and Finding Home in Drive Til Morning's 'Minutes Turn to Miles'
Lyrics
You tore the hands off the clock.
You disrupted the normal flow of time or routine.
I threw away my watch.
I abandoned a conventional means of measuring time.
Watched the minutes turn to miles.
Observed time passing by quickly.
Watched the streetlights glare.
Witnessed the brightness of the streetlights.
Flicker and fade.
Intermittent and diminishing light, possibly symbolizing change or uncertainty.
Through the cracks in the blinds.
Seeing things through a restricted viewpoint or limited perspective.
Spread your wings and fly.
Encouraging someone to explore and pursue their dreams.
I'll be there when the plane gets in.
Expressing readiness to welcome someone upon their arrival.
And if it's late again, I'll leave the porchlight on for you.
Commitment to be supportive even if plans are delayed.
'Cause this can't be hell.
Denial that the current situation is unbearable.
When it's cold and it's freezing outside.
Describing harsh weather conditions.
Let the storm brew strong tonight.
Wishing for resilience during a difficult time.
And bring you home before twilight.
Aiming to bring someone back home before nightfall.
I could almost hear paint peeling off of the walls.
Sensing a sense of decay or deterioration in the surroundings.
And leaves colliding with lawns.
Noticing the natural cycle of leaves falling.
Wide awake at dawn.
Being awake early in the morning.
Was a hell of a way to usher in the new year
Reflecting on a challenging start to the new year.
