Eastbound
Journey of Longing: Eastbound Echoes
Lyrics
Big city calling, I hear the echo outside
Feeling drawn by the allure of a big city, noticing its beckoning call, possibly from a distance.
There's something so frightening in this deep western sky
Sensing a profound sense of fear or unease in the expansive western sky, suggesting an unsettling atmosphere.
I wish it was simple saying goodbye
Expressing a desire for farewells to be uncomplicated, indicating a wish for simplicity in saying goodbye.
Comfort me later, now let me cry
Seeking solace or comfort at a later time while presently allowing oneself to experience and express sadness through tears.
Will cracks in the pavement bring me some sort of truth?
Wondering if imperfections or disruptions in one's path might reveal some essential truth or insight.
Will they find some way to remind me of you?
Questioning whether these disruptions or imperfections will serve as reminders of someone significant.
Will the train running eastbound help me remember my part?
Contemplating if a journey towards the east, possibly by train, will aid in recalling one's own role or purpose.
Will this wish for release fill the holes in my heart?
Wondering if the desire for liberation or relief will mend the emotional voids or pain within.
The sky filled with phantoms in their towers of light
Observing a sky filled with ethereal figures in radiant structures, possibly symbolizing aspirations or unattainable goals.
And lovers so restless give themselves to the night
Noting how restless individuals surrender themselves to the night, possibly implying a longing or seeking of fulfillment.
If you cut me wide open and you looked deep inside
Contemplating whether deeper aspects lie beyond the surface, beyond what's visible upon introspection.
Would you find something deeper than this worrying mind?
Questioning if there's more profound substance within oneself than what the mind worries about.
This room is too empty and these streets are too wide
Feeling a sense of emptiness in the immediate surroundings and perceiving the streets as excessively vast.
And I don't have the patience for this pain to subside
Expressing impatience with the lingering pain, desiring for it to diminish without delay.
So I'm off to the land of litter and lights
Deciding to depart for a place characterized by urban chaos and luminance.
Where rats in the tunnels keep the ghosts up all night
Illustrating a place where even creatures like rats remain active throughout the night, possibly mirroring one's restless state or a place's constant activity.
I'll learn the streets slowly, maybe find someone new
Contemplating the process of adapting to a new environment slowly and the potential of discovering new connections or relationships.
We'll drink up the sunrise and wake up with the moon
Envisioning sharing moments with someone new, enjoying both sunset and moonrise together.
But I'm not so stupid, I'm not such a fool
Acknowledging awareness and understanding, refusing naivety, particularly regarding thoughts about moving on from a past relationship.
To think that I'll stop, stop thinking of you
Rejecting the notion of completely ceasing thoughts or memories associated with someone from the past.
I'm not so stupid, I'm not such a fool
Repeating the refusal to accept the complete cessation of thoughts or memories concerning someone from the past.
To think that I'll stop, stop thinking of you
Reiterating the refusal to believe that thoughts about someone from the past will cease entirely.
