Lyrics

I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real

Feeling disconnected from reality or authenticity.

I'm across the road from hope

Being close to hope but separated from it.

I'm under a bridge in a rip tide, that's taken

Feeling trapped in a difficult situation that's taking away everything owned or cherished.

Everything I call my own

A sense of loss or displacement regarding possessions or identity.


One step closer to knowing

Continuously progressing towards gaining understanding or insight.

One step closer to knowing

-

I'm on an island at a busy intersection

Isolated in a crowded, bustling place, feeling stuck and unable to move.

I can't go forward, I can't turn back

Feeling trapped, unable to progress or retreat.

Can't see the future

A sense of uncertainty about what lies ahead.

It's getting away from me

Feeling like the future is slipping away or becoming inaccessible.

I just watch the tail lights glowing

Observing others moving forward while feeling stagnant.


One step closer to knowing

Continued emphasis on the journey towards understanding or clarity.

One step closer to knowing

-

One step closer to knowing

-

Knowing, knowing

-

I'm hanging out to dry

Feeling abandoned or exposed with past experiences or emotions still lingering.

With my old clothes

-

Finger still red with the prick of an old rose

-

Well, the heart that hurts

-

Is a heart that beats

-

Can you hear the drummer slowing?

-

One step closer to knowing

Reiteration of moving closer to gaining knowledge or insight.

One step closer to knowing

-

One step closer to knowing

-

To knowing, to knowing, to knowing

-

One step closer to knowing

Repeated emphasis on the pursuit of understanding.

One step closer to knowing

-

One step closer to knowing

-

To knowing, to knowing, to knowing

-
