Hearing Things
Urban Echoes: A Journey Through City Chaos to Nature's Call
Lyrics
I've been stuck here in this traffic jam pulling out my hair
I'm frustrated in a traffic jam, feeling stressed.
I've been burning gas for the past half hour
I've been wasting time and fuel, getting nowhere.
And I still ain't got nowhere
Despite efforts, no progress has been made.
Yeah, I moved to the city to get me a pretty little piece of the pie
Moved to the city for success, but it's not working out.
But right now I'd trade all the pay in my pocket
Willing to sacrifice current earnings for peace of mind.
For just a little peace of mind
Desire for tranquility outweighs financial gains.
'Cause I'm losing mine
Expressing a sense of losing composure and sanity.
I think I'm going crazy
Feeling on the brink of insanity.
Hearing things in my head like
Hearing imaginary sounds in the mind.
Truck tires rolling on a gravel road
Imagining truck tires on a gravel road.
AM static on the radio
Recalling AM static on the radio as a mental image.
Pine trees swinging and singing when the wind blows
Visualizing pine trees swaying and making sounds in the wind.
I swear I'm hearing things like
Perception of unreal sounds like those described.
Muddy water rippling on the riverbank
Imagining muddy water moving along a riverbank.
The lonesome whistle of a midnight train
Hearing the distant whistle of a midnight train.
It sounds crazy, I know
Recognizing the perceived sounds seem irrational.
But I'm hearing things and they're calling me home
Hearing things that evoke a sense of homecoming.
You can hear honking horns from the 21st floor
Honking horns audible from a high-rise building.
And man it's hard to tune it out
Difficulty ignoring city noise.
I wanna get somewhere with some fresh air
Desire for fresh air and a quieter environment.
Where all you hear with the windows down is
Imagining a peaceful place with open windows.
Truck tires rolling on a gravel road,
Reiteration of truck tires on a gravel road.
AM static on the radio
Revisiting the mental image of AM static on the radio.
Pine trees swinging and singing when the wind blows
Recalling the calming sounds of pine trees in the wind.
I swear I'm hearing things like
Continued perception of unreal sounds.
Muddy water rippling on the riverbank
Imagining the flow of muddy water on a riverbank.
The lonesome whistle of a midnight train
Hearing the forlorn whistle of a midnight train.
It sounds crazy, I know
Acknowledging the seeming irrationality of these perceptions.
But I'm hearing things and they're calling me home
Feeling drawn to the perceived sounds of home.
I think I'm losing my mind
Reiteration of the sense of losing one's mind.
I think I'm going crazy
Reiteration of feeling on the verge of insanity.
Hearing things in my head like
Hearing imaginary sounds in the mind, similar to earlier lines.
Truck tires rolling on a gravel road
Revisiting the mental image of truck tires on a gravel road.
AM static on the radio
Reiteration of AM static on the radio as a mental image.
Pine trees swinging and singing when the wind blows
Repetition of pine trees making sounds in the wind.
I swear I'm hearing things like
Continued perception of unreal sounds.
Muddy water rippling on the riverbank
Imagining the flow of muddy water on a riverbank.
The lonesome whistle of a midnight train
Hearing the distant whistle of a midnight train.
It sounds crazy, I know
Acknowledging the seeming irrationality of these perceptions.
But I'm hearing things and they're calling me home
Feeling drawn to the perceived sounds of home.
Yeah, they're calling me home
Affirmation of being drawn towards these imagined sounds.
I'm hearing things and they're calling me home
Reiteration of feeling drawn to the perceived sounds of home.
