A Ghost at the Wheel
Navigating Silence: A Ghost's Odyssey in Tourniquet's Melody
Lyrics
You finally noticed
You have become aware or acknowledged something.
Did it dawn on you slowly
Did the realization come to you gradually?
Or was it a blast of cold air
Or did it hit you suddenly, like a blast of cold air?
You're adrift on an ocean of silence
You are feeling isolated, surrounded by quietness.
You've lost track of the last time there was anyone here
It has been a long time since anyone has been around.
You sought the silence
You actively sought solitude and dismissed those with different views.
Scuttled any and all who didn't see things the same
You eliminated or rejected anyone who disagreed with you.
Your actions turned quickly to habits
Your behaviors became ingrained patterns or routines.
You slipped your moorings
You let go of your anchor or stability.
And soon you were drifting away
As a result, you started drifting away from your grounding.
Swept with the tide
Carried along by external forces.
Pulled out to sea
Pulled away by the tide of circumstances.
No course or sense of direction
No clear path or purpose in your movement.
Swept with the tide
Continuing to be carried away by the tide.
Pulled out to sea
Being drawn further into the sea.
A lost ship adrift
Now a ship lost and aimless.
With a ghost at the wheel
A metaphorical presence steering, but not in control.
To some you're a memory
For some, you exist only as a memory.
Others choose to say I do not remember at all
Others claim they have no recollection of you.
Some wait and pray and scan the horizon
Some are waiting, hoping, and praying for your return.
Hoping that one day they'll see you come home
Anticipating the day they might see you again.
Swept with the tide
Continuing to be carried away by external forces.
Pulled out to sea
Being pulled further into the sea.
A lost ship adrift
Now a ship lost and aimless.
With a ghost at the wheel
A metaphorical presence steering, but not in control.
