Ticket to the End of the World
Journey Beyond Borders: Emma Harner's Ticket to Blissful Escape
Lyrics
We'd move
We would relocate.
Colorado, maybe New York
Possibly to Colorado or New York.
The light from the window would touch down on us
The sunlight streaming in through the window would embrace us.
Breathing steady like old Earth
Breathing calmly and steadily like the familiar rhythm of the Earth.
A safe dream
A comforting and secure aspiration or vision.
And I miss it, maybe too much
Expressing a strong longing, possibly excessively.
Stuck in my head playing firsts, counting lasts
Trapped in thoughts of initial experiences and final occurrences.
Calculations of old us
Reflecting on past versions of oneself through calculations or reflections.
I hadn't changed my mind, you know
Confirming a lack of change in one's perspective or decision.
Got my ticket to the end of the world
Secured a pass to witness or experience the hypothetical end of the world.
Your heart, your head, your voice unknown
Uncertainty about the emotions, thoughts, and expression of the other person.
Got your ticket to the end of the world
Asserting that the other person also possesses a pass to witness the end.
Ah, ooh
Non-verbal vocal expressions.
Ooh
-Ooh
-I think about your words
Contemplation of the other person's words or expressions.
I think with my head held high
Reflecting with confidence or pride.
I think about numbers
Considering numerical aspects or quantifiable elements.
The times that I've seen you cry
Recalling instances of witnessing the other person in tears.
How much for my ticket to the end of the world?
Questioning the price or value of witnessing the world's end and desiring to stop perceiving it as such.
How much to stop thinking it's the end of the world?
-How much for my ticket to the end of the world?
-How much to stop thinking it's the end of the world, oh
-How much for my ticket to the end of the world?
Reiteration of the desire to escape the mindset of perceiving the end of the world.
How much to stop thinking it's the end of the world?
-I hadn't changed my mind, you know
Reiterating the lack of change in personal perspective or decision-making.
Got my ticket to the end of the world
Similar to line 10, confirming the acquisition of a pass to witness the end.
Your heart, your head, your voice unknown
Reiterating uncertainty about the other person's emotions, thoughts, and expression.
Got your ticket to the end of the world
Confirming that the other person also has secured a pass to witness the end.
Ah, ooh
Continuation of non-verbal vocal expressions.
Ooh
-Ooh
-We'd move
Repetition of the first four lines, potentially emphasizing the desire to relocate and experience a comforting atmosphere.
Colorado, maybe New York
-The light from the window would touch down on us
-Breathing steady like old Earth
