Walden
Escape to Walden: A Journey Through Love, Loss, and Liberation
Lyrics
Let's run away
Expressing a desire to escape or go on an adventure.
The only thing that I want to see is you
Desire to focus solely on the person being addressed.
We'll drink and we'll sleep and we'll dream so we don't have to bother
Escaping reality through indulgence in activities like drinking and dreaming.
This is a grave
Suggesting a serious or challenging situation.
Upper-class communists with nothing to give
Reference to privileged individuals embracing socialist ideals without sacrifice.
And paper men who fold at the thought of their fathers
Depiction of fragile individuals who crumble under the weight of their ancestry.
I'm sorting myself out again
Repetition of self-improvement or personal reflection.
I'm sorting my self out again
-I'm sorting myself out again
-I'm sorting my self
-We shouldn't stay
Encouraging departure or avoiding a situation.
The only thing that I want to hear is you and my
Desire for a specific sound or voice amidst surrounding noise.
Ears to the ground and you scream but I can't hear you calling
Feeling disconnected, possibly due to external noise or distractions.
Feel the decay
Sense of decay or decline, possibly in the environment.
Wondering why not heaven now? And
Questioning why an idealized place like heaven isn't attainable now.
We're scaling the hill but can't help but look back at at the fallen
Ascending in life but haunted by the memory of those who fell behind.
Let's run away
Repetition of the desire to escape or embark on a journey.
The only thing that I want to see is you
Reiterating the desire to focus on the person mentioned earlier.
We'll drink and we'll sleep and we'll dream so we don't have to bother
Repetition of indulging in activities to avoid life's challenges.
This is a grave
Reiteration of a serious or difficult situation.
Upper-class communists with nothing to give
Echo of privileged individuals embracing socialist ideals without sacrifice.
And paper men who fold at the thought of their fathers
Reiteration of fragile individuals crumbling under ancestral pressure.
At Walden Pond we'll make a life for ourselves and live it
Aspiring to create a meaningful life at Walden Pond, inspired by transcendentalist ideals.
The city is broke and it's taken all I have to give it
Reflecting on the depletion of resources and energy in the city.
At Walden Pond we'll make a life for ourselves and live it
Reiterating the aspiration to build a fulfilling life at Walden Pond.
Far away
Expressing a desire to be far away from the challenges of the city.
At Walden Pond we'll make a life for ourselves and live it
Repetition of the aspiration to build a meaningful life at Walden Pond.
The city is broke and it's taken all I have to give it
Reiteration of the challenges faced in the city.
At Walden Pond we'll make a life for ourselves and live it
Reiteration of the aspiration to build a fulfilling life at Walden Pond.
Far away
Expressing a desire to be far away from the challenges of the city.
