Windsor
Windsor Whispers: A Journey of Reflection and Longing
Lyrics
I skinned my hands on the wheel
I experienced hardship or struggle while driving, possibly due to emotional turmoil.
Gripping on the ten and two
My hands tightly gripped the steering wheel at ten and two positions, indicating a focused and controlled demeanor.
Thinking I was made of steel
I thought I was invulnerable, like steel, but being with you made me feel human and vulnerable.
But I turn to flesh next to you
Despite my tough exterior, I become tender or soft when I'm close to you.
I don't know if this is the last time
Uncertainty about whether this moment will be the last time I witness the lights in Columbia, suggesting a pivotal moment.
I'll see the lights in Columbia
Reflection on observing lights in Columbia, possibly a metaphor for a significant place or event.
They don't go by as fast
The passing of time doesn't feel rapid, implying a contemplative state.
And I got half a mind to turn around
Considering turning back, indicating inner conflict or hesitation.
But I won't dear, no not, not for now
Despite the desire to turn back, a commitment to continue the journey, at least for now.
Does my shadow walk your halls
Questioning whether my influence or presence is felt in your surroundings.
Does it creak on your floorboards
Wondering if my impact is noticeable, expressed through the sound of creaking on your floorboards.
Do I appear between your walls
Do I exist in your thoughts and memories within the walls of the old house in Windsor?
In that old house in Windsor
Referencing a specific location (Windsor) with emotional significance.
I don't know if this is the last time
Reiteration of uncertainty about the finality of witnessing the lights in Columbia.
I'll see the lights in Columbia
A repetition of the contemplation of time passing in Columbia.
They don't go by as fast
The perceived slow pace of time, prompting a desire to turn back.
And I got half a mind to turn around
Internal struggle between the impulse to go back and the commitment to move forward.
But I won't dear, no not, not for now
Despite difficulties, the decision is made to continue the journey, at least for now.
And I'm not any better than I was
Admitting that my current state is not significantly improved from the past.
When I left you weeping, and I watched
Recalling a moment of leaving you in sorrow and witnessing your pain.
Oh lord, how I'll plead to come back
An expression of regret and a willingness to plead for a return.
I'll be the ghost to your flesh
Metaphorical reference to being a lingering presence or memory in your life.
Cuz I don't know if this is the last time
Continued uncertainty about whether this is the final time seeing the lights in Columbia.
Will I see the lights in Columbia
Repetition of the theme of observing lights in Columbia with an underlying sense of uncertainty.
They don't go by as fast
The perception that time doesn't pass quickly while observing the lights.
And I got half a mind to turn around
Contemplating the idea of turning back, but the decision is to press forward.
But I won't dear, no not, not for now
Reaffirming the commitment to continue the journey despite inner conflicts, at least for now.
Oh I won't dear, no not, not for now
Reiteration of the commitment to move forward, emphasizing the present moment.
