Son of the San Lorenzo
Journey of a Wild Heart: Son of the San Lorenzo Revelations
Lyrics
Everyones got their own story to sell, there's truth and there's lies but it gets hard to tell
Reflection on the prevalence of personal stories, acknowledging the difficulty in distinguishing truth from lies.
Which one is which in the big magazines, in the stories they feed us from our glowing screens
Critique of media influence, questioning the authenticity of narratives presented in magazines and on screens.
Mine started out in the redwoods and pines, I was eating blackberries right off of the vine
Personal history beginning in natural surroundings (redwoods and pines), enjoying simple pleasures like eating blackberries.
My wild blood it took me oh so far away and I left simpler times in the past where they'd stay
Expressing a departure from a simpler past due to adventurous and untamed instincts.
But I tell my own heart in every place that I go, someday we'll go back to where that old cool river flows
Affirming a connection to personal roots and the hope to return to a nostalgic place, specifically mentioning a cool river.
Deep down inside I know that day may never come, but I'll always know
Acknowledgment that the envisioned return may never happen, but the sentiment remains.
That for better or worse, a blessing or curse
Reflection on life's experiences, recognizing them as both blessings and curses.
I'm a son of the San Lorenzo
Identification with the San Lorenzo, implying a sense of belonging or origin tied to this place.
Trouble found me like the hair on my chin, each time I'd get clean it'd just grow back again
Metaphorically linking trouble to the persistent growth of facial hair, suggesting challenges that reoccur.
I got strung out and locked up but I made out alive, did a life worth of living in a short block of time
Narrative of overcoming struggles, experiencing a troubled past but surviving and living intensely within a short span.
I can't say Id like to go through it again, but I put down the spoon and I picked up the pen
Expressing reluctance to relive past difficulties but highlighting a positive shift from addiction to creative pursuits.
Now I travel and sing with the love of my life, proud to say I made that decision right
Transition to a life with a loved one, indicating pride in choosing a more fulfilling path.
But I tell my own heart in every place that I go, someday we'll go back to where that old cool river flows
Reiteration of the desire to return to a nostalgic place, emphasizing the enduring connection to the old cool river.
Deep down inside I know that day may never come, but I'll always know
Recognition that the envisioned return may be elusive, but the sentiment persists.
That for better or worse, a blessing or curse
Reaffirmation that life's experiences are a mix of blessings and curses.
I'm a son of the San Lorenzo
Reiteration of being a son of the San Lorenzo, emphasizing a deep-rooted identity or connection to this place.
That for better or worse, if a blessing or a curse
Confirmation that life's experiences, whether positive or negative, contribute to the identity as a son of the San Lorenzo.
I'm a son of the San Lorenzo
Final declaration of being a son of the San Lorenzo, encapsulating the essence of the entire narrative.
