Some Conversation
Journey of Self-Discovery: Wishbone Ash's 'Some Conversation' Meaning
Lyrics
I'm taking off this hat
I'm abandoning a certain identity or role.
And walking to the sun.
I'm moving towards brightness and positivity.
I'm changing this and that and things
I'm making various changes and moving on from people.
I'm done with everyone.
I've reached a point of detachment from everyone.
I slip into the sea
I'm immersing myself in the unknown or a new experience.
And turn my back on sand
I'm leaving the familiar (sand) behind.
And diamonds that may be, or not.
Reference to uncertainties (diamonds) that may or may not matter.
I'll play the final hand.
I'm making a decisive move or decision.
To check it all
Considering and evaluating everything.
And throw it all away,
Discarding everything without hesitation.
But I would always wait for you.
Despite the changes, there's a commitment to waiting for someone.
I'll pass my time in sleep
Passing time in a state of rest or withdrawal.
With dreams that make me weep
Dreams are emotionally impactful.
And all I want's an explanation.
Desire for an explanation or understanding.
The little time I need
Minimal time required.
The time you won't concede
Time that the other person refuses to grant.
And we require some conversation.
Expressing a need for meaningful communication.
I'm checking off this list
Checking off completed or unnecessary tasks.
Of things that stay undone
Avoiding responsibilities that linger.
And running hard when called upon
Reacting energetically when called upon.
I'm done with everyone.
Reiterating the detachment from everyone.
I step into the air
Moving freely and without constraints.
My face against the ground
Facing challenges head-on.
Foot prints that may lead or not
Footprints represent guidance that may or may not be reliable.
Never let me down.
Emphasizing trust in oneself.
To check it all
Reevaluating everything.
And throw it all away
Discarding without hesitation (repeated theme).
But I would always wait for you.
Commitment to waiting despite the changes (repeated theme).
The final demand
Expressing a final requirement or expectation.
The colour your smile
Referencing the emotional impact of a smile.
All hidden from view
Hidden aspects or emotions not easily visible.
That burn me
Experiencing sensations that affect deeply.
Freeze me
Feeling restricted or trapped.
Deceive me
Experiencing deception or betrayal.
And you.
Direct reference to someone causing emotional turmoil.
