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
weather forever
desperate clouds
bellowing out
seeing the future,
cautiously answer,
it's only the plains,
sideways rain
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
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
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
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
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.
this is my interpretation. any help is much appreciated for the missing pieces.
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 like all of your changes except "hiding in a stranger's body", i still think it's "hiding in a/the strangest pathway".
