Westward
Seeking Solace: Journey Westward in Pursuit of Inner Peace
Lyrics
There’s something about the winter’s down in Texas
Winter in Texas holds a particular feeling or experience for the singer.
Something in the wind that burns my eyes
The wind in Texas causes discomfort or emotional reaction for the singer.
No way that I could keep from being reckless
The singer feels unable to avoid acting impulsively or without caution.
When nothing but a drink can ease my mind
Alcohol is the only thing that can provide relief or solace for the singer.
Now I’ve had enough of wanting to be wanted
The singer is tired of seeking validation or approval.
I’ve had enough of living in despair
The singer is exhausted from feeling hopeless or despondent.
They say that brighter days will surely find me
Hope is promised for a better future, but the singer hasn't experienced it yet.
But I’ve never seen the sun like I did there
The singer hasn't seen happiness or positivity like they did in a specific place (Texas).
So I’m packing up my bags and heading westward
The singer is deciding to leave and search for their own place.
Looking for a place to call my own
The singer is seeking a place to belong.
And I know I could find peace down in the valley
The singer believes peace can be found in a valley but feels drawn to something else.
But something about the water calls me home
There's an emotional connection to water that pulls the singer back to a specific place or feeling of home.
Well, in my heart there’s two roads that diverge now
The singer is torn between two choices or paths.
And I’m sorry I can only travel one
Regret for not being able to explore both options.
But living’s only living once you’ve chosen
Life only truly begins once you make a decision and stop dwelling on missed opportunities.
To stop wasting time wondering what you might’ve done
Stop wasting time pondering what could have been.
So I’m packing up my bags and heading westward
Similar to earlier, the singer is leaving in search of a place they feel they belong.
Looking for a place to call my own
The singer desires to find their own space or identity.
And I know I could find peace down in the valley
Peace is anticipated in a valley, but there's an emotional pull to a place associated with water.
But something about the water calls me home
Emotional connection to water symbolizes a deep feeling of belonging or home.
