Forward
Journey Beyond Words: Oak & Shaw's Reflective Forward
Lyrics
everything is already far away
Feeling a sense of distance or detachment; everything seems distant.
the soil is still wet after the rain
Observing recently rained soil, indicating a recent change or renewal.
I find myself buried in someting
Feeling immersed or entangled in something, possibly a situation or emotion.
listening to things you didn’t say
Listening to unspoken words or the unexpressed aspects of communication.
and I turn and I walk forward
Turning and moving forward despite uncertainties.
following the fog while it clears
Advancing through unclear situations, represented by the metaphor of fog clearing.
there's no one around
Feeling solitude, as there is no one in the vicinity.
the leaves turn red and yellow before they fall down
Noticing the changing colors of leaves before they fall, symbolizing transitions.
sometimes I wish we would turn to stone
Expressing a desire for emotional numbness or stability.
sitting back to back covered in moss
Imagining a scenario of shared tranquility, sitting together but isolated.
gentle, colossal and wild
Describing a presence that is both gentle, huge, and untamed.
shaking with the ripples in time
Experiencing the impact of time's influence, causing vibrations or ripples.
then I turn and I walk forward
Continuing to move forward, leaving behind lingering thoughts.
passing all the thoughts left on the ground
Passing by and letting go of thoughts left behind, perhaps memories or regrets.
curled up little papery notes
Visualizing thoughts as curled up notes on the ground.
get stuck in the trees as they fly
Imagery of thoughts getting entangled in trees as they float away.
and then I turn and I walk forward
Persisting in moving forward despite uncertainties and challenges.
wide open mouth into the rain
Facing challenges with an open mind, represented by an open mouth in the rain.
It seems that someone’s around
Sensing the presence of someone or something in the surroundings.
and leaves are growing out from the skin of my head
Metaphorically describing personal growth, with leaves emerging from the head.
and I turn and I walk forward
Persisting in the journey, facing challenges with an open mind.
wide open mouth into the rain
Continuing to move forward despite challenges and uncertainties.
