Passenger
Journey Through Broken Roads: Tara MacLean's Passenger
Lyrics
Have you been the broken one
Reflecting on being the one who is emotionally or physically shattered.
Lying by the side of the road
Metaphorically lying in a vulnerable position, exposed and helpless.
Waiting for a good Samaritan
Waiting for help or kindness from others (Good Samaritan).
But no one has the time to ask,
Expressing the lack of time or interest from others to inquire about one's pain.
Why are you bleeding?
Pondering the cause of suffering and the extent of the journey ahead.
And are you going far?
Questioning the distance and challenges in the journey.
All the rest has left
Noticing the absence of support or companionship.
This burden on my chest
Feeling the weight of emotional burdens on the speaker's chest.
Can you see the air is angry
Observing tension or conflict in the atmosphere.
Collapsing into nothing
Describing a sense of deterioration or disintegration.
For the soul has risen
Acknowledging spiritual elevation without complete forgiveness.
But never has forgiven
Implies a lingering sense of resentment or unresolved issues.
So we stay and starve the heart to make a living
Choosing to endure emotional starvation for the sake of survival.
Have you seen the hungry ones
Drawing attention to those in need, possibly mirroring the speaker's own struggles.
Digging in the sand
Depicting people searching desperately for sustenance.
Once a sleeping passenger
Describing someone who was once oblivious but is now awakened to the challenges of life.
Awoke into this tired land
Highlighting weariness and exhaustion in the world.
Last chance to find out where I am
Suggesting a last opportunity to discover one's location or purpose.
All the rest has left
Reiterating the absence of support or companionship.
This burden on my chest
Expressing the ongoing burden on the speaker's emotions.
Can you see the air is angry
Noticing tension or conflict in the atmosphere, possibly intensifying.
Collapsing into nothing
Describing a sense of deterioration or disintegration persisting.
For the soul has risen
Reiterating spiritual elevation without complete forgiveness.
But never has forgiven
Indicating lingering resentment or unresolved issues.
So we stay and starve the heart to make a living
Choosing to endure emotional starvation for the sake of survival, echoing earlier sentiments.
