pall of smoke
Journey through Memory: Breaking Free from the Pall of Smoke
Lyrics
Can you take take me back home
Expressing a desire to return home.
And will you drive me back there
Asking if someone will provide transportation back home.
Will you hear hear hear me out
Requesting attention and understanding.
Before this eve grows colder
Seeking a conversation before the night becomes colder.
I won't sleep tonight as long as I'll hear
Commitment not to sleep until a specific condition is met.
The steady whir of my turning brain
Describing an active and restless mind.
You've studied the planes and rounds of my face
Acknowledging scrutiny of facial features.
Care unmatched to any lover of mine giver of time
Recognizing someone's care and time investment in the relationship.
Shame
Expressing a feeling of shame.
Can you take me back the way I came
Asking to be taken back to the origin or initial state.
Without this pall of smoke just behind my back
Desiring to leave behind a troubling situation or memory symbolized by "pall of smoke."
And I will never ask you for another thing
Promising not to make additional requests, suggesting contentment with the current resolution.
Because this truly means I'm set free
Stating that the current situation signifies true freedom.
I won't sleep tonight as long as I'll hear
Reiteration of the commitment to stay awake until a certain condition is fulfilled.
The steady whir of my turning brain
Repeating the description of an active and restless mind.
You've studied the planes and rounds of my face
Reiterating that facial features have been closely examined.
Care unmatched to any lover of mine giver of time
Reaffirming recognition of care and time given by a significant other.
Shame
Re-emphasizing the feeling of shame.
I won't sleep tonight as long as I'll hear
Continuation of the commitment not to sleep until a specific condition is met.
The steady whir of my turning brain
Restating the presence of an active and restless mind.
You've studied the planes and rounds of my face
Reiterating scrutiny of facial features.
Care unmatched to any lover of mine giver of time
Reaffirming the acknowledgment of care and time from a significant other.
Shame
Re-emphasizing the feeling of shame.
