The Motorcycle Song
Lost Journey: Emptiness on a Motorcycle
Lyrics
And I don't know my way back home
Feeling lost and unsure of the way back home.
My motorcycle's full of holes
The motorcycle is damaged or flawed in some way.
And I can't find my way back in
Unable to retrace one's steps or find a way back into a familiar place.
I'm hungry and my shadow's thin
Experiencing hunger and a metaphorical representation of thinness or emptiness.
The road of anyone can change I know that we won't meet again
Recognizing that life paths can change, and acknowledging a separation with someone.
The key was in the open lock
A possible opportunity or solution was overlooked.
You'd see through any blanket fog
Seeing through confusion or obstacles with clarity.
There's places is on the seabound roll
There are exciting places in the world, but they seem unreachable or distant.
But I can't even find the boat
Unable to find the means to reach those distant places.
I don't know the way back home
Continuing the theme of feeling lost and not knowing the way back home.
My motorcycle's full of holes
Repetition of the motorcycle being damaged, emphasizing a sense of vulnerability.
Full of holes
Highlighting the motorcycle's condition as being full of holes.
Full of holes
Reiteration of the motorcycle's damaged state for emphasis.
And someone turned the lights way down
Someone or something has caused a dimming of lights, possibly a metaphor for a downturn in life.
But shelter is what brought you round
Having shelter or protection played a role in overcoming a difficult situation.
She said the outside is the in
Suggesting that external appearances may not reflect the true nature of a person or situation.
It's risky when you drink that gin
Warning about the risks associated with certain actions, like drinking gin.
The key was in the open joint You'd see from any vantage point
An opportunity or solution was again overlooked, visible from any perspective.
And I can't find my way back in
Repeating the theme of being unable to find a way back into a familiar place.
I'm hungry and my shadow's thin
Reiterating feelings of hunger and a metaphorical thinness or emptiness.
There's places is on the seabound roll
Restating that exciting places exist but remain out of reach.
But I can't even find the boat
Emphasizing the inability to access those distant and exciting places.
And I don't know my way back home
Continuing the sense of being lost and not knowing the way back home.
My motorcycle's full of holes
Reiteration of the motorcycle being damaged, emphasizing vulnerability.
Full of holes
Repeating the description of the motorcycle as full of holes.
Full of hole
Emphasizing the damaged state of the motorcycle with the repetition of being full of holes.
