Plains Lyrics

into the desert,
weather forever
desperate clouds
bellowing out
seeing the future,
cautiously answer,
it's only the plains,
sideways rain

the days whispered and shouted,
and everything counted
the signs were around,
we looked so we found
and seeking a pattern,
none of it mattered
watching the sky
cycling by
through the windows of a passed life

they are seeing the same things,
but they are not laughing
the smoke from the engine,
the bones of a plane
i noticed this vaguely,
but it couldn't contain me
so i've been tamed,
so it remains,
and i am ashamed
hiding in a stranger's hallway

try to remember,
pen to the paper,
portion it out,
what's it about
the pictures are empty,
the voices have left me,
there's only the plains,
only sideways rain,
and i am ashamed,
i am ashamed
and every day is just the same

the song sounds like the singer is looking back on an old relationship as if it was a past life

The days whispered and shouted, And everything counted The signs were around, We looked so we found And seeking a pattern, None of it mattered

they saw all the warning signs that their relationship was going to implode but it didnt matter because it was unavoidable

try to remember pen to the paper pushing it out what's it about the pictures are empty voices have left me ... and i am ashamed and every day is just the same

The writer is trying to come to terms with this by putting it into a song, but feels disconnected and ashamed, living a monotonous life.

very similar to yours... think just a few little things:

into the desert weather forever desperate clouds billowing out seeing the future cautiously answer it's only the plains sideways rain

the days whispered and shouted and everything counted the signs were around we looked so we found in seeking a pattern none of it mattered watching the sky cycling by through the windows of a past life

we are seeing the same thing but they are not laughing the smoke from the engine the bones of a plane and i notice this vaguely but it couldn't contain me and so i've been tamed and so it remains and i am ashamed and hiding in a stranger's body

try to remember pen to the paper pushing it out what's it about the pictures are empty voices have left me it's only the plains sideways rain and i am ashamed and i am ashamed and every day is just the same

thank you!

i updated above.

i like all of your changes except "hiding in a stranger's body", i still think it's "hiding in a/the strangest pathway".
