Watershed
Journey through the Watershed of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Scattered ash on a basement floor/
Scattered remains or remnants lying on the floor of a basement
Wasn’t feeling good about the work anymore
The individual was losing passion or enthusiasm for their work
In my own way the spirit had broke
The person's inner strength or resolve had been broken in their unique way
I was laughed out of jokes
Others ridiculed or dismissed the person's attempts at humor
I was heading for a watershed
The person was approaching a crucial turning point or critical moment
But I didn’t know what it meant
The individual lacked an understanding of what this critical moment or turning point meant
I followed blind & called it belief
The person followed blindly and labeled it as belief, possibly indicating blind faith or trust in something without full comprehension
The errand making fool out of me
The person's pursuit or mission made them appear foolish
Oh can you believe!
An expression of disbelief or a request for confirmation
Crossed a river/wound up in the sea
The person underwent a significant change or transition, moving from one place to another metaphorically
No, I couldn’t tell
The person couldn't distinguish or recognize something important
The sun coming down
Reference to the sun setting
Like gold thrown in a wishing well
Comparing the setting sun to something valuable being thrown into a wishing well, possibly implying wasted potential or beauty
So I turned my tail for the north wood
The person changed direction, heading towards the north wood (possibly a metaphor for a different direction or new path)
Headfirst into the watershed
The person approached the critical turning point head-on, still without understanding its significance
Still didn’t know what it meant
The person remained unaware of the meaning or significance of the critical moment
I follow blind & call it belief
Repetition of blindly following and labeling it as belief, resulting in foolishness
The errand makes a fool out of me
Continuation of the notion that the pursuit or mission makes the person appear foolish
