639
Journey of Reflection: 639 by Harry Ashton
Lyrics
Something tells me
There's an intuition or feeling guiding the speaker.
Nothing you expected
Reality did not align with expectations.
Could prepare us for the way it ended
Nothing could prepare for the unexpected ending.
When you left this morning
The departure occurred in the morning.
I was unaware that you had changed your mind
The speaker was unaware of a change of mind.
I was in a hazy kinda way
The speaker was in a confused or uncertain state.
To say the least about my inhibitions
Expressing inhibition or hesitation.
Said you needed time to understand
The partner needed time to comprehend the situation.
And closure on the matter
Seeking closure on the matter at hand.
I'm on the westbound train
The speaker is on a westbound train.
Even after all the crazy kinda shit we've been through, babe
Despite challenges, the speaker is still committed.
Six thirty-nine line heading out of my mind
Specific reference to the 639 train line and mental turmoil.
I'd rather be there with you, babe
Expressing a desire to be with the partner despite difficulties.
Mama tells me
Mother advises about a perceived end of the world.
Don't you know the world is ending
The world is seen as ending.
Now I gotta build a bridge
There's a need to build a metaphorical bridge.
Can I love you from the other side
Questioning if love can transcend difficulties.
I promise I'll be careful now
A promise to be cautious moving forward.
I was in a hazy kinda way before
Revisiting a confused state from before.
I didn't let you figure it out
Not allowing the partner to figure things out previously.
I know you needed time to understand
Reiterating the need for understanding and closure.
And closure on the matter
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the importance of closure.
I'm on the westbound train
Repetition of the westbound train journey.
Even after all the crazy kinda shit we've been through, babe
Despite difficulties, the commitment to the relationship persists.
Six thirty-nine line heading out of my mind
Specific reference to the 639 train line and mental turmoil.
I'd rather be there with you, babe
Expressing a desire to be with the partner despite difficulties.
I'm on the westbound train
Repetition of the westbound train journey.
Even after all the crazy kinda shit we've been through, babe
Despite challenges, the speaker is still committed.
Six thirty-nine line heading out of my mind
Specific reference to the 639 train line and mental turmoil.
I'd rather be there with you, babe
Expressing a desire to be with the partner despite difficulties.
