Travelers
Introduction to the theme of "Travelers."
Appalaccia on the way
Reference to a location, Appalaccia, on the journey.
Fourty fears we found them all
Discovery of forty fears, suggesting challenges or obstacles.
For they moved around us
People or things moving around the travelers.
Following through valley shadow
Travelers following through a valley shadow, possibly symbolizing a difficult path.
Sizing up their prey
Travelers sizing up their prey, facing challenges.
And no eye can see forever
Limitation of human vision; no eye can see forever.
Though we heard it one more mountain away
Despite limitations, a distant sound is heard one mountain away.
A confident sound
Description of a confident sound, indicating assurance.
Might've torn our knees but we caught it on the way down
Possible hardship ("torn knees") overcome by catching something on the way down.
Then we found love for the fall
Discovery of love amid challenges.
So we laughed on the ground
Celebration with laughter despite being on the ground.
Now we're lost among green silhouettes
Feeling lost among green silhouettes, possibly nature.
No longer one more mountain away
No longer distant; now the challenges are closer.
It rose in the corner
Introduction of a rising element in the corner, possibly a challenge.
You were lookin the other way
Someone looking the other way, unaware of the rising challenge.
You locked your eye upon it all
Focus on observing everything as the challenge grows.
As it grows, surrounds you
The challenge surrounds and engulfs the observer.
Pouring through your kitchen window
Imagery of sunlight breaking through, bringing clarity or understanding.
Sunlight up the gray
Symbolic connection between sunlight and a gray situation.
Let it casts me as your shadow
Willingness to be someone's shadow and follow them.
I would follow you around anyway
Commitment to follow despite challenges.
With a confident sound
Reiteration of a confident sound overcoming challenges.
Might've torn our knees but we caught it on the way down
Similar to line 11, facing challenges but overcoming them.
Oh with such a love for the warden
Expression of love for a warden, possibly someone protective.
We thoughtfully bailed
Thoughtful action in response to the protective figure.
As you roll me in green cigarettes
Rolling in green cigarettes, metaphorical imagery, possibly indulgence or escapism.
So high upon the mountain today
Being high on the mountain, possibly achieving success or overcoming challenges.
Not a moment left forgotten dear
Emphasis on remembering every moment in a relationship.
Our love will be a novel one day
The enduring nature of love, suggesting it will become a novel.
