Miles
Journey of Distance: Flycatcher's Reflections on Time and Longing
Lyrics
Is there anybody home?
Expressing a sense of emptiness or loneliness, seeking connection.
The waters cold and Iu0027ve got no place to go
Feeling isolated and without direction, possibly in a challenging situation.
Disconnected
Suggesting a feeling of being emotionally or socially detached.
Ill prepared and unprotected
Feeling unprepared and vulnerable.
Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
Repetition emphasizes the physical and emotional distance from someone.
Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
-Disconnected
Reiterating a sense of disconnection and lack of readiness.
Ill prepared and unprotected
-Itu0027s been said the time goes way too fast
Commenting on the perceived speed of time passing.
I guess weu0027re living in the past
Suggesting a nostalgic perspective or longing for the past.
Itu0027s been said the time goes way too fast
Repeating the idea that time moves quickly, possibly with regret.
I gotta go youu0027re in the past
Indicating a need to leave, possibly to move forward.
I sleep alone in this bus seat made for two
Describing solitude and distance while traveling.
Driving further from where you are and where I wanna be
Expressing a journey away from a desired location.
Miles stretch out to your door
Highlighting physical distance using the metaphor of miles.
Getting further never knowing what itu0027s for
Conveying uncertainty about the purpose of the journey.
Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
Repeatedly emphasizing the vast distance from the person.
Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
-Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
-In the back of the Greyhound Iu0027m heading northbound
Providing a specific context of traveling on a Greyhound bus.
Itu0027s been said the time goes way too fast
Echoing the theme of time passing quickly and the need to move on.
I guess weu0027re living in the past
-Itu0027s been said the time goes way too fast
-I gotta go youu0027re in the past
-(Itu0027s been said)
Repeating the idea of time passing.
Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
Continuing to express the emotional and physical distance.
Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
-(The time goes way too fast)
Repeating the notion that time moves fast.
(Itu0027s been said)
Reiterating the idea that time passes quickly.
Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
Reemphasizing the significant distance from the person.
Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
-(I gotta go youu0027re in the past)
Indicating a sense of urgency to leave the past behind.
Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
Repeating the theme of being far away from the person.
Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
-Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
-Iu0027m miles and miles away from you
Underlining the continued physical and emotional separation.
