Prisms
Embracing Change: Journey of Self-Discovery in 'Prisms' by Fast Talkers
Lyrics
Did you feel alive
Questioning if there was a sense of vitality or excitement
When you left town
Asking about the emotions when leaving the town
Turned twenty-five
Referring to the age of twenty-five, a milestone
Erned your cap and gown
Noting the achievement of earning a graduation cap and gown
Left on hard terms
Departing on difficult terms or circumstances
Drove out of state
Physically moving away from the current state or situation
Moving along as you spend Along
Continuing the journey while spending time along the way
Never to return
Deciding never to come back
To return
Repetition for emphasis, underlining the decision not to return
On the interstate
Traveling on the interstate, possibly symbolizing life's journey
Pulled through the station
Passing through a station, a point of change or reflection
Something to free your mind
Seeking something to liberate the mind
But now it's a habit
Describing a once-liberating act that has become a routine
Some cigarettes will pass the time just to get you by
Using cigarettes as a coping mechanism to pass time
But still the road drags
Expressing the challenging nature of the journey or experience
The road drags
Repetition to emphasize the dragging nature of the road
Say hello to the new you
Encouraging self-introduction or acceptance of a transformed self
Say hello to the new you
-Say hello to the new you
-Say hello to the new me too
Extending the acknowledgment of a new beginning to the speaker as well
