Where The Whitetails Go
Journey Beyond Tracks: Unveiling Nature's Wisdom in 'Where The Whitetails Go'
Lyrics
I should've known this train won’t take me home.
I should've realized that this journey will not lead me home.
These tracks are only boney trails of old.
These train tracks represent a barren and desolate path from the past.
I should've cared, but we just stopped and stared
I should have cared, but instead, we just stood still and observed.
Watching the tragedy unfold.
Witnessing a tragic event or situation unfold without taking action.
She said, “Take me where the whitetails go.
A request to be taken to a place symbolized by "whitetails" with a mysterious knowledge.
I can see it in their eyes; they know something we don’t.
The speaker perceives a deeper understanding in the eyes of whitetails.
Mountains so high, and canyons deep
Depicting majestic and challenging landscapes - mountains and deep canyons.
Where white snow lies in 6 foot sheets.”
Describing a location covered in six-foot sheets of white snow.
And it could bury me up to my head;
Imagining being buried in the snow up to the head, symbolizing feeling overwhelmed.
Bury me up to my head, I swear.
Repetition of the idea of being buried, emphasizing a sense of being engulfed or overwhelmed.
Trusting in broken bread, investing in words we said
Putting trust in things that are already broken, relying on words spoken without certainty.
When we don’t really know just where to go.
Expressing uncertainty about the direction in life and where to go.
So I stare, as we deem these jungles bare
Observing and contemplating the world as a place where essential elements are missing.
With no second thoughts as to what is fair.
Acting without consideration for fairness or consequences.
And I weep, as we take what we don’t need.
Expressing sadness and regret for taking more than necessary.
Human nature walking on two feet.
Highlighting the destructive aspects of human nature.
And it could bury me up to my head
Repetition of the idea of being buried, reinforcing a feeling of being overwhelmed.
Bury me up to my head, I swear.
Reiterating the sense of being buried, emphasizing the weight of the situation.
Trusting in broken bread, investing in words we said
Repeating the theme of trusting in broken things and uncertain words.
When we don’t really know just where to go.
Reiterating the uncertainty about the direction in life and where to go.
We don’t wanna see it
Expressing a reluctance to acknowledge or confront a harsh reality.
We don’t wanna believe…
Denying or avoiding belief in the existence of evil.
With all this evil. And we turn the other cheek.
Facing and dealing with the presence of evil while choosing to ignore or tolerate it.
