Searchin'
Wanderlust Blues: Quest for Home in Silver Triplets' Melody
Lyrics
Searching
Expressing the action of searching.
I'm always looking
Consistently seeking.
Searchin' for a place to call my home
Seeking a permanent residence or sense of belonging.
I love you, baby, and I always will
Expressing enduring affection.
But your stone is a'rolling and he can't sit still
Referring to someone as unpredictable or restless.
Why I brought you grief and I caused you shame
Regret for causing pain and humiliation.
But you should've never let me change your name
Indicating a loss of identity due to external influences.
Searching
Reiterating the ongoing quest for a place to belong.
I'm always looking
Continued pursuit and exploration.
Searchin' for a place to call my home
Desire for a settled location or sense of belonging.
Now I keep thinkin' about one more thrill
Contemplating another exciting experience.
The white light's a'flashing by the old saw mill
Imagery of a sudden, possibly intense experience.
And if you make a home like you gather moss
Comparing settling down to accumulating moss, potentially stagnant.
The kind of home you're rolling is one more lost
Suggesting that the kind of home being sought leads to further loss.
Searching
Repeating the ongoing search.
I'm always looking
Continued emphasis on seeking.
I know you love me don't want me to go
Recognizing love and resistance to departure.
'Cause winter's coming and there'll be snow
Implying a challenging season as a reason for staying.
But turn me loose just a'one more time
Requesting freedom for another attempt at departure.
Maybe I'll go fading in the lodgepole pines
Hoping to disappear into a specific natural setting.
And you won't see me
Anticipating not being noticed or found.
Searching
Continuing the perpetual search.
I'm always looking
Reiterating the ongoing pursuit of belonging.
Searchin' for a place to call my home
Seeking a place to establish as one's own.
