Turn to Find -- January 25, 2022

"Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world” -- Erich Fromm

This song’s lyrics are a series of dream like representations. Thus, the lyrics are open to interpretation.

Lyrics

At the door, looking back
Well I don’t, know, where I am
Stories told, silent pen
Now is time, to know

[ Chorus ]
Reached by your side, as strangers arrive
Knocked, but no one was home
Felt like a turn, of a key that we burned
Lost in the storm, and the cold

Startled find, light down the road
Well I don’t know where I am
Second flew by, red fast and old
Once was a word, I am told

[ Chorus ]

Lose control, in your eyes
And I know, I am, I can

[ Chorus ]
