The Answer
Cirrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do my eyes deceive me, or is that destiny that I see
It?s been a twisted road to come to this very moment
So many places, so many faces
All coming at me in waves
Get on my existential groove train and we?re all gonna get it together
The answer
(repeat)
How can it be, in my dire time of need
That you could disappear
Without giving me the answer
how can it be, in my dire time of need
That you would disappear
Without giving me the answer
say what you will
But I know my time is coming soon
And I rise as it comes close
What I dread is what I need
Fear grabbing at my feet




running wild, running far
deeper now, I think I understand

One of my all time fav tracks. The synths are prefect. Takes me back nearly twenty years and still sounds as amazing as it did then.

One of the first bands I ever listened to; still amazing over 20 years later.
