Journey Song
Eternal Longing: Xavier Rudd's Poetic Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
The stone it sinks
The stone sinking may symbolize a burden or hardship.
The day is near
Anticipation of an upcoming event or change.
And I watch your feet I feel your breathe
Observing someone closely, feeling their presence.
I'm in your dreams
Being part of someone's dreams, perhaps emotionally or spiritually.
Seems such a long long time But I will return
Expressing a prolonged absence but promising a return.
You are the only spark I use
Referring to the person as the source of inspiration.
In these things I do
Using the spark (inspiration) in creative endeavors.
This is the thing I do
Reiteration of engaging in creative pursuits.
All these people
Acknowledging the presence of others in life.
And all these times
Reflecting on various experiences and moments.
And all this road I see for real
Perceiving the journey ahead with its challenges.
In four twenty time
Reference to a specific time (4:20) with potential significance.
There will be fourteen days
Indicating a timeframe associated with an emotional state.
When sadness climbs
Expectation of difficult moments causing sadness.
And there will be times when I feel chilled
Acknowledging the presence of someone in thoughts during tough times.
With you on my mind
Emphasizing the impact of the person on the speaker's mind.
This is the thing I do
Reiteration of engaging in creative pursuits (repeated theme).
You miss me now
Acknowledging the mutual longing in the separation.
Well I miss you too
Expressing reciprocal feelings of missing each other.
You see well chances are given
Highlighting the rarity of opportunities in life.
Only once
Emphasizing the uniqueness and limited nature of chances.
Now there's clouds in my heart
Describing emotional clouds, suggesting inner turmoil.
Clouds in my mind
Reiteration of emotional clouds affecting thoughts.
You see well chances are given
Reemphasizing the rarity of opportunities (repeated theme).
Only once
Stressing that opportunities are given only once.
Not for free
Clarifying that valuable opportunities come at a cost.
