Between the Ditches
Finding Home Between Life's Ditches
Lyrics
Don't look up now it's coming down
Warning not to look up as something is falling down
Rains-a-fallin' everywhere
Describing widespread rainfall
Everyone and everything around these days
Observation that people and everything seem indifferent
Seem to not really care at all
Noted lack of concern from the surroundings
So I'ma pack up and leave this place
Decision to leave the current place
I'm headed back home
Heading back home
Somewhere between the ditches
Reference to being somewhere between difficulties or challenges
And I, I don't know when it's gonna happen
Uncertainty about when a significant event will occur
But I, I know someday it will
Belief that the significant event will happen someday
And I still remember that blue October
Recollection of a specific time, "blue October"
Felt it in your eyes and on your skin
Sensory experience of "blue October" in eyes and skin
And I thought we would learn to live again
Expectation of learning to live again
Between the ditches
Reiteration of being between difficulties or challenges
I come from the northeast edge of a city cut down to quarters
Description of the speaker's origin on the outskirts of a city
They never really liked me much, so I headed east across the border
Reason for moving east due to dislike
And they still don't like me here, but they don't need to
Acknowledgment of not being liked in the new place
To hear my songs
Indifference to people's opinion, focusing on music
And I, I don't know when it's gonna happen
Reiteration of uncertainty about a future event
But I, I know someday it will (I know someday it will)
Confident belief that the event will happen someday
And I still remember that blue October (I still remember)
Recollection of a past experience, "blue October"
Felt it in your eyes and on your skin
Reiteration of sensory experience in eyes and skin
And I thought we would learn to live again
Hopeful expectation of learning to live again
Between the ditches
Reiteration of being between difficulties or challenges
And I, I don't know when it's gonna happen
Uncertainty about the timing of a future event
But I, I know someday it will (I know someday it will)
Confident belief in the eventual occurrence of the event
And I still remember that blue October (I still remember)
Recollection of a specific time, "blue October"
Felt it in your eyes and on your skin
Reiteration of sensory experience in eyes and skin
And I, I don't know when it's gonna happen
Uncertainty about the timing of a future event
But I, I know someday it will (know someday it will)
Confident belief in the eventual occurrence of the event
And I still remember that blue October (I still remember)
Recollection of a specific time, "blue October"
Felt it in your eyes and on your skin
Reiteration of sensory experience in eyes and skin
And I thought we would learn to live again
Hopeful expectation of learning to live again
Between the ditches
Reiteration of being between difficulties or challenges
Between the ditches
Final repetition of being between difficulties or challenges
