Smoke
Journey Through the Smoky Abyss: A Soul's Quest for Home
Lyrics
Crawlin' down, on this winding road
Crawling down, navigating a challenging path.
While I search to the corners of my soul
Searching deep within oneself for answers.
For the voice that tells my footsteps where to go
Seeking guidance from an inner voice.
To make my way, on the trail that leads me HOME
Striving to find the way back home.
The snow is lightly falling through the trees
Describing a serene scene with falling snow.
Suspended in, this quiet gentle breeze
Snow suspended in a calm breeze.
The woods and forest stretch for miles around me
Being surrounded by vast woods and forests.
Give me the sign, I'll burn it TO THE GROUND
Expressing a readiness for drastic action if signaled.
Stop and stare, into the smoky air
Pausing to observe the smoky surroundings.
Yes I'm awake, but I'm only half aware
Awake but only partially aware of surroundings.
I'm looking past my strands of tangled hair
Looking beyond physical appearance and distractions.
Into the embers floating through the air
Contemplating the floating embers in the air.
The burning forest casts its blinding light
Describing the blinding light of a burning forest.
But it's swallowed up inside the blackest skies
The light swallowed up by the darkest skies.
Now my bets are cast against the rising sun
Placing bets against the rising sun, indicating a preference for the night.
Cause to me the night HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN
Expressing that, for the speaker, the night has just begun.
Stop and stare, into the smoky air
Reiterating the act of stopping to observe smoky surroundings.
Yes I'm awake but I'm only half aware
Being awake but only partially aware, again.
Looking past these clouds of smoke somewhere
Looking past challenges and difficulties represented by clouds of smoke.
Beyond the embers floating through the air
Seeking something beyond the immediate struggles.
Stop and stare, into the smoky air
Repeating the act of stopping to observe smoky surroundings.
Yes I'm awake, but I'm only halfway there
Being awake but only halfway present.
I feel the cinder and the smoke consume, me
Experiencing the impact of cinder and smoke, possibly metaphorical.
I allow my lungs to freely breathe the fumesss
Choosing to inhale the fumes willingly.
