Stanley
Journey Through Nature's Echo: Stanley by Jay William Miller
Lyrics
Is it wrong for me to dream I'll see you walking through the trees
Expressing a desire or hope to encounter someone in a specific place, amidst nature's setting.
Or are you way up on that ridge above purple mountain majesties
Wondering if the person being addressed is in a majestic natural setting, possibly reflecting on their elevated status or a higher state of being.
Coming back to this place to a look of grief on my father's face
Returning to a location and noticing the sorrow or sadness on the speaker's father's face, possibly indicating the absence of the addressed person.
Then I know you're not here and a soul ain't something to replace
Recognizing that the addressed person isn't physically present and acknowledging that a soul cannot be replaced.
As sun falls through those peaks
Describing the setting as the sun sets behind mountains.
A gentle voice speaks to me
Feeling a comforting or soothing presence through a gentle voice amidst the natural backdrop.
Places like these where the lines are blurred
Referring to places where boundaries or distinctions are not clear.
You don't need to speak to know you're heard
Implies that in such places, communication doesn't always require words to be understood.
Like the Kokanee, you'll find your way back
Comparing the addressed person's potential return to the way Kokanee fish navigate back, suggesting a natural instinct to come back.
Living life more free loving where you're at
Encouraging a liberated life, embracing the present moment.
There's a question in my mind do the stories die with the man inside
Contemplating whether stories and experiences fade away when someone passes away.
And do brothers keep secrets from the ones that I'm left here with
Questioning if siblings keep undisclosed information from those left behind after a loss.
Maybe going back is the key to find a cure for the things that burden me
Suggesting that revisiting the past might hold the key to resolving personal burdens or issues.
As I'm standing on this lakeshore I lose the feeling that I needed more
Feeling content or fulfilled while standing by a lakeshore, despite previously feeling a need for more.
As sun falls through those peaks
Reiterating the sunset behind the mountains, highlighting its significance.
A gentle voice speaks to me
Sensing a comforting or guiding presence through a gentle voice in the midst of nature.
Places like these where the lines are blurred
Referring to places where boundaries or distinctions are not clear.
You don't need to speak to know you're heard
Reiterating that understanding and being heard don't always require verbal communication in such places.
Like the Kokanee you'll find your way back
Comparing the addressed person's potential return to the way Kokanee fish navigate back, suggesting a natural instinct to come back.
Living life more free loving where you're at
Encouraging a liberated life, embracing the present moment.
You'll think of me when you're in Stanley
Indicating that the addressed person will remember the speaker when in Stanley.
You'll think of me when you're in Stanley
Reiterating the idea that the addressed person will recall the speaker's connection when in Stanley.
