Nothing Is a Stranger
Journey Through Shadows: Embracing the Familiar Unknown
Lyrics
Spent another season in the valley of the bones
Reflecting on spending time in a difficult or desolate place.
But higher grounds was callin, callin me back home
Feeling the pull to return to a better, higher place or state.
109 answers to 110 proofs
A sense of almost having all the answers but not quite.
Back up to my bed o' nails and my leakin roof
Returning to uncomfortable or difficult circumstances.
Hold me sober and hold me still
Seeking restraint or stability.
Hold my past up against my will
Confronting past experiences against one's wishes.
Nothing's wrong when your head is gone
When disconnected from reality, problems seem to vanish.
Nothing is a stranger to me now
Embracing unfamiliarity or change.
All that good behavior I knew it wouldn't last
Realizing that adhering to positive behavior can't last forever.
At the funeral of fossils, I buried up the past
Putting past experiences to rest symbolically.
But just like I predicted the past came jumpnig up
Expecting past issues to resurface.
Jumped up like a devil who had finally seen enough
Old problems resurfacing intensely.
Hold me sober and hold me still
Desiring stability and sobriety amidst chaos.
Hold my past up against my will
Forced to confront and deal with past experiences.
Nothing's wrong when your head is gone
A sense of freedom when detached from reality.
Nothing is a stranger to me now
Being open to unfamiliar experiences or feelings.
Saw a lighthouse in the wheatfield where I drove off the road
Seeing hope but encountering disappointment.
But, when I got there, there was nothing but darkness in a hole
Arriving at a place of anticipation only to find disappointment.
And down inside I saw my favorite place
Discovering a familiar place in ruins.
Furniture all busted and the arson on her face
Seeing destruction and damage in a familiar setting.
Nothing is a stranger to me
Embracing the unfamiliar or changed circumstances.
Nothing is a stranger to me
Reiterating acceptance of the unknown or changed.
Nothing is a stranger to me now
Concluding acceptance of the unfamiliar.
