Lyrics
well i used to be in a marching band
Reflecting on a past involvement in a marching band.
Got out of school i made a new plan
After finishing school, the speaker made a new life plan.
then I had a friend who was from minnesota
Introducing a friend from Minnesota.
they moved down south to a place in pensacola
The friend's relocation to Pensacola, located in the southern part of the U.S.
so i moved away into the middle of the state
Following the friend's move, the speaker relocated to the middle of the state.
i set up camp and made a new place
Establishing a new place and settling down.
i taught myself how to get by
Self-sufficiency and learning how to manage without formal education.
i worked odd jobs and made a couple dollars
Working various jobs to earn some income.
I stared at wall, then i looked outside
Contemplating life by staring at a wall and then observing the outside world.
took a long breath until didn’t hide
Taking a deep breath, possibly signifying a moment of reflection or decision-making.
I started to walk, it began to rain
Embarking on a journey, both literally and metaphorically, as it begins to rain.
I was running along to catch that trai-a-n
Running to catch a train, symbolizing pursuit and movement.
I used to listen to the Beatles and the stones,
Early musical influences include the Beatles and the Stones.
Then I found some bands like the move and the ramones
Discovering additional bands like the Move and the Ramones.
we made some friends who’d we met in the city
Making friends in the city.
we lost a few but you know you have carry along
Experiencing losses but emphasizing the need to carry on.
I always go back to sitting in a room
Continued preference for being alone and immersed in creative pursuits.
Strumming to myself and working on a new tune
Engaging in personal musical development and songwriting.
