The Tower
Exploring Desolation: The Tower's Symbolic Journey
Lyrics
I’m staying now
I have decided to remain in a specific location.
In a vacation house
I am staying in a vacation house.
It’s off season
It is currently the off-season.
There’s no reason to leave
There is no compelling reason for me to leave.
Today in the fishing boat
Today, while on a fishing boat,
I pulled the choke
I activated the choke of the engine.
And started the engine and
Started the engine and
Set it on slow
Set it to a slow speed.
I trolled down the river
I moved down the river,
Under collapsing oaks
Passing under collapsing oaks.
Dead leaves and mossy trees
Observing dead leaves and mossy trees.
You know I made my way down to the gulf
I reached the gulf.
I let my friends go
I chose to let go of my friends.
So let my friends know
Communicating to others that I have let my friends go.
Tonight I’m staying in
For the night, I am staying indoors.
To do my tarot
To perform a tarot reading.
I got stuck on a card
I encountered difficulty with a tarot card.
I couldn’t let go
I couldn't release or move past it.
It’s a burning tower
There is a burning tower in the tarot cards.
Hit by lightning
The tower is struck by lightning.
And people are jumping out
People are jumping out of the burning tower.
It’s coming down
The tower is collapsing.
It’s coming down
The collapse is imminent.
