Grace
Chasing Grace: A Journey through Love and Loss
Lyrics
When she walked away the train came
Her departure coincided with the arrival of a train.
When she walked away the train came
Repetition emphasizes the significance of her leaving and the train's arrival.
We were gonna get aboard in fur coats
Plans to board a train together, symbolized by fur coats, suggesting a journey.
You and me would be only alone
The anticipation of being alone with each other on the train.
We'd be rollin around under fast clouds
Envisioning a carefree time together under fast-moving clouds.
And there'd be wine stains on our mouths
Imagery of wine stains on mouths, possibly signifying shared moments and experiences.
But I don't know where we'd go
Uncertainty about the destination or future of the relationship.
But I don't know where we'd go
Repetition emphasizes the uncertainty and lack of a clear path.
But I don't know where we'd go
Further expressing the unknown destination and the ambiguous nature of their journey.
When has that stopped us before
A reflection on past experiences, suggesting resilience despite uncertainties.
When she walked away the train came
Reiteration of the connection between her departure and the train's arrival.
When she walked away the train came
Continued emphasis on the impact of her leaving and the train's arrival.
And it started to rain and she became
The onset of rain symbolizes a change in circumstances or emotions.
A washed out girl in a picture frame I made
She becomes a faded, washed-out version in a picture frame, possibly reflecting emotional distress.
I got on anyway
Despite the challenges, the narrator decides to board the train anyway.
Throwing coal over the railing
Act of throwing coal may represent effort or contribution to the journey.
Trying to pray
An attempt at prayer, indicating a desire for guidance or intervention.
Good god give me Grace
An appeal for divine assistance, invoking the name Grace.
Grace
Repetition of the plea for Grace, emphasizing its importance.
Meet me at the end of this place
Suggesting a meeting point at the conclusion of their current circumstances.
Meet me in the middle of a bridge that burned away
The bridge that burned away signifies a past obstacle or challenge that can't be revisited.
