Lyrics
For miles, moving down the tracks
Reflecting on a journey, moving along a path or course
Count hours, as the days go past
Measuring time, observing days as they elapse
There’s a glass wall, hanging in the air
Perception of an invisible barrier suspended in the atmosphere
Million faces, two second stares
Encountering numerous people, brief interactions
He thinks “what’s your name?”, head spinning out
A male character wonders about the identity of someone, feeling disoriented
She thinks “what’s your game?”, head full of doubt
A female character questions the motives or intentions of another, filled with uncertainty
He said “what’s your name?”
Repetition of the male character asking for the name of the other person
You can find me at Clark and Lake
Providing a location, "Clark and Lake," as a point of reference
Living passive, there’s too much at stake
Living a passive or cautious life due to high stakes or risks
But when the city clears, you’ll see me standing there
Being present and noticeable when the city becomes less crowded
Taking in the sounds, taking in the air
Awareness of the environment, absorbing the sounds and air
And for a moment I think, my life, the everyday scheduled show
Contemplating the daily routine as a scripted and scheduled performance
I know, it plays on and on, on mute
Acknowledgment that life continues as an ongoing, repetitive show without significant impact
Have you seen it too?
Asking if the listener has also observed this phenomenon
Or do you go for miles, without a passing glance
Questioning if the listener travels extensively without making connections
And has it been awhile since you took your chance
Inquiring if it has been a long time since the listener took a risk or opportunity
Where do you go from here, life off the tracks
Pondering the direction of life beyond the established path or routine
And then the moment, it passed
Highlighting a fleeting moment in time
And then the moment, it passed
Repetition emphasizing the transient nature of moments
And then the moment, it passed
Reiteration of the passing of a significant moment
