seven times, i boarded the train, you were there again in the same row, in the window seat, expressionless as last time thankfully, i don't think you want to be here either nature can’t help you now and saving you’s beneath her “i hope the place you’re going is safe for those like you i hope you haven’t been here for longer than you needed to” and i wish that i could take you off this carriage but i know, oh, i know that you’d be food for the worms if you ever lay down and the shape imprinted on your seat’s not normal that you’ll carry your bags to the edge of the sun i’m barely here myself, but no-one is immortal another train derailed, it happens sometimes, cyclical, in flux it's not much, but you alive is worth at least a day off you're freezing cold, you're like a ghost, the air is warm around us somehow you're not shivering, you're resilient enough, so where do you go at night? how do you face the time? are you the one i’m looking for? just to say that you’re here isn’t nearly okay can you please tell me where you need to be? sending light to your path from an internet café you might know where you’re going if you’re with me if you could look at me, i'd help you the best way i could think of help you turn into a real living person i'd stop the train, get ordained as your saint make you some tea and give you a name take your hand and walk off the station platform how long until you’re happy with your life? (until you’re happy with your life?) how long until i can accept you never were? (until i can accept you never were?) how long? how long? attention, all passengers. this is a train to empyrean terminal 1. unfortunately, the last station no longer exists. estimated time to arrival is unknown. thank you for using esl rail, and have a pleasant day. i can’t see anything i’m scared of everything i want to run, but i can’t and i don’t sunlight can't shine in my tomb and i can't see the moon, please, i just want to find my way home i can’t see anything i’m scared of everything i want to run, but i can’t and i don’t sunlight can't shine in my tomb and i can't see the moon, please, i just want to find my way home i can’t see anything (and the world goes on without me) i’m scared of everything i want to run, but i can’t and i don’t (and i can't just walk to the edge of the sun) sunlight can't shine in my tomb and i (and the storm goes on around me) can't see the moon, please, i just want to find my way home (and i have to carry my bags and confront) i can’t see anything (and the world goes on without me) i’m scared of everything i want to run, but i can’t and i don’t (and i can't just walk to the edge of the sun) sunlight can't shine in my tomb and i (and the storm goes on around me) can't see the moon, please, i just want to find my way home (and i have to carry my bags and confront) i can’t see anything (and the world goes on without me) i’m scared of everything i want to run, but i can’t and i don’t (and i can't just walk to the edge of the sun) sunlight can't shine in my tomb and i (and the storm goes on around me) can't see the moon, please, i just want to find my way home (and i have to carry my bags and confront) i can’t see anything (and the world goes on without me) i’m scared of everything i want to run, but i can’t and i don’t (and i can't just walk to the edge of the sun) sunlight can't shine in my tomb and i (and the storm goes on around me) can't see the moon, please, i just want to find my way home (and i have to carry my bags and confront) how long can i stay here without anyone to guide me? how long until i can put my death behind me? how long? how long? (thank you for using esl rail. shortly, this train will terminate at the next station. please be sure to retrieve all belongings and exit the train on the right hand side. once again, thank you for using esl rail, and have a pleasant day.)

about

a song about a girl on a train.

I wrote this song almost a year ago, back in january. the song stayed as a demo for a very long time, until early october when I got a friend over to finally record it with me. I love this song so much, and I hope you like it too.

it really is about a girl on a train, but subconsciously it may have a different allegorical meaning. you can decide that for yourself.
