East on Tracks
Finding Peace Through Mistrust: East on Tracks by Slick Shoes
Lyrics
Thrown out in the cold again.
Feeling rejected and left in a cold, unwelcoming situation.
We donæ?° have a place for you here.
Experiencing a sense of not belonging, with a clear message that there's no place for the speaker.
You did everything shy of call me stupid.
Feeling insulted or criticized, possibly by someone close, without being explicitly called stupid.
Why not take this comfort away.
Suggesting the removal of a source of comfort, adding to the speaker's challenges.
Youæ?³e got everything else.
Despite the hardships, acknowledging that there are other aspects of life that the speaker possesses.
Donæ?° worry about me, Iæ?£l be fine.
Expressing resilience and assurance that the speaker will manage despite the difficulties.
Itæ?¯ all right now, Iæ?³e found my way.
Claiming to have found a positive path despite the adversities.
No thanks to you Iæ?£l be o.k.
Acknowledging personal strength and determination, independent of external support.
Youæ?³e showed me how to mistrust.
Attributing a lesson learned to the negative influence of someone, possibly involving betrayal.
No thanks to you Iæ?£l be o.k.
Reiterating self-sufficiency and personal well-being despite the negative impact of others.
Could you come and walk with me and help me not to stray?
Requesting support and companionship to avoid straying from a positive path.
I need your strength to guide me.
Seeking strength and guidance from someone else to overcome challenges.
So show me how to trust and to know faith.
Expressing a desire to learn trust and faith, possibly as a response to previous betrayal or mistrust.
Iæ?³e paid a price I now,
Acknowledging a cost or consequence paid for not standing up for personal beliefs.
Not standing up for my beliefs.
Reflecting on the internal struggle of not expressing one's convictions.
Whatæ?¯ inside wonæ?° be held back I know that with your love I will find peace.
Believing that the inner self, once unleashed, will find peace with the support of love.
