Heading Somewhere
Journey Beyond Broken Hearts: The Artisanals' Urban Odyssey
Lyrics
This city is built on a burial ground
This city has a history rooted in death and sorrow.
The water’s cursed
The water in this city is believed to be under a curse.
The spell never faded out
A magical influence or enchantment in the city persists.
It’s thin ice wherever we stand
The situation is precarious and unstable wherever they are.
I’m getting tired
The speaker is becoming weary and fatigued.
Worrying about all our plans
Anxiety about future plans is taking a toll on the speaker.
Moving along
They are progressing forward despite challenges.
Take my hand I feel like dancing
Invitation to dance, a moment of joy or celebration.
Moving along
Continuing forward with the facade of normalcy.
Let’s pretend this city is not a broken heart
Optimistically ignoring the city's broken nature.
Moving along
Maintaining a positive outlook despite challenges.
Let’s make love in the car
Suggesting an intimate moment in a car.
and then drive out to the desert
After intimacy, a journey to a desolate place.
We’re getting close
Approaching a destination or a significant point.
We’re heading somewhere
Expressing a sense of purpose or direction.
We can’t give up
Encouraging perseverance, not giving up.
We’re heading somewhere
Continuing towards an unspecified destination.
I wanna live in the valley with her
Desire to live in a peaceful place with a loved one.
Reach out at the sun blessed like a king
Aspiring for a life of prosperity and happiness.
The four winds blow fortune and sing
The winds bring good fortune and sing, a positive omen.
I’m beginning to see God in everything
Discovering spirituality in the world around them.
Moving along
Continuing the journey, offering to show something meaningful.
Take my hand I gotta show you something
An invitation to share a significant experience.
Moving along
There are still undiscovered aspects of life.
There’s still secrets left in this life to be told
Implying life's mysteries yet to be revealed.
Moving along
Suggesting a desire for commitment despite hesitations.
I’d ask you to marry me
Hesitation to propose due to concerns about freedom.
but I don’t think that you’d feel free
(Blank line, no specific meaning.)
We’re getting close
Reiterating the proximity to a significant point.
We’re heading somewhere
Expressing a sense of purpose or direction.
We can’t give up
Encouraging perseverance, not giving up.
We’re heading somewhere
Continuing towards an unspecified destination.
Ohh we got this far
Reflecting on the journey's progress so far.
We’re heading somewhere
(Blank line, no specific meaning.)
Seek solace, surrender to the game
Seeking comfort and acceptance in life's uncertainties.
Maybe we’re chosen actors playing pain
Considering life as a scripted performance with pain.
And in the end we’ll bow down to applause
Anticipating recognition and applause at life's end.
From the stage with our costumes off
Acknowledging vulnerability after the act is over.
Take my hand I feel like dancing
Invitation to dance, a moment of joy or celebration (repeated).
Let’s pretend this city is not a broken heart
Optimistically ignoring the city's broken nature (repeated).
Two drifting lovers, fading out in the desert
Describing two individuals fading away in the desert.
