Every Million Miles
Eternal Goodbyes and Endless Highways: The Scurbats' Poetic Reflection
Lyrics
Sitting in this room thinking about what to say
Sitting in contemplation, considering what to communicate
I know that I am gonna lose it anyway
Aware that a loss is inevitable
Staying in the dark thinking about what to do
In a state of uncertainty, pondering on actions to take
So just
Transition to the next part of the narrative
Tell me that you wanna stay
Seeking assurance and confirmation that the other person wants to remain
Tell me that you wanna stay
-Tell me that you wanna stay
-You say goodbye every once in a while
Repetition of the cycle of goodbyes and distance, emphasizing a recurring pattern
I say goodnight every million miles
-You say goodbye every once in a while
-I say goodnight every million miles
-Another cafe lost on this endless highway
Describing a cafe lost in the vast expanse of a seemingly endless journey
Another dead man chosen on election day
Highlighting a somber event, a choice made on election day leading to loss
This time there won't be a hero coming rescue you
Anticipating a lack of rescue or savior in a difficult situation
So just
Asking for direction and decision in the face of challenges
Tell me what you wanna do
-Tell me what you wanna do
-Tell me what you wanna do
-You say goodbye every once in a while
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of goodbyes and distance
I say goodnight every million miles
-You say goodbye every once in a while
-I say goodnight every million miles
-This is what we wanted to live for
Expressing a desire for a meaningful purpose in life
No changes at all we're prisoners of war
Reflecting on a lack of change, feeling constrained like prisoners of war
We can buy what we want, feeling so free
Emphasizing the ability to acquire material possessions and a sense of freedom
Because there's so little to do to be what we want to be
Commenting on the simplicity of achieving personal goals
This is what we wanted to live for
Reiteration of the desired purpose in life
No changes at all we're prisoners of war
Reiteration of a lack of change, feeling like prisoners of war
We can buy what we want, feeling so free
Emphasizing the ability to acquire possessions and a sense of freedom
Because there's nothing we can do to be what we want to be
Acknowledging the limited actions needed to become what one desires
You say goodbye every once in a while
Final repetition of the cycle of goodbyes and distance
I say goodnight every million miles
-You say goodbye every once in a while
-I say goodnight every million miles
