A Place Beyond the Pines
Beyond the Pines: Unveiling Life's Yearning for Freedom
Lyrics
Driving home for weekend
Driving home anticipating the weekend
She's home with the same shit
She's at home dealing with repetitive issues
Just another 5 over
Merely five more days until the cycle restarts
2 till we begin again
Two days until the routine begins again
They all call it life
Referring to life as commonly understood
Everyday, money and a terrace house
Every day involves money and a standard house
Tell me why I should spend all my time and pretend
Questioning the rationale for investing time in pretending
We all just want that same kind life
We all desire a similar kind of life
No It wont do
Rejecting the idea, it's not acceptable
Lose my grip on the wheel
Losing control while driving
Hoping to feel
Hoping to experience a sense of liberation
Somekind of freedom
Seeking a form of freedom
Pause my competent mind
Pausing the capable mind
Hoping to fly
Hoping to soar or transcend limitations
There must something beyond the pines
Belief in something more profound beyond ordinary existence
Where the Sun is cutting cloud
Imagery of sunlight breaking through clouds
And bath the folk in woodland town
Describing a serene atmosphere for people in a forested town
Through the valley of beech and birch
Passing through a valley with specific tree types
To the waters of Nilfheim
Reference to the waters of Nilfheim, possibly a mythical or symbolic place
Lying naked In the grass
Being vulnerable and exposed in nature
With the shattered glass
Amidst broken glass, yet the mind remains clear
But my head can speak its mind
The mind's ability to express itself despite challenges
Tell me why I should spend
Reiteration of questioning the purpose of pretending and investing time
All my time and pretend we all just want that same Kind of life
Restating the desire for a similar life among everyone
Where the Sun is cutting cloud
Repetition of the imagery of sunlight piercing through clouds
And bath the folk in woodland town
Reiteration of a picturesque scene in a woodland town
Through the valley of beech and birch
Describing a journey through a specific type of valley
To the water
