| Dawes – From A Window Seat Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This is primarily about a songwriter realizing how often he uses his reflection on others (either real people or his characters) to work through his own concerns and worries. However, key lines (such as "if you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there") suggest a second theme of being frustrated between planning out a path and going with the flow of time. The reference to the conversation between the rivers and the freeways is ambiguous: Is he referring to conversations that happen between people traveling between those, or is he anthropomorphizing those? Given the rest of the song, I believe it's the latter: Rivers run along randomly, twisting as the earth will let them, while freeways are planned to take people from one place to another. The conversation between them would be on whether it's better to plan and settle on a specific destination or to let time take you where it will. |
