Full Circle
Wandering Through Canyons: Team Callahan's Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Oh man the mountains called my number and won
Expressing a sense of being called by nature, possibly mountains, and achieving victory.
I’m just a lifesize lottery ticket in the hand of the One
Describing oneself as a fortunate outcome, guided by a higher power or fate.
That stress-out freak-out’s gone since we packed up the car
Feeling relieved and free from stress and anxiety after leaving a place.
Now I’m standing in a circle, all your sad faces crowning the yard
Standing in a circle, surrounded by sad faces, perhaps reflecting on the emotional impact of departure.
Hair blowing out the window, got my foot on the dash
Enjoying the journey with carefree attitude, wind in the hair, and a casual stance.
Left my sister at a cheap gas station with no phone or no cash
Leaving someone behind at a gas station with no means of communication or money.
With the miles rolling under my wheels
Reflecting on the distance covered, emphasizing the journey over running away from personal issues.
I’m not running from my troubles I’m running from me
Clarifying that the travel is not an escape from problems but a personal exploration.
All this newness gonna mess up my mind
Acknowledging that new experiences may challenge one's mental state.
Yeah I’m conscious of the future but I’m pressing rewind
Awareness of the future but expressing a desire to revisit the past.
Why can’t I live in my own time?
Questioning the inability to live in the present moment.
Rip off the bandage, baby we gotta get used to it
Encouraging acceptance of change, comparing it to removing a bandage.
Honky-tonk bars and whiskey in this land of the music
Describing a setting with bars and whiskey, emphasizing the cultural aspect.
Halfway home’s the same each side of the state line
Highlighting the similarity of experiences on both sides of a state line.
Inching closer to a mile high city and a sky they say is alpine
Moving towards a city with high elevation and mentioning the alpine sky.
Got no friends but a house the color of a tulip
Having a house of a distinct color but lacking personal connections.
And you’re my culture and my crush and you keep away any of my loneliness
Expressing the importance of a person as a source of culture, crush, and companionship.
But that era had to come to an end
Acknowledging the end of a specific era or phase in life.
Yeah it’s pressed inside our minds but can’t be present again
Reflecting on the impact of the past, present in memories but unattainable.
Oh the canyons really make you smile
Appreciating the positive impact of canyons on one's mood.
Like the weight of being grown up just slid from your scale
Comparing the relief from adult responsibilities to the feeling of weight sliding away.
But problems aren’t solved by a hiking trail
Stating that outdoor activities like hiking trails don't solve life problems.
