On Division
Wandering Through Division: A Journey of Thirst and Longing
Lyrics
We talked all day
We engaged in conversation throughout the day.
About moving away
The topic of discussion revolved around the idea of relocating.
But we both knew
Despite our discussion, we both acknowledged that we were not making any actual moves.
We weren't going anywhere
We decided not to pursue any significant changes or ventures.
Unpack your bags and
Instead of moving, we suggest settling down and establishing ourselves in the current place.
Plant your flags and slow it down
Make a commitment and take things slow.
While the world shrinks every day
The world seems to be shrinking every day, feeling distant and unreachable.
Like everywhere is a million miles away
Every place feels as if it's a considerable distance away.
And we got that thirst for something
We have a strong desire for something more intense and harsh.
A little stronger, a little cruel
Our craving is for experiences that are a bit more challenging.
So we left town, past the courthouse
We departed from our hometown, passing significant landmarks.
Past the graveyard, past the school
Mention of key locations like the courthouse, graveyard, and school.
And like always, made a right turn
Following our usual pattern, we took a right turn onto Division, heading south.
On Division, heading south
Continuing the journey on a specific road named Division.
As I drove past, empty storefronts
Observation of empty shops as we drove past.
Past the playground, past your house
Passing familiar locations, including a playground and your house.
Take the same bad beats
We face the same challenges and difficulties in these deteriorating streets.
In these crumbling streets
It's not surprising how things unfold and play out in this environment.
It's no surprise how everything gets played
Highlighting the inevitability of events in this setting.
But we still feel wild
Despite the circumstances, we still experience moments of excitement and freedom occasionally.
Every once in a while
We retain a wild and unrestrained feeling at times.
Get the calendars out and
We consult our calendars to plan our departure day.
Pick our departure day
However, each time we plan to leave, it feels like a distant future.
But every time it's a million years away
Despite our plans, the departure always seems far away.
And we got that thirst for something
Reiteration of the desire for something more intense and harsh.
A little stronger, a little cruel
The longing for experiences that are a bit more challenging persists.
So we left town, past the courthouse
We leave town again, passing familiar landmarks.
Past the graveyard, past the school
Mention of locations like the courthouse, graveyard, and school once more.
And like always, made a right turn
As usual, we make a right turn onto Division, heading south.
On Division, heading south
Continuing the journey on the road named Division.
As I drove past, empty storefronts
Driving past empty shops once again.
Past the playground, past your house
Passing by familiar locations, including a playground and your house.
Now I'm long gone, in the same binds
Now, I am far away, facing similar challenges.
Overdrafted, hand to mouth
Experiencing financial struggles, living hand to mouth.
And I drive past empty storefronts
Driving past empty shops again.
Past the playground, to my house
Passing the playground and arriving at my house.
