Smoke Around the Bend
Chasing Shadows: A Journey Through Mystery and Memory
Lyrics
Quietly, I asked them what
Curiously, I inquired about the identity or purpose of this place
This place was for
Nobody could provide an answer to what this place was for
Nobody could recall
There was a collective lack of knowledge or memory about the place
In the distance
In the far distance
Watched the traces left of the crane
Observed the visible signs or remains of the crane
Their story was the same
Various accounts or narratives shared by different individuals were consistent
Smoke around the bend
There is a mysterious or uncertain situation represented by smoke around the bend
Fire in the east
There is a fire in the eastern direction
Places I pretend to reach
Refers to imaginary or desired locations that I pretend to reach
Smoke around the bend
Reiteration of the mysterious or uncertain situation with smoke around the bend
Drone assures me
A drone, possibly a remote device, reassures my existence or presence
I'm still here
Confirmation that I am still in the current location
Out on the breadcrumb trail
Traveling along a trail marked by scattered breadcrumbs
But leading out to where?
Uncertainty about the destination or endpoint of the breadcrumb trail
Found the clearing on the map
Discovered a clear area on the map
Strangely made to scale
The clear area is strangely proportioned or designed
Of the studio sky
Reference to a sky that resembles a studio backdrop
Smoke around the bend
Reiteration of the mysterious or uncertain situation with smoke around the bend
Fire in the east
Reiteration of a fire in the eastern direction
What did I intend to see?
Questioning the original intention or purpose of seeking something
Smoke around the bend
Final reiteration of the mysterious or uncertain situation with smoke around the bend
Oh I'm bound to seek september
Expressing a commitment or obligation to search for something in September
In the valley of the moon
In the valley of the moon, indicating a specific and perhaps mystical location for the search
