Beyond The Palisades
Beyond the Palisades: A Poetic Journey Through Memories and Goodbyes
Lyrics
Look around you can see this city tremble
Observing the city and sensing its instability
Make a sound and you just might hear it crumble
Suggesting that making noise could reveal the city's vulnerability
Rolling down that old California incline
Descending the old incline in California
Looking for that friend of mine
Searching for a specific friend
It's been a long long time
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time
Still amazed when I hear the rollers breaking
Being amazed by the sound of waves breaking
Nowadays with every breath I'm taking
Reflecting on the value of each breath
Brings me back to when we would walk together,
Recalling moments of walking together
We were young we swore we'd be just fine
Reminiscing about youth and the confidence of being okay
It's been a long long time
Reiterating the significant passage of time
Gonna leave it behind
Deciding to move on from the past
Let the sunset find me
Letting the sunset mark a symbolic transition
Out beyond the Palisades where we'll say goodbye
Heading beyond the Palisades to bid farewell
It's been a long long time
Repeating the acknowledgment of a considerable amount of time passed
Crazy how when the madness meets the ocean
Highlighting the intensity when chaos meets the calmness of the ocean
I still drown in the waves of your devotion
Feeling overwhelmed by the waves of deep emotional commitment
In the slow crime of the winter time
Describing the slow, contemplative nature of winter
As the sun floats by
Noting the passage of time with the sun's movement
It's been a long long time
Reiterating the prolonged duration experienced
Gonna leave it behind
Choosing to leave the past behind
Let the sunset find me
Allowing the sunset to guide the way forward
Out beyond the Palisades where we'll say goodbye
Heading beyond the Palisades for a final goodbye
It's been a long long time
Reaffirming the sense of the substantial passage of time
It's been a long long time
Repeating acknowledgment of a long duration
Gonna leave it behind
Deciding to leave the past and embrace a new phase
Let the moonlight find me
Allowing the moonlight to illuminate the way forward
Out beyond the Palisades, we'll say goodbye
Heading beyond the Palisades for a final goodbye under the moonlight
It's been a long long time
Reiterating the recognition of a significant passage of time
