In the Rust
Journey through Abandoned Echoes: In the Rust by Simon Alexander
Lyrics
On a train to Barcelona
Embarking on a journey to Barcelona by train.
With the world rushing by
Observing the fast-paced world outside the train.
Not a trace of how I knew her
Unable to recognize someone from past experiences or discussions.
From the talk around the town
Contrast between personal knowledge and rumors in the town.
To a place where I can hold her
Seeking a place to embrace memories, possibly in dreams.
'til I found myself asleep
Finding oneself asleep, suggesting a dreamlike state.
How hard is to find now
Expressing the difficulty of finding something meaningful.
When the waters run to deep
Exploring the challenge when emotions run deep.
But baby, baby don't you cry
Comforting someone, acknowledging shared mistakes.
You're walking in a valley with a fool and so am I
Walking through life's challenges with someone foolish.
Baby, baby don't you cry
Reassuring not to cry despite challenges.
We're looking for a meaning in abandoned areas
Searching for meaning in deserted places.
A reason to believe in hiding in the rye
Seeking a reason to believe, likened to finding something in the rye.
But all there is to find is in the rust
Realizing that the only discoveries are in decay and decline.
I know that I've forgotten
Acknowledging the forgetfulness of past innocence.
The kids we used to be
Recalling the adventurous nature of youth.
Stranded in a moment
Being stuck in a fleeting moment of time.
Thieving highs and making scenes
Engaging in rebellious actions and creating memories.
'til the break of morning
Continuing activities until the dawn.
While the radio was blind
Listening to a radio while being unaware of essential things.
But we never said what's needed
Failing to express necessary words in a relationship.
For I was yours and you were mine
Affirming a past connection where possession was mutual.
But baby, baby don't you cry
Repeating the comforting refrain, emphasizing shared folly.
You're walking in a valley with a fool and so am I
Encouraging someone to endure challenges together.
Baby, baby don't you cry
Reiterating the message not to cry in difficult times.
We're looking fo a meaning in abandoned areas
Searching for meaning in forsaken places.
A reason to believe in hiding in the rye
Looking for a reason to believe, reminiscent of "The Catcher in the Rye."
But all there is to find is in the rust
Understanding that all that remains is deterioration and decay.
Oh oh oh oh oh
Repeating melodic phrases, possibly emphasizing a sense of longing or nostalgia.
Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Continuation of the melodic repetition, potentially conveying a lingering emotion.
