Untethered
Journey Through the Storm: Untethered Dreams and the Longing for Freedom
Lyrics
I dreamed last night I was blown apart and busted
I had a dream where I felt emotionally shattered and broken.
Sidestepped my way into the path of a hurricane
I avoided problems but found myself in the midst of a chaotic situation, like stepping into the path of a hurricane.
For the first time in my life, I felt untethered
For the first time ever, I experienced a sense of being disconnected or unrestrained.
I wonder when I might feel that way again
I ponder when I might experience that sense of freedom or detachment again.
Take the last train from the station
I decide to leave, taking the final train from the station.
And keep my eyes open while I can
I stay vigilant and aware while I can.
I hope we get back home by morning
I hope to return home by morning.
See the sunrise on the desert once again
I aspire to witness the sunrise in the desert once more.
Time moves slowly and it's over
Time feels slow, and eventually, it comes to an end.
The shadows fall and box us in
The challenges and difficulties surround and confine us.
I dream a dream of California
I dream about California, symbolizing a desired and distant place.
Try to make it home when I can
I strive to return home whenever possible.
I dreamed last night I was blown apart and busted
Repetition of the dream where I felt shattered and broken.
Sidestepped my way into the path of a hurricane
Reiteration of sidestepping into chaos, akin to a hurricane.
For the first time in my life, I felt untethered
Repeating the feeling of being untethered for the first time.
I wonder when I might feel that way again
Reiterating the contemplation of when that liberating feeling might recur.
Wonder when I might feel that way again
A continuation of the contemplation about experiencing that sense of freedom again.
