The Train
Casey And The Pressure Group Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken soul and I'm not believin' that
She's gone and I'm the fool again
Up high, take me down
The time goes on and my tears hit the ground
And I look back, I find that she's a friend
I'm runnin' fast, I'm gettin' nowhere
And I still remember the smell of your hair
And you were headed south on a runaway train
My life's in pieces like a broken picture frame
Love to hold you, but you long to be free
You need somebody, and I don't think that it's me
You walked away without sayin' a word
I tried to call you, but I guess you never heard
That was me and I was screamin' your name
But you were headed south on this runaway train
I still recall the day we met
The sky was cloudy how could I forget the way you looked in that blue dress
I sit alone in a room of friends and scattered thoughts dance through my head and I wonder if you'd ever love me at all
By my next picture in my head, and I still remember the last thing you said was
I've gotta go, and please don't follow me
And you were headed south on a runaway train
My life's in pieces like a broken picture frame
Love to hold you, but you long to be free
You need somebody, and I don't think that it's me
You walked away without sayin' a word
I tried to call you, but I guess you never heard
That was me and I was screamin' your name
But you were headed south on this runaway train
Yeah you were headed south on a runaway train
My life's in pieces like a broken picture frame
Love to hold you, but you long to be free
You need somebody, and I don't think that it's me
You walked away without sayin' a word
I tried to call you, but I guess you never heard
That was me and I was screamin' your name
But you were headed south on this runaway train

The lyrics to Casey And The Pressure Group's song "The Train" exude a feeling of sadness, loneliness and heartbreak. The singer describes their despair of feeling empty and broken without their loved one, who has left them once again. Despite their longing for this person, they acknowledge that their partner needs someone else, and it isn't them. The chorus hammers home the idea that their love interest is headed south on a runaway train, leaving them behind with nothing but memories of what they once had.
The song takes the form of a powerful ballad, the slow tempo and emotive vocals perfectly encapsulating the sorrowful themes of loss and heartache. The lyrics are incredibly relatable, as most people will experience heartbreak and loss at some point in their lives.
The symbolism of 'The Train' is powerful. It represents the track of life that we all find ourselves on, with different people jumping on and off along the way. Sometimes, people who we believe will be with us forever jump off the train, leaving us behind to continue our journey without them. The song is about accepting this and letting go, even if we don't want to. Ultimately, we can't control other people's decisions or the path that they take.

Got this empty feelin'
I feel hollow and incomplete
Broken soul and I'm not believin' that
I'm emotionally shattered and unable to accept the reality
She's gone and I'm the fool again
I've lost her and feel foolish for letting it happen again
Up high, take me down
I'm feeling high in my emotions, but reality is bringing me down
The time goes on and my tears hit the ground
I'm still crying and grieving while the world moves on
And I look back, I find that she's a friend
In retrospect, I see her only as a friend
I'm runnin' fast, I'm gettin' nowhere
I'm trying to escape this pain but it's getting me nowhere
And I still remember the smell of your hair
I can vividly remember the scent of you
And the way you looked whenever I would hitch a ride
I remember your look when you drove away
And you were headed south on a runaway train
You were going on a path of self-destruction
My life's in pieces like a broken picture frame
My life is shattered and completely broken
Love to hold you, but you long to be free
I want to hold you but you want your freedom
You need somebody, and I don't think that it's me
You need someone, but I'm not that person
You walked away without sayin' a word
You left me without any explanation
I tried to call you, but I guess you never heard
I tried to reach out to you, but didn't get a response
That was me and I was screamin' your name
I was crying out for you
But you were headed south on this runaway train
You were going down a destructive path
Yeah you were headed south on a runaway train
You were going on a path of self-destruction
My life's in pieces like a broken picture frame
My life is shattered and completely broken
Love to hold you, but you long to be free
I want to hold you but you want your freedom
You need somebody, and I don't think that it's me
You need someone, but I'm not that person
You walked away without sayin' a word
You left me without any explanation
I tried to call you, but I guess you never heard
I tried to reach out to you, but didn't get a response
That was me and I was screamin' your name
I was crying out for you
But you were headed south on this runaway train
You were going down a destructive path
Runaway
A cry for help, a plea to stop this destructive path
Runaway
A cry for help, a plea to stop this destructive path
Runaway
A cry for help, a plea to stop this destructive path

Since the organ is my favorite instrument, I am loving every minute of this! :)

This music unfolds like a picture book full of stars, where birds come chirping, spinning farandoles, cracking rattles and dancing wizards. From rounds to nursery rhymes, the arrangements display their mystery and instruments have the roundness, brilliance of chimes

15 seconds in and I know I'm already in for a groovy time!

Very cool album, has a booker t and the mgs vibe going, simply sublime
FK
lol why because the first song reminds you of green onions?
mischiefmikeyo
@FK I don't hear green onions at all but it does remind me of their 1971 album melting pot, give it a listen maybe
FK
@mischiefmikeyo have you been eating too many green onions???
