Night Train
Farewell to the Known: Night Train's Journey
Lyrics
Goodbye to me and you
Expressing farewell to both the speaker and the listener.
Goodbye to the life we knew
Saying goodbye to the familiar life shared by the speaker and the listener.
One last long embrace
Describing a final, lingering hug or embrace.
Let go and walk on through
Encouraging detachment and moving forward in life.
I'm leaving everything behind
Leaving behind all possessions and connections for an elusive inner peace.
For a peace that I can't find
Seeking a sense of tranquility that seems unattainable.
The ghosts that roam this house
Referring to haunting memories or regrets within the speaker's living space.
Like winter air right through our souls
Comparing haunting memories to a chilling presence affecting their souls.
And it feels like dying
Expressing a feeling akin to the emotional pain of death.
It just feels like time to go
Sensing that the time has come to move on from the current situation.
Goin' down south to dream another dream
Heading south with the intention of pursuing new dreams.
Maybe check out Memphis, Tennessee
Considering exploring Memphis, Tennessee as part of the journey.
Take the night train and an extra pair of jeans
Choosing the night train and minimal possessions for the journey.
Can't think of anything else I really need
Emphasizing the simplicity of needs for the upcoming adventure.
And all my experiences ride with me
Carrying past experiences as valuable companions for the journey.
This town is dead to me
Declaring a detachment from the current location, considering it lifeless.
And I can't stop chasing my dreams
Continuing to pursue personal dreams despite challenges or sacrifices.
I love you more than anything
Expressing deep love, but acknowledging an inability to meet certain expectations.
But what you want I could never be
Recognizing the disparity between the speaker's aspirations and the listener's desires.
I love you more than anything
Reiterating profound love while emphasizing the necessity of individual freedom.
But only alone can we both be free
Highlighting the idea that true freedom can only be experienced in solitude.
Goodbye to me and you
Repeating the farewell sentiments to both the speaker and the listener.
Goodbye to the life we knew
Echoing the goodbye to the familiar life shared by the speaker and the listener.
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Encouraging the listener to overcome sadness and move forward.
Let go and walk on through
Reiterating the theme of letting go and progressing in life.
