Can I quote his "Go, go, go"?
(?)
Demon caught my "Go, go, go"
They losing threads

True mercy
We obey that feeling in the sky

The song "Tree Fort" by Bars of Gold is a complex and introspective piece of music that touches on themes such as self-discovery, determination, and acceptance of our limitations. The lyrics of the song are somewhat abstract and open to interpretation, which is typical of Bars of Gold's style. The opening line, "That coat/Can I quote his 'Go, go, go'?" could be interpreted as the singer seeking validation or inspiration from someone he admires or sees as a role model. The following line, "Demon caught my 'Go, go, go'" suggests that despite his determination to succeed, the singer is facing internal demons that are holding him back.
As the song progresses, the singer struggles with "losing threads," or losing his focus and clarity of purpose. Despite this, he continues to push forward, paying his dues and moving forward by sheer willpower. He acknowledges that he is "going by vision," or following his own sense of purpose, and that he will keep going until he reaches his destination.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the lines "My train, my cradle/Find it/Pull it/Like an/Ocean liner," suggests that the singer is on a journey of self-discovery and that he sees himself as a ship navigating the waters of life. The line "We obey that feeling in the sky" adds to this metaphor, suggesting that the singer feels guided by a higher power. The final lines of the song, "Man/Going by vision," repeat the earlier sentiment and suggest that the singer is determined to stay true to his own path no matter the obstacles he may face.
