GHOST IN THE MACHINE
Journey Through Memories: Ghost in the Machine by Sparky in the Clouds
Lyrics
When the winter's almost over
Reference to the end of a difficult period (winter) or challenges.
Take a look at where we are
Reflection on the current situation or circumstance.
To forget is to remember
Suggesting that forgetting is a way of remembering.
I've never been this close so far
Expressing a paradoxical feeling of being close yet far.
Caught a day dream of memories
Recollection of past memories through a daydream.
Saw the ghost in the machine
Mention of encountering something mysterious or elusive.
Heard his voice on the breeze, saying please
Hearing a request (please) from the mysterious entity.
Turn turn the wheel, turn the wheel,
Repetition emphasizing the act of turning a wheel, possibly a metaphor for change or control.
Turn turn the wheel, turn the wheel
-Oh the fading gaze of wonder
Observation of a fading sense of wonder.
Stores the past in a jar
Metaphorical storing of the past experiences.
Now the storm and the thunder
Reference to challenges and difficulties (storm and thunder).
Give me a hand up to the stars
Seeking help or support to reach lofty goals (stars).
Caught a day dream of memories
Reiteration of the recollection of memories through daydreams.
Saw the ghost in the machine
Reiteration of encountering the mysterious entity.
Heard his voice on the breeze, saying please
Reiteration of hearing a plea or request.
Turn turn the wheel, turn the wheel,
Continued emphasis on the act of turning a wheel.
Turn turn the wheel, turn the wheel
-Tears fall, how I call
Expressing sorrow or emotional pain.
Demons in the night
Reference to inner struggles or challenges represented as demons.
Harder, I'll bite the pain
Determination to endure and withstand pain.
Holding out 'til the light
Continued determination to endure until the arrival of light or resolution.
Holding out 'til the light
-Morning and the pages turning
Transition to a new day, with pages turning symbolizing the passage of time.
And the words softly say
Words on the pages conveying a message, possibly a lesson or insight.
Close my eyes to the feeling
Shutting off emotions or avoiding feelings.
It never really goes away
The persistence of certain emotions or experiences.
Caught a day dream of memories
Reiteration of memories through daydreams.
Saw the ghost in the machine
Reiteration of encountering the mysterious entity.
Heard his voice on the breeze, saying please
Reiteration of hearing a plea or request.
Turn turn the wheel, turn the wheel,
Continued emphasis on the act of turning a wheel.
Turn turn the wheel, turn the wheel
-Turn turn the wheel, turn the wheel,
Final emphasis on the repeated act of turning a wheel, underlining the theme of change or control.
Turn turn the wheel, turn the wheel
