TRAVELERS
Journey of Love and Distraction: TRAVELERS by Peter von Poehl
Lyrics
We are travelers, we go far
We, as individuals, are travelers, exploring distant places.
the only place we've never been to is where we are.
The only place we haven't experienced is our current situation.
And if our roads would cross some day
If our paths cross someday, we might not recognize each other.
I'm not sure we'd recognize our faces anyway.
There's a sense of uncertainty about recognizing our own faces due to the journey of life.
So I sing about this great love,
The singer expresses their desire to understand a profound love.
I'd sure like to know,
The singer is uncertain about the details of this great love.
but baby, I just have to go.
Despite the desire to understand love, the singer feels compelled to leave.
Because my train is calling and it sounds just like applause
The train symbolizes departure, and the applause-like sound emphasizes the excitement of leaving.
and I'm more into effects than their cause.
The singer is more interested in the effects of actions than their causes.
Yes my train is calling and I don't know where it goes, but I'm more into effects than their cause.
Reiteration of the singer's preference for effects over causes regarding the train's call.
If you run into trouble on your way could you please tell him that I've got a few things I'd like to say. Because we made this deal long ago, that I would keep you busy if you would just support my shows.
A deal is mentioned where the singer promised to keep someone busy in exchange for support during shows.
So I sing about this great love,
Reiteration of the singer's desire to understand a profound love.
I'd sure like to know,
The singer is still uncertain about the details of this great love.
but baby, I just have to go.
Despite the desire to understand love, the singer feels compelled to leave.
Because my train is calling and it sounds just like applause
The train, again, symbolizes departure, with applause-like sounds emphasizing the excitement of leaving.
and I'm more into effects than their cause.
The singer is more interested in the effects of actions than their causes, reiterating the theme.
Yes my train is calling and I don't know where it goes, but I'm more into effects than their cause.
Reiteration of the singer's uncertainty about the destination of the train, emphasizing the focus on effects rather than causes.
