Turn Left
Lost Journeys: Searching for Roots and Soul
Lyrics
Once I thought I knew where I came from
Reflecting on a past belief about one's origin
Now fogging up a blur I can't recall
Uncertainty and confusion about the past
How many times have I been here before?
Contemplating the frequency of revisiting a place
Could this be my birth town? Oh
Questioning if the current location is the birthplace
Now as I am searching for a soul
Searching for identity or purpose
Crossing country looking for a real job
Traveling across the country seeking meaningful work
Nothing seems to suit me, no
Frustration with a lack of fitting opportunities
Guess I'll keep doing what I did before
Considering returning to previous actions
Walking down the stairs
Descending metaphorical stairs, possibly a life journey
Anonymous, detached
Feeling anonymous and emotionally detached
On the corner I turn
Turning a corner in life
I turn, I turn left
Choosing a new direction, symbolized by turning left
Looking out at the waves
Observing the vastness of possibilities or time
I could stand here for ten more days
Enjoying a moment of contemplation
Crushing stones with my toes
Engaging in a seemingly simple and grounding activity
That woman looking at me
Noticing someone observing, possibly a connection
Could she be my relative? Oh
Speculating about a potential family link
Would she be my best friend? Oh
Considering a deeper connection or friendship
Wonder if she's seen me here before?
Reflecting on past encounters with the person
Could she be my relative? Oh
Repeating the thought of a possible familial connection
Walking down the stairs
Revisiting the metaphorical stairs in the journey
Anonymous, detached
Feeling emotionally distant and detached again
On the corner I turn
Taking another turn in life
I turn, I turn left
Choosing a new direction once more by turning left
