Back in the Station
Journey of Understanding: Back in the Station by The Complication
Lyrics
I have never liked the moment when I was judged
I dislike being judged.
But you understand that, you understand that
Reassurance that the listener understands the dislike of judgment.
If you followed me,
Addressing the consequences of following the speaker.
you wouldn't have caused
Emphasizing that following would avoid unnecessary trouble.
so much unnecessary trouble
Highlighting the difficulty of being the speaker's target.
Being your target is not easy,
Acknowledging the challenge, especially when there's deep dislike.
especially when you despise me to the core
Empty line, possibly for emphasis or a pause.
Circles close, let's talk
Suggesting a conversation about breaking boundaries.
about crossing the boundaries of the world
Exploring the challenges of navigating the world together.
And you know that we won't
Assuming that they won't need a reason to part ways.
have to search for a reason to go
Empty line, possibly for emphasis or a pause.
This place is different every time we enter,
Describing the ever-changing nature of the location.
between the sun and the moon, we circulate
Symbolic movement between the sun and the moon.
We're meant to be together
Belief in a destined connection, despite occasional impatience.
but you don't always wait for me
Not always waiting when the speaker is delayed.
when I'm a little late
Expressing a sense of lateness or delay.
We are back, back in the station
Returning to a familiar place, metaphorically or physically.
Where you dragged me again
Feeling dragged back into a situation by the listener.
to be left in your train
Being left behind in the listener's train.
We are back, back in the station
Repeating the return to the station, emphasizing being alone.
Where you dragged me again to be left alone
Reiteration of being left alone after being dragged back.
See you standing there still a little shy
Observing the listener's presence, still shy but disarming with a smile.
but totally disarming me with a smile
Highlighting the impact of the listener's smile.
Leaving on a morning train I realized
Realization of potential separation as the listener leaves.
We may never see each other for a while
Acknowledging the uncertainty of future meetings.
Circles close, let's talk
Repeating the suggestion of discussing boundary-crossing.
about crossing the boundaries of the world
Revisiting the challenges of navigating the world together.
And you know that we won't
Assuming they won't need a reason to part ways.
have to search for a reason to go
Empty line, possibly for emphasis or a pause.
We are back, back in the station
Feeling dragged back into a situation by the listener.
Where you dragged me again
Being left behind in the listener's train.
to be left in your train
Repeating the return to the station, emphasizing being alone.
We are back, back in the station
Reiteration of being left alone after being dragged back.
Where you dragged me again to be left alone
Empty line, possibly for emphasis or a pause.
I have never liked the moment when I was judged
Conclusion with a repeated dislike of judgment.
