Travellers Tune
Journey of Love and Discovery: Ocean Colour Scene's Enchanting Travellers Tune
Lyrics
Where do you go buttoned in your favorite coat
Questioning the destination or purpose of the person wearing a favorite coat.
Stepping out to a different world
Stepping into a different world or reality.
And you might be home late
Hinting at the possibility of returning home late.
And where are you now
Seeking the current whereabouts of the person.
Staring at your favorite box
Observing the person staring at a favorite box, possibly a TV.
The one with the traveler's cross
Describing a box adorned with a traveler's cross, suggesting wanderlust.
On the road past the gate
Referencing a journey beyond a gate, symbolizing a departure.
But if you find yourself standing on the corner
Encouraging self-reflection while standing on a corner.
While you're thinking of a different world
Imagining a person contemplating a different world.
Then you might see me waiting on the corner
Expressing the possibility of the speaker waiting on the corner.
Staring through you in your different world
Staring through the person in their alternate reality.
And if I could swim
Expressing a desire to explore and find one's own path.
Then I'd get out and find my boat
If capable, the speaker would set sail to their preferred destination.
Sail away to my favorite coast
Describing a journey to a favorite coast, a place of personal significance.
And let you all in
Willingness to open up and share experiences with others.
And if I could do all the things you're asking for
Fantasizing about meeting the expectations and desires of someone else.
Then maybe I'd find your door
Searching for a metaphorical door to the heart of the other person.
And bring it home to you
Bringing the metaphorical door home to share with the other person.
But if you find yourself standing on the corner
Reiterating the theme of self-reflection on a corner in a different world.
While you're thinking of a different world
Imagining someone else contemplating a different reality.
Then you might see me waiting on the corner
Hinting at the possibility of the speaker waiting for them.
Staring through you in your different world
Continuing to observe the person in their alternate reality.
So where do we go
Pondering the direction or purpose of a collective journey.
Like two Christophers in the snow
Comparing the journey to that of two individuals named Christopher in the snow.
Yeah we're blind but we want to know
Highlighting the curiosity despite the metaphorical blindness.
Just to say I love you
Expressing love as a motivation for the journey.
And all of our lives
Referring to a shared life journey through various phases.
We'll sail through the suns and moons
Anticipating navigating through different phases represented by suns and moons.
To sing our travelers tune
Describing a musical or metaphorical tune that symbolizes the shared journey.
Just to say I love you
Reiterating the expression of love as a motivation for the journey.
