Been to Alaska
Journey Through Alaska: A Melodic Tale of Redemption
Lyrics
I’ve the seen the whitest of snows
I have experienced the purest, whitest snow.
I’ve heard the saddest of songs
I have listened to the most sorrowful songs.
I’ve been through lower than lows
I have gone through extremely low points in life.
I’ve done wrongest of wrongs
I have committed serious mistakes.
I’ve been to Alaska
I have visited Alaska.
Maybe that’s why
Possibly, my experiences in Alaska have influenced me.
The stars won’t look the same to me
The celestial bodies don't appear the same to me now.
I’ve been to Alaska
I have been to Alaska.
So stop asking why
Stop questioning why things have changed.
The fish won’t taste the same
The taste of fish has altered for me.
I’ve been to Alaska
I have been to Alaska.
I’ve been to Alaska
-I’ve been to Alaska
-The stars won’t look the same to me
The celestial bodies don't appear the same to me now.
I’ve seen the skies turn green
I have witnessed the sky turning green.
Winter days without sun
Experienced winter days devoid of sunlight.
Summer nights moon
Experienced moonlit summer nights.
I’ve done the wrongest of wrongs
I have committed serious mistakes.
I’ve been to Alaska
I have been to Alaska.
Baby that’s why
Possibly, my experiences in Alaska have influenced me.
The stars won’t look the same to me
The celestial bodies don't appear the same to me now.
I’ve been to Alaska
I have been to Alaska.
So stop asking why
Stop questioning why things have changed.
The fish won’t taste the same
The taste of fish has altered for me.
I’ve been to Alaska
I have been to Alaska.
I’ve been to Alaska
-I’ve been to Alaska
-The stars won’t look the same to me
The celestial bodies don't appear the same to me now.
No night will ever beat this night
No night will surpass this one in memory.
No star will ever shine this bright
No star will shine as brightly as this one.
No fire will ever feel this warm
No fire will feel as warm as this one.
No pain will ever beat this storm
No pain will be as intense as this storm.
The perfect storm
Referring to a perfect storm that spared only the heart.
Because it tore it all except the heart
The heart endures, patiently waiting through all seasons.
Who patiently awaits
Endurance through winter, spring, summer, and fall.
Through winter, spring, summer, and fall
Metaphorically describing changes – glaciers melting, tides rising.
Glaciers melt, tides rise
Reflecting on an old story with a new unfortunate ending.
Old story, new demise
Recollection of every smile despite potential forgetfulness.
I remember every smile
Despite forgetting names, memories of smiles remain.
Though I might forget their names
I have been to the last frontier, possibly referencing Alaska.
I’ve been to the last frontier
No celestial body will appear the same to me again.
And no star will ever look the same
Continuation of the idea that experiences in Alaska changed perception.
