Travelling Light
Journey Through Shadows: Unveiling Life's Detours
Lyrics
Where do we go from here?
Expressing uncertainty about the future and seeking direction.
Where do we go?
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the search for a path.
Where do we go, my dear?
Adding a personal and affectionate touch to the inquiry.
Say that you know
Asking for assurance or confirmation from the listener.
Which way do we go?
Continuing the theme of uncertainty and the need for direction.
I’ve got a man in my bed with damaging eyes
Introducing a romantic or intimate relationship with someone.
And he put a plan in my head like a travelling light
Describing the impact of the person in the speaker's life, comparing them to a guiding light.
But where did he go?
Expressing confusion or concern about the person's whereabouts.
These wars ahead are the detours to my way home
Referring to life challenges as obstacles on the journey home.
Trying to be strong, doing the best that I have known
Acknowledging the difficulty of the situation and the effort to stay resilient.
At least I know I’m not a settler
Rejecting the idea of settling for less in life.
I’m running away in my head with powder and wine
Imagining an escape in thought, possibly using substances for comfort.
And I would rely on my friends for their valuable time
Relying on friends for support and understanding.
Yes, I was a ghost
Reflecting on past experiences, suggesting a sense of detachment.
These wars ahead are the detours to my way home
Reiterating the challenges faced as deviations from the path home.
Trying to be strong, doing the best that I have known
Continuing the struggle to be strong and navigate life's difficulties.
At least I know I’m not a settler
Reaffirming a refusal to settle for mediocrity or compromise.
Well, I’m counting the lessons that we learn
Reflecting on the lessons learned in life.
Always wrong or right
Acknowledging the ambiguity of choices, neither strictly wrong nor right.
When we learn we’re living a burden
Realizing that living itself can be a burden, a shared human experience.
We’ll get to the truth of our light
Expressing hope to uncover the truth and meaning in life.
God knows, god knows when I am lost in dismay
Acknowledging feelings of being lost and seeking divine guidance.
I know, I know that I will find my way
Expressing confidence in finding a way despite challenges.
’Cause at least I know I’m not a settler
Reaffirming a refusal to settle for a life of mediocrity or compromise.
