Delaware
Journey Within: Navigating Life's Chaos Through West Branch's 'Delaware'
Lyrics
Stuck in traffic
Feeling trapped in a situation, possibly metaphorical, like being stuck in traffic.
I lose myself
Feeling lost or disconnected from oneself.
To all the thoughts
Engaged in contemplation or introspection.
Keep me from being well
Struggling with thoughts that hinder well-being.
Just want to go home
Desire to return home, seeking comfort.
Can you all drive like hell
Urging others to drive quickly to alleviate the feeling of being stuck.
Cause that's what it feels like
Describing the internal feeling as if driving fast.
Inside myself
Internal turmoil and stress.
The traffic is too much
Repetition emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the traffic, possibly symbolizing life's challenges.
The traffic is too much
-The traffic is too much
-The traffic is too much
-The traffic is too much
-The traffic is too much
-Too much
Continuation of the intensity or excessiveness of the challenges.
Too much
-Too much
-Too much
-South side's way different
Contrasting the south side with a different atmosphere.
Gonna feel like you're on a different planet
Expectation of feeling like being on a different planet.
But still the same state that's just a minute
Despite differences, still part of the same state.
So
Transition to a reflective moment.
Take a second
Encouraging to pause and recognize future rewards.
And realize that it's all gonna be worth it when you face yourself for a moment
Reflection on self-worth and its realization.
And slide back to the music
Returning to music for solace.
I know this world gonna choke it
Acknowledging challenges but advising to handle discreetly.
But keep it lowkey and you're gonna hold it
-Gonna hold it
Emphasizing the need to endure difficulties.
I know you haven't seen me in a while
Expressing absence, acknowledging anxiety, and finding meaning in life.
But I'm not coming back to say goodbye
-Though the anxiety runs high
-I now know what it means to be alive
-Start of with a question
Describing a downward spiral, cautioning about its consequences.
Then on to a crisis
-It's a spiral that they warn is wrong
-If you keep on going
-Those cracks will be showing
-When you see the money in their song
Highlighting the negative outcomes of compromising integrity for success.
Sell out for a poser
-Sell out for some power
-Have you asking what the hell went wrong
-Westside Evergreen
Reference to a specific location (Westside Evergreen) and explaining absence.
Don't slide it next to me
-That's why I've been gone so long
-I know you haven't seen me in a while
Reiteration of absence, anxiety, and newfound appreciation for life.
But I'm not coming back to say goodbye
-Though the anxiety runs high
-I now know what it means to be alive
-First state for a reason
Describing the significance of being the "First state" for a certain period.
First rate for a season
-Then a storm crashes hard in my head
Introducing a metaphorical storm in the mind and contemplating an alternative.
I thought for a moment
-Then thought for a minute
-Would it be much better instead
-I don't want to scare you
Expressing concern about a deteriorating relationship.
I don't want to lose you
-But it seems like its already dead
-I need to be better
Recognizing a need for personal growth and a commitment to love.
I need to be honest
-Decided towards love instead
