The Avalanche
Navigating the Avalanche of Self-Discovery: Sufjan Stevens' Journey Unveiled
Lyrics
I call you cabin neighbors
I refer to you as my cabin neighbors.
I call you once my friends
I consider you my friends.
But I trust when you labor
I trust you when you work hard.
And put my head to rest
You provide a sense of comfort that allows me to rest my head.
But I was on the hatch
I was on the hatch, possibly metaphorical for being in a precarious situation.
I was on the avalanche
I was caught in an avalanche, a powerful and uncontrollable force.
And I had found my match
I found a suitable counterpart or challenge.
I was on the floor
I was defeated or overwhelmed, possibly emotionally.
I took a train from Virginia
I traveled by train from Virginia to Illinois, my home.
To Illinois, my home
Illinois is considered the speaker's home.
He said â??I knew you had it in you
Someone acknowledged the speaker's potential for independent thinking.
A mind to make its ownâ??
Encouragement for the speaker's ability to think for themselves.
But I was on the hatch
The speaker faced a challenging situation again.
Riding on the avalanche
The speaker was riding or experiencing the avalanche.
I tried to take it back
The speaker attempted to retract or undo something.
I was on the floor
The speaker ended up defeated or overwhelmed once more.
Come on stone

-Come on feet
-Come on face

-Come on song
-Move it fast
-Move it along
-Come on life
-Come on Lord
-Make it right
-Make it yours
