Speed and Sleep
Navigating Chaos: A Journey Through Unstuck-ness and Resilience
Lyrics
Was a man took a hand, cleared the ground
A man took action and prepared the land.
Dug a hole we called home
He created a dwelling by digging a hole.
Sprawled here
The person or people lived sprawled or relaxed in this place.
Eleven years, forty-four seasons
They lived there for eleven years, experiencing forty-four seasons.
We came unstuck and it stung
They became unstuck from their situation, causing emotional pain.
Unstuck-ness flew me
The feeling of being unstuck propelled the speaker.
Though the air whispered in my ear
The surroundings communicated chaos and discomfort.
This is chaos and it stings
The chaos caused a stinging sensation.
Tiny strings across the United States
Connections span across the United States, linking people.
Run from you to me and to everyone we ever breathed with
These connections involve everyone they've interacted with.
I don't care if you're sad
The speaker doesn't mind the listener's sadness.
I don't care if you're heart is breaking
The speaker doesn't mind if the listener's heart is broken.
You soothe me and you turn me on
The listener's actions comfort and excite the speaker.
Speed and sleep
The contrast between fast-paced activity and restful sleep.
I lock the dogs in the car
The dogs are secured in the car while the speaker moves swiftly.
And cut across the parking
The speaker moves quickly across the parking area.
L'm far away today
The speaker feels emotionally distant or detached today.
But I might as well not be
Despite the distance, there's an emotional connection.
You quit making mistakes
The listener stopped making mistakes.
I might not leave
The speaker might not leave if this continues.
You quit making mistakes
Reiteration that the listener stopped making mistakes.
I might just stay
The speaker might stay if this positive behavior continues.
