Long Distance
Navigating the Distance: Turin Brakes' Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Well if this gets ugly,
Facing a difficult situation
I'd swear,
Expressing a strong affirmation
This ain't our last chance,
Believing there will be future opportunities
The vultures that circle,
Symbolizing challenges or threats
My head,
Inner struggles or negative thoughts
Are flying alongside,
Obstacles accompanying life's journey
The world's turning.
Observing the continuous progression of life
I let somebody get under my skin,
Alluding to vulnerability and emotional impact
Long distance losing is all that I've seen,
Experiencing repeated failures in distant endeavors
Now there's a river
Introducing a metaphorical river representing change
Now there's a river.
Repetition for emphasis on the transformative theme
Nothing can save me,
Feeling helpless, acknowledging inability to be saved
My reserve betrayed me,
Referring to a personal defense mechanism
It calmed the hurricanes,
Crediting the defense mechanism for calming chaos
I'm burning to get there,
Expressing a strong desire to reach a destination
The middle of nowhere,
Being in an isolated or challenging situation
Storm warnings flicker while,
Highlighting warnings in the midst of challenges
The world's turning,
Reiterating the constant movement of life
I let somebody get under my skin,
Repeating vulnerability to emotional impact
Long distance losing is all that I've seen,
Reiterating repeated failures in distant endeavors
Now there's a river
Reintroducing the metaphorical river
Now there's a river.
Repetition for emphasis on the transformative theme
I let somebody get under my skin,
Repeating vulnerability to emotional impact
Long distance losing is all that I've seen,
Reiterating repeated failures in distant endeavors
Now there's a river
Reintroducing the metaphorical river
Now there's a river
Repetition for emphasis on the transformative theme
