Taconic
Lost Roads and Burning Bridges: Taconic's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
I hate you so much but let's be honest, I never got to show you my darkest.
I harbor strong resentment towards you, yet I haven't revealed my deepest emotions.
next to a fire I think you still burn the brightest.
Despite our conflicts, you still shine brightly, especially in challenging situations.
so we both walked out of the forest. you can always seem to spot the tourists
We both left a difficult situation, and you possess the ability to identify outsiders.
In those downstate towns where stars seem to flourish
In less-known areas, where success is rare, you can easily recognize newcomers.
I went the wrong way on the Taconic and I just wish I' could turn around.
I made a mistake on the Taconic (road) and wish I could reverse my actions.
we both watched as all the lights went out
We observed the consequences as all the lights went out.
when you want something and gotta have it, get thicker coats to cover up your panic.
When desperate for something, use thick coats to hide your anxiety.
it's an escape plan but don't forget your habits.
Having an escape plan is good, but don't forget your established patterns and behaviors.
Always looking for a way out but I can never get a grip now.
I constantly seek a way out, but I struggle to gain control of my situation.
Turn the wheel into the trees, won't you come with me?
Turn the wheel towards the trees, inviting someone to join in a risky venture.
A grave that everyone found
There's a significant problem that everyone is aware of (symbolized by a grave).
I went the wrong way on the Taconic and I just wish I could turn around.
Similar to line 6, expressing regret for a wrong turn on the Taconic.
We both watched as all the lights went out
Witnessing the consequences as lights go out, possibly indicating a negative outcome.
They went the wrong way, now everyone died.
Others also made mistakes, leading to a tragic outcome for everyone.
They spilt their guts by the way of the roadside.
Describing a gruesome aftermath where secrets are revealed on the roadside.
Leave some flowers and see me when you drive.
Suggesting a plea for remembrance through flowers when passing by.
