Henry Street
Rediscovering Lost Roads: Seed Holden's Henry Street
Lyrics
I don't wanna go that road
I am reluctant to take a certain path
Where the streets are all black
Referring to a place where things seem dark or gloomy
I don't wanna go that road
Reiteration of the reluctance to choose that path
Want only forward, not back
Desire to move forward in life and not revisit the past
In my dreams I roam the island
In a dream, the speaker explores an unfamiliar island
On the streets to me unknown
Walking on unknown streets
Feel there like a perfect stranger
Feeling like a stranger in a place
But something tells me sometimes I used to belong
A sense of belonging to the unfamiliar place in the past
Will you ever know I dreamed you
Questioning if someone will ever understand the dreams
Will we ever go far back
Contemplating the possibility of revisiting the past
Where the streets were bright and happy
Recalling a time when the streets were joyful
Moving only forward, but not back
Emphasizing the commitment to move forward and not look back
When I used to wait out for you
Waiting for someone with the intention to leave work behind
To lock the doors and leave the work
Referencing a location named Henry Street, implying a lengthy wait
Henry Street was so damn long
Expressing the lengthiness of Henry Street
But we liked to be just on our own
Preferring to be alone despite the long street
In my dreams I call your name
Calling out a name in dreams
I hold your hand as I once used to
Recalling a physical connection with someone
We're riding to the Cliffs of Moher
Imagining a journey to the Cliffs of Moher
We're still somewhere out there
Suggesting a sense of being lost but still existing
Will you ever know I dreamed you
Repeating the question of whether dreams are understood
Will we ever go far back
Revisiting the idea of going back in time
Where the streets were bright and happy
Recalling a time when streets were joyful and bright
Moving only forward, but not back
Emphasizing the commitment to move forward without looking back
