I enjoyed reading everyone's comments on this song- it's one of my favorites. I see someone attempting to reconnect with the past (a relationship or a memory of a place); but the past exist in our hearts, our imaginations. Things have changed. That "fallen tree" was never there before. He once "knew the pathway like the back of his hand." Now, he feels like stranger being looked upon as unwelcome. |

Quite possibly a song about patience. The key phrase for me, “What you don’t have you don’t need it now”. When things seem hopeless, empty, we sometimes have to wait patiently for that right moment to take us out of our despair. If we attempt to get rid of the despair with distractions and false hope, we could miss out on the real beauty in life. That’s where the all the great imagery at the end of the song comes from (the world in green and blue, canyons broken by clouds....) |

So much to write about this song. Basically, it’s a song about the “ ticking traps” that so many people fall into. A nightmare world where a person's main desire is a never ending escape from the suburbs. The suburbs can take many forms: from the boring, quiet life of suburbia to the pleasure seeking thrill ride of the big city. Ultimately, the suburbs offer nothing meaningful, and there is no escape within or between them. However, in the first verse an outlet is available: “the far unlit unknown.” This unknown exist within each person-the unique thoughts and feelings that make an individual; tragically, few venture very far into this territory. |

I’ve always loved the last line in the chorus “until it ends there is no end” This song has stayed with me over time. A beautiful song-both lyrically and musically. |
