Sometimes running away from the storm leads you right into its center. And sometimes that's exactly where you need to be.
I've been going through a very difficult time in my life and spent several months trying desperately to outrun or outsmart my pain. But that only made it worse. I gradually realized that I had to listen to my pain and understand what it was trying to teach me.
Lyrics
Cruising an abandoned runway
a dusty prop from those old B-flicks
your old man used to peer into
for a glimpse of something true
An apparition in the rear-view
Eyes worn from not one night too many
throwing back the bottom shelf
and counting every loss
Wind whips a treasured hat
'til it finds a new home somewhere over Kansas
You think to sail for sunny skies
But you just let it rain
Lyrically, I wanted to experiment with impressionistic storytelling. Trying to simultaneously convey the perspective of a noir protagonist and communicate my own struggles and the lessons I've learned from them in the process.
