Lyrics
We find ourselves again
We are rediscovering ourselves once more.
Shades of the living sitting on a subway train
People representing various aspects of life are observed on a subway train.
We find ourselves again
Reiteration of the theme of self-discovery.
Shades of the living sitting on a subway train
Similar imagery of diverse life experiences on a subway train is repeated.
How did it ever come to this
Expressing disbelief at the current situation.
Scrolling in the shadows through the pictures of the life me miss
Browsing through memories, particularly photos, of the life that is missed.
How did it ever come to this
Repeating the astonishment at the current state.
Dreaming in the shadows
Immersed in dreams while existing in the shadows.
Strange things pass before your sight
Unusual and unexpected events unfolding before one's eyes.
In the glow of the blue incandescent light
Observing these events in the blue glow of artificial light.
Shadows cast on the wall on the cave
Reference to Plato's Allegory of the Cave, suggesting a struggle to find reality.
we can't find our way out to the light of day
Feeling lost, unable to find a way out of the metaphorical cave into the light of truth.
Send these dull roots rain
Seeking renewal and growth through metaphorical rain.
Make these dry bones to live again
Asking for a revitalization of life from a dormant state.
Send my dull roots rain
Repetition of the plea for renewal.
Make these dry bones to live again
Expressing the desire for a resurrection of life from a stagnant condition.
Each on his own way
Individuals pursuing their unique paths in an unnamed and isolated sea of existence.
Everyone is an island in a sea that has no name
Emphasizing the individuality and separation of each person.
We are so self-contained
Highlighting the self-contained nature of each individual.
Everyone is an island in a sea no one can name
Reiteration of the idea that everyone is isolated in an uncharted sea.
Heads are all bent down
People engrossed in their own thoughts and not connecting with others.
On that passage through the underground
Describing the journey through the subway, symbolizing a disconnected and solitary passage.
Not a word, not a sound
No communication, no audible signs during this underground journey.
On that dime voyage down
A silent voyage through the underground realm.
Asteroids in the void of space
Comparing individuals to asteroids in the vastness of space, emphasizing their fleeting existence.
Comets which flash and fly but leave no trace
Highlighting transient events that leave no lasting impact.
Like mice caught in the maze
Metaphorically portraying individuals as lost mice in a maze, struggling to find their way.
We can't find our way back to the starting place
Expressing the difficulty of returning to the origin, the starting place.
Send these dull roots rain
Requesting revitalization through metaphorical rain for personal growth.
Make this desert to bloom again
Asking for transformation from a barren state to a flourishing one.
Send my dull roots rain
Reiteration of the plea for renewal and revival.
Make these dry bones to live again
Expressing the desire for a resurrection of life from a stagnant condition.
