Driving Home
Journey through Shadows: Tess Berger's Evocative Driving Home
Lyrics
I see you through the trees
Observing someone from a distance, possibly metaphorically represented as seeing through the trees.
A soft breath, a mindless ease
Noticing a gentle exhale, suggesting a relaxed and carefree state of mind.
I hear the floorboards creak underneath
Hearing the sound of creaking floorboards, possibly indicating movement or change.
All the shower water I asked you not to leave
Referencing a shared space and a request not followed, symbolized by shower water left running.
Winding through the mountains
Driving through mountainous terrain, evoking a journey with natural beauty.
You see the colors of the leaves
Noticing and appreciating the changing colors of leaves, symbolizing the passage of time.
I'm driving you home in the dark
Driving someone home in the dark, possibly implying emotional support or companionship.
My hands are cold but my car is warm
Contrasting physical sensations, with cold hands but a warm car, suggesting inner conflict or duality.
You try really hard but you fall asleep anyway
Describing an effort to stay awake, possibly reflecting struggles or challenges.
We put out the fake log fire too early
Prematurely extinguishing a fake log fire, metaphorically ending warmth or comfort too soon.
Billowing smoke, the neighbors didn't say a thing
Not receiving feedback from neighbors about a potential mistake or unconventional action.
At least not to me
Expressing uncertainty about others' perceptions, specifically whether neighbors commented.
I said "dark paint makes the room look smaller"
Offering a subjective opinion about dark paint while acknowledging its personal impact.
But it makes me feel fancy
Finding a sense of elegance or sophistication in the midst of aesthetic choices.
I hung a crystal in the window
Decorating with a crystal, introducing a visual element that transforms light into colors.
Now there are rainbow shards on the wall
Resulting in rainbow shards on the wall, appreciating the unintended beauty despite personal preferences.
Not my vibe, but they're objectively magical
Acknowledging the magical quality objectively, even if it doesn't align with personal taste.
I sit on the bare floor in the empty living room
Sitting on a bare floor in an empty living room, possibly symbolizing a transitional or introspective moment.
I'm driving home alone in the dark
Driving home alone in the dark, suggesting solitude and contemplation.
It'll get better when I stop thinking of you
Anticipating improvement in emotional state by intentionally shifting focus away from someone.
