All Affirming
Journey Beyond Familiar: All Affirming by Lay Low Moon
Lyrics
I drive through four lanes of strange and you said, "magic"
I drive through four lanes of strange, and you describe it as "magic"
And I'm aware that nothing about this situation is tragic
Acknowledgment that the current situation is not tragic
And I would like to get to know me
Expresses a desire to understand oneself better
And I look to you as you're asleep in the passenger's seat
Observing the partner asleep in the passenger's seat
I believe, yes I, I believe that I have to go away for a while
Expresses a belief in the need to go away for a while
I strive for concepts and change that I'm not sure of
Striving for concepts and changes that are uncertain
And I admit that I've lost all the things I liked the allure of
Admitting the loss of things once found alluring
But I would like to tell you everything
Desire to share everything with someone
But I know how this works and I don't mind waiting
Understanding the dynamics and being patient
I believe, yes I, I believe that I have to go away for a while
Reiteration of the belief in the necessity to go away
I fly through five miles of mange that is the highway
Describing a journey through an unusual landscape
Going, I've never seen it like this on a Friday
Noticing a change in the usual Friday experience
And I could not just travel aimlessly
Not wanting to travel aimlessly
I know it would take some time for amnesty
Acknowledging that achieving forgiveness or pardon takes time
I believe, yes I, I believe that I have to go away for a while
Reaffirming the belief in the need to go away for a while
If I were at my home
Reflecting on being at home
I'd sit on my couch that smells like cigarettes
Describing a couch with a distinct smell
Inside my house that isn't finished yet
Inside an unfinished house
And I'd speak to you as if you were in the room
Imagining a conversation with someone absent
I smile on all those who estrange themselves from this pavement
Smiling at those who distance themselves from the ordinary
Knowing I can't even see, this road's too fragrant
Being unable to see clearly due to fragrant roads
And I could not just be a slave to this
Rejecting the idea of being a slave to the mundane
To all the other steel boxes and radio bliss
Refusing conformity to steel boxes and radio bliss
I believe, yes I, I believe that I have to go away for a while
Reiterating the belief in the necessity to go away
If I were so honest
Contemplating honesty
I love the scent of the suburbs in
Expressing love for the scent of suburbs in the summer
The summer time and your sun soaked skin
Appreciating the scent of sun-soaked skin
But I would know better than to be all affirming
Choosing not to be overly positive or affirming
And I drive through four lanes of strange and you said, "magic"
Repetition of driving through strange lanes described as "magic"
And I'm aware that nothing about this situation is tragic
Reiteration that the situation is not tragic
And I would like you to believe in me
Expressing a desire for belief and understanding
Now you're awake and you look at me like you don't know me
Partner waking up and looking at the speaker with unfamiliarity
I believe, yes I, I believe that I have to go away for a while
Final affirmation of the belief in the need to go away for a while
