Fellow Traveler
Journey Through Unspoken Desires: Fellow Traveler by Social Meteor
Lyrics
Where were you tonight
Expressing curiosity about the other person's whereabouts during the night
Fellow traveler
Referring to the listener as a fellow traveler, suggesting a shared journey or experience
I woke up alone
Waking up alone, possibly feeling a sense of loneliness or isolation
You know I hate it
Expressing dislike for waking up alone
When you tell me
Disliking when the listener informs the speaker about their intentions or desires
What you're after
Asking about the listener's goals or plans
I don't really wanna know
Indicating a lack of interest in knowing the listener's intentions
She always tells me
Describing someone (possibly the speaker's partner) expressing love, despite doubts about its sincerity
That she loves me
Confirmation that the person claims to love the speaker
And I know she is lying
Acknowledging a suspicion that the person is lying about their love
But I still think it's true
Despite doubts, the speaker still believes in the truth of the person's love
She doesn't wanna
Describing a reluctance to make things easy
Make it easy
Stating a preference for challenges despite the desire for ease
But whenever she needs me
Commitment to being there whenever the person needs the speaker
I always come through
Highlighting the speaker's reliability in fulfilling commitments
It wasn't my idea
Denying responsibility for entering a difficult situation or relationship
to fall into this prison
Expressing a shared experience of being in a challenging situation (prison)
And I'm sure you felt the same
Believing the listener had similar feelings about the challenging situation
We're just two people on a mission
Describing both individuals as having a shared mission
And we're in each other's way
Acknowledging that they are in each other's way or complicating each other's lives
I know what's going on
Claiming awareness of the current situation
Things haven't changed so far
Asserting that things haven't changed significantly
Still, the same girl I knew
Affirming that the person is still the same as before
Although it's time to go further down the road
Recognizing the need to move forward in life
We'll meet again, We always do
Expressing the inevitability of meeting again despite parting ways
And it's fine And it's fine
Reassuring the listener that it's okay, emphasizing the acceptance of the need for time
You need time
Acknowledging the listener's need for time and space
Where were you tonight
Repetition of the earlier inquiry about the listener's whereabouts
Fellow Traveler
Repetition of referring to the listener as a fellow traveler
I woke up alone
Reiteration of waking up alone
You know I hate it
Repetition of expressing dislike for waking up alone
When you tell me
Reiteration of disliking when the listener informs the speaker about their intentions or desires
What you're after
Repetition of asking about the listener's goals or plans
I don't really wanna know
Reiteration of indicating a lack of interest in knowing the listener's intentions
Ah ah ah
Non-verbal expression, possibly conveying emotions or a moment of reflection
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Repetition of a vocalization, possibly expressing emotions or creating a musical atmosphere
Ah ah ah
Repetition of a vocalization, possibly concluding the song with a musical expression
