Lyrics
The train leaves town at half past six
The train departs the town at 6:30 PM.
That's the train I'm gonna take
The speaker expresses the intention to take that particular train.
I know I've said this a thousand times
The speaker acknowledges repeating a sentiment many times.
But tonight I'll be writing new tales
Tonight, the speaker plans to create new experiences or memories.
So farewell my dear, this time it's for real
A final farewell is bid to a loved one; a genuine departure is happening.
I've been waiting far too long
The speaker feels they have waited excessively.
And farewell to the self built hamster wheel
Symbolic goodbye to a routine or cycle the speaker has constructed.
My mind's already travelled on
The speaker's thoughts have already moved ahead.
Same old story, same old dream
A recurring narrative or aspiration is described.
But heavy legs hold me back
Despite wanting change, a sense of inertia is felt.
I'm tired of believing the best's yet to come
Weary of holding onto optimism about the future.
Oh I fear my hopes are covering their tracks
The speaker suspects their hopes are disappearing or being concealed.
So farewell my dear, this time it's for real
A reiterated farewell to a loved one with a sense of finality.
I've been waiting far too long
The speaker emphasizes the prolonged waiting period.
And farewell to the self built hamster wheel
A symbolic farewell to a self-imposed, repetitive existence.
My mind's already travelled on
The speaker's thoughts have moved beyond their current situation.
And I'm counting sleepless hours again
The speaker is grappling with insomnia or restlessness.
I am rolling back and forth
A physical manifestation of the speaker's inner turmoil.
My eyes on the watch for the merest hint
Vigilantly waiting for a subtle sign or signal to move forward.
Telling me to move on
Awaiting confirmation to progress in life.
So farewell my dear, this time it's for real
Another heartfelt farewell, emphasizing the reality of departure.
I've been waiting far too long
The extended duration of the speaker's anticipation is stressed.
And farewell to the self built hamster wheel
A symbolic farewell to a repetitious, self-imposed routine.
My mind's already travelled on
The speaker's thoughts have already moved forward.
My mind's already travelled on
Reiteration that the speaker's mind has progressed beyond the present.
Yeah my mind's already travelled on
Confirmation that the speaker's thoughts are focused on the future.
