Freight Train
Journey of Desolation: Embracing the Unknown on a Fast Freight Train
Lyrics
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Expressing the speed of a freight train, possibly symbolizing life's pace.
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Repetition emphasizes the relentless and swift movement of the freight train.
I don't care what train I am on
Indifference to the specific path or journey in life, as long as it continues.
As long as it keeps rolling on
Desire for continuity and forward motion in life, regardless of the circumstances.
Don't know where I am headed far
Uncertainty about the destination, suggesting a lack of clear purpose.
Makes no difference anymore
Feeling that nothing matters anymore, possibly reflecting a sense of resignation.
Got no future and I've got no home
Lack of prospects and a sense of homelessness or displacement.
Can't do nothing now but roam
Acceptance of the current state, with only the option to wander aimlessly.
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Reiteration of the fast-paced nature of life, akin to a speeding freight train.
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Emphasis on the unstoppable force of time and existence.
I don't care what train I am on
Reaffirmation of the lack of concern for the specific path in life.
As long as it keeps rolling on
Commitment to the continuity of life's journey, regardless of the circumstances.
When my baby left my side
Personal loss and emotional pain experienced when a loved one departs.
Something deep inside me died
Expressing the profound impact of a significant loss.
Gotta keep movin' on
Determination to keep moving forward despite the emotional hardships.
And my memory of her is gone
Fading memories of a past relationship, highlighting the passage of time.
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Reiteration of life's rapid pace, mirroring the movement of a freight train.
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Emphasis on the unstoppable force of time and existence.
I don't care what train I am on
Indifference to the specific path or journey in life, as long as it continues.
As long as it keeps rolling on
Desire for continuity and forward motion in life, regardless of the circumstances.
When I die just bury me please
Expression of a wish for a simple and unassuming burial upon death.
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Specific location for burial, suggesting a connection to a particular place.
Paupers at my head and feet
Acceptance of a humble and modest end, with paupers at head and feet.
And tell her that I've gone to sleep
A peaceful departure, conveying a sense of eternal rest.
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Reiteration of the fast-paced nature of life, akin to a speeding freight train.
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Emphasis on the unstoppable force of time and existence.
I don't care what train I am on
Indifference to the specific path or journey in life, as long as it continues.
As long as it keeps rolling on
Commitment to the continuity of life's journey, regardless of the circumstances.
I don't care what train I am on
Reaffirmation of the lack of concern for the specific path in life.
As long as it keeps rolling on
Commitment to the continuity of life's journey, regardless of the circumstances.
