Landscape
Silent Landscape: A Poetic Journey Through Charcoal Ropes and Yellow Suns
Lyrics
Silent landscape
Depiction of a quiet, tranquil setting
Yellow, yellow gray
Describing a landscape with yellow and gray tones
Swallowed in public space
Feeling overwhelmed or consumed in a public environment
What would Jesus say?
Contemplating what a revered figure like Jesus would express
Go home!
A directive to retreat or return home
Await and wait
Expecting and enduring a prolonged period of waiting
A rising tower of smoke
Imagery of a growing, ascending column of smoke
Miles of charcoal rope
Visualizing extensive stretches of burned material resembling charcoal
Accept the day will never come
Coming to terms with the fact that a particular day or event may never arrive
But I can see it miles away
Despite acceptance, having a clear foresight or intuition about its distant occurrence
Bleeding towards the interstate
Symbolic bleeding or moving persistently towards a highway
And gone
Repetition of disappearance or vanishing
And gone
-Until we walk as one
Aspiring for unity among individuals
Hollow yellow sun
Describing a sun that feels empty or devoid of substance
Falling into public space
Visualizing something descending into the public domain
Pushing words on to the page
Attempting to articulate thoughts or emotions onto paper
Patching where the heart is frayed
Mending or repairing emotional vulnerabilities
Erased as one
Repetition of unity being obliterated or nullified
Erased as one
-Some day
Anticipation of a future time
Some day we'll walk as one
Hope for eventual unity among people
All of us in love
Envisioning a collective state of love
A chorus any voice can sing
Imagining a harmonious, inclusive chorus
A choir pouring silver rain
Depicting a choir offering solace or healing
On whatever pain the world can bring
Seeking to alleviate or confront the pain in the world
Erased as one
Reiteration of unity being erased or nullified
Erased as one
