Stream of Consciousness
Acoustic Junction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
none moments spending time making sure
things are fine sometimes they're not and if
you haven't got it you never will it's hard to
understand I'm learning still life's so complex
we forget to feel but whose to say and what's to
feel a truthful eye knows what is real and we
may stop...
We may stop to dream
believe in things we've never seen
scattering dreams
spinning in circles that never stop never end they
just roll along in a stream of consciousness
Can't forget those who have watched me walk
through unknown fear living inside us all there
is a dream to leave now and find a home with
no boundaries and no mistakes remaining
consistent surrounded by change we move
forward one by one to keep pace.

I was just hiking in a forest with a friend when she said that somebody started to build a house nearby. We went to explore. The first thing I noticed was a tree growing in the middle of where the floor should have been. It triggered a memory of a song I knew when I was a kid, that I probably learned when I was at a long-ago campfire with somebody playing the guitar. It took me a while, but gradually the words to Uncle Jed's shed came to me. I sang it for my friend, and we both totally enjoyed the moment. So, thank you, for this delightful, quirky song
