No Solace
Unreachable Horizons: Gord Downie's No Solace Unveiled
Lyrics
There you are
Expressing the presence of someone.
The highest point in my eye
Acknowledging the person as a significant and prominent figure.
There you are
Reiterating the continued existence of the person.
The place that I could never get
Referring to a place or state that was elusive or unattainable.
I worry about you
Expressing concern for the person.
As as I always did
Highlighting a consistent worry for the individual.
No solace for solace
Suggesting a lack of comfort or relief for a particular situation.
For what I did
Reflecting on a past action or choice without finding solace.
I can climb a ladder
Conveying the ability to ascend or descend metaphorically.
Or lower myself down
Offering alternatives in facing challenges or situations.
I can climb a ladder
Repeating the idea of choice in ascending or descending.
Or lower myself down
Reiterating the flexibility in dealing with circumstances.
Stroke your soft hair
Describing a gentle, intimate action towards the person.
Lower myself down
Repeating the idea of lowering oneself, possibly in humility or empathy.
I can imagine us now
Imagining a scenario involving both individuals.
I always could back then
Emphasizing the ability to visualize such scenarios in the past.
I pictured around the corner
Envisioning a specific location or moment in the imagination.
There just laying down
Depicting a scene where both individuals are present.
I can imagine
Continuing the act of imagining, possibly emphasizing creativity.
You and I always could then
Highlighting the enduring ability to imagine together.
I pictured around the corner
Reiterating the act of picturing a specific scenario or place.
There just lying
Describing the imagined scene as if it is a reality.
