Close to the Vest
Navigating Lost Paths: Neatly Drawn Blinds' Tale of Concealed Emotions
Lyrics
We lost all contact in the middle of the night
We lost communication during the nighttime.
So I gathered by the road side to put up some signs
I stood by the roadside to erect signs, possibly to communicate.
They said this way if you have anything to say
The signs invited communication for anyone passing by.
Detour after detour there was no way to make it to the state
Despite trying different paths, we couldn't reach our intended destination.
Following the lines all through the dark
Following a path or guidance through a dark and uncertain situation.
It was a rural place with nothing to tell
The place lacked distinctive features or stories.
That didn't keep us from buttoning up
Despite the lack of external cues, we remained reserved.
Held close to the vest as to not open up
We kept our emotions or thoughts guarded, not revealing much.
Fallen branches and dreams
Symbolic representation of broken hopes or aspirations.
Out among the leaves
Metaphorically, things lost or unattainable, hidden among nature.
Stolen glances and keys
Stealing quick glances or opportunities among a deceptive world.
In a world of thieves
In a world filled with deceitful individuals.
Fallen branches and dreams
Reiteration of shattered dreams or unfulfilled hopes.
Out among the leaves
Similar to line 10, representing lost or unattainable things among nature.
Stolen glances and keys
Repeating the idea of fleeting chances or secrets among others.
In a world of thieves
Emphasizing the presence of deceitful individuals in the world.
Fallen branches and dreams
Recurrence of dashed hopes or dreams.
Out among the leaves
Similar to lines 10 and 14, representing lost or unattainable things among nature.
Everything in between
All that lies in the middle or in-between circumstances.
If you could believe
If one could have faith or trust in something.
