Sundown Caravan
Unveiling Boundaries: The Narrative of Sundown Caravan
Lyrics
Everything was calm inside the camp
Describes a peaceful atmosphere within the camp.
When everyone’s asleep I understand
Acknowledges understanding during the quiet hours of the night.
You don’t speak the same language as we
Highlights a language barrier between the speaker and someone else.
Two outsides don't make a territory
Suggests that two outsiders cannot establish a shared territory.
I want you to know that
Expresses a desire for the other person to understand something.
You don’t have to hang bait for me
Assures that there's no need for manipulation; honesty is preferred.
Hold your tongue, sit, and wait for me
Encourages patience and restraint in communication.
As our caravan rolls to the shore
Imagery of a caravan heading towards the shore, symbolizing a journey.
I see it as two seats that we keep warm
Portrays the caravan seats as shared, indicating a connection.
This cannot go on and on
Suggests a realization that the current situation is unsustainable.
Starting to transgress the borderline
Describes a violation of boundaries, possibly in a relationship.
Mixing your confusion in with mine
Refers to a merging of confusion between the speaker and the other person.
The time has come to pay the penalty
Indicates a time for consequences or facing the results of actions.
For the sand from in your shoes you give to me
Symbolizes receiving something undesirable from the other person.
You should really know that
Emphasizes the importance of self-awareness.
The way that you see yourself
States that the speaker is not concerned with the other person's self-perception.
Is not my business, not my thing to sell
Clarifies the speaker's detachment from the other person's self-image.
When your mood is up, you give applause
Notes the tendency to appreciate positive moments but not to intervene negatively.
But now your on the floor the bill is yours
Highlights accountability when things go wrong.
This cannot go on and on
Reiterates the unsustainability of the current situation.
