Bayham Abbey
Journey to Solitude: Bayham Abbey's Secret Passion
Lyrics
Well, it wasn't in the brochure and the roads were closed
Encountering unexpected obstacles, possibly related to travel plans.
We were just diverted from Dover
Deviation from the intended route, redirected from Dover.
So we split the shallow seas of a pebbled road
Navigating a pebbled road symbolizing challenges.
We got to Bayham Abbey, we were almost alone
Arrival at Bayham Abbey with a sense of solitude, repeated for emphasis.
We got to Bayham Abbey, we were almost alone
-We got to Bayham Abbey, we were almost alone
-We got to Bayham Abbey, we were almost alone
-Well, the ancient tree cracked through monastery stone
An ancient tree breaking through monastery stone, a juxtaposition of nature and man-made structures.
Beside some dead duke's holiday home
Reference to a deceased duke's holiday home near the cracked tree.
Well, I feel the kind of passion that the monks are banned from knowing
Feeling a forbidden passion akin to what monks are prohibited from experiencing.
Around the ruins of Bayham Abbey, we were almost alone
Amidst the ruins of Bayham Abbey, a repetition of the almost solitary experience.
Around the ruins of Bayham Abbey, we were almost alone
-Standing on the rocks, hiding behind an arch with nothing to hold up
Describing a scene on rocks, behind an arch, with a sense of fragility and nothing to support.
I kissed you on a platform of demolished bricks
Kissing on a platform of demolished bricks, a romantic act amidst ruins.
I never thought there'd be such magic in it
Expressing surprise at finding magic in the unexpected.
Never reached the castle that was on the coast
Failure to reach a coastal castle due to wrong turns.
We made all the wrong turns on the road
Reflecting on taking the incorrect paths during the journey.
I never thought I'd love a day this slow
Appreciating an unexpectedly slow day, contrary to expectations.
It doesn't really matter, cause I'm not alone
Emphasizing that being alone doesn't matter, possibly due to the meaningful experiences.
It doesn't really matter, cause I'm not alone
-It doesn't really matter, cause I'm not alone
-It doesn't really matter, cause I'm not alone
-I'm not alone
Reiteration of not being alone, emphasizing a sense of connection or contentment.
I'm not alone
-I'm not alone
