Evening Train
Journey of Love and Uncertainty on an Evening Train
Lyrics
Would you find it strange
Expressing curiosity or uncertainty about a potential action
If I touched your face
Contemplating physical contact, possibly seeking intimacy
With my winter hands
Symbolizing coldness or emotional distance
Look how close we're standing
Highlighting the proximity between individuals on a train
On this evening train
Setting the scene of the interaction on an evening train
Would it be fine if we stayed
Proposing the idea of staying together for warmth and closeness
Where I can feel your warmth
Desiring to be close and feel the warmth of the other person
And my lungs expanding
Reflecting on the physical sensations, such as breathing deeply
Oh God I'm terrified of landing
Expressing fear or anxiety about a potential outcome
Could it be there's been a misunderstanding
Suggesting the possibility of a misunderstanding or confusion
If I fell asleep
Contemplating falling asleep and its consequences
Would I wake to familiar arms
Wondering if waking up to familiar comfort is a possibility
Lifting me out of this car
Imagining being cared for and lifted from a shared space
Into a single bed
Envisioning a transition to a comforting and solitary space
Where the morning would clear my head
Anticipating the morning to bring clarity and renewal
Of all the things that I'd dreamt
Reflecting on dreams and their potential impact
You are every man
Describing the other person as reliable and structured
Made of concrete plans
Depicting a contrast between solidity and instability
Full of walls and doors
Highlighting architectural metaphors for personality traits
And sturdy ceilings
Expressing a sense of instability, vulnerability, and desolation
I am sinking sand
Emphasizing a feeling of sinking and instability
I am barren land
Portraying emotional emptiness and infertility
I am quietly stranded
Conveying a sense of isolation and helplessness
I am barely breathing
Describing a struggle for survival or emotional endurance
Could it be that these feelings
Questioning the sincerity or accuracy of emotions
Have been misleading
Considering the possibility of misled emotions
If I fell asleep
Revisiting the theme of falling asleep and its consequences
Would I wake to my familiar arms
Yearning for the comfort of familiar surroundings
Lifting me out of this car
Envisioning being lifted from a shared space to a private one
Into a single bed
Imagining a transition to a space for personal reflection
Where the morning
Anticipating the morning for mental clarity and renewal
Would clear my head
(Blank line)
Of all the things that I'd dreamt
Reiterating the impact of dreams on mental clarity
If I touched your cheek
Contemplating physical contact and its potential significance
Could you be the passage light
Possibly seeking guidance or direction in the darkness
Guiding my eyes in the night
Metaphorically using a passage light as a guide in difficult times
Til I drift away
Expressing a desire to drift away into a comforting state
And the morning
Anticipating the morning to bring awakening and clarity
Could wake me up
Desiring to be awakened to a commitment or lasting presence
To tell me that she'd stay
Expressing hope for a sustained connection or relationship
