The Routes We Wander
Falcon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching for a dim and distant shore.
Amidst the sluts, the drifters and the thieves,
He doesn't dream of landing anymore.
Drowning in these tumblers, stumbles through these doors,
Swinging out to cold cement from sticky, hard tile floors.
These are the routes we wander girl, every goddamn day,
So swallow hard and wipe them dreams away.
Come to life again.
The smoke and the cold killed the men and the dogs.
Last glimpse of sun and all winter it's gone.
Chained at the ankles, cuffed at the wrists.
Stuffed into mail sacks and tossed into drifts.
The lunar eye is burning, boring through me digging deep into my chest,
Into my head, into my dreams, into my sleep.
These dreams these days don't give me no peace.
In "The Routes We Wander," Falcon The paints a vivid picture of a ship captain who is tormented by dreams of a distant shore. Despite being surrounded by the unsavory characters that make up his crew, the captain no longer dreams of reaching this land - a metaphorical representation of a goal or purpose he once held dear. The lyrics suggest that the captain is lost in the monotony of his routine, his mind clouded by the physical and psychological toll of his work. The line "these are the routes we wander girl, every goddamn day, so swallow hard and wipe them dreams away" speaks to the idea that the captain has resigned himself to a life of tedium, accepting that his dreams will never be realized.
The second half of the song focuses on the harsh realities of life in a northern winter. The men and dogs are killed by the cold and the smoke, and those who remain are stripped of their freedom and agency, literally bound and tossed into the snow like parcels. The lyric "the lunar eye is burning, boring through me digging deep into my chest, into my head, into my dreams, into my sleep" emphasizes the relentlessness of the winter, which seeps into every crevice of the characters' lives.
Overall, "The Routes We Wander" is a bleak meditation on the human experience, and the ways in which external forces can shape the course of our lives. The song recognizes that sometimes, no matter how much we may yearn for change or something new, we are trapped in routines that we cannot break free from.

Tonight the captains dreams are bad.
The captain's dreams tonight are troublesome and uneasy.
Searching for a dim and distant shore.
The captain is looking for a far away place that's hard to see and find.
Amidst the sluts, the drifters and the thieves,
In the midst of people who are morally corrupt, wandering aimlessly.
He doesn't dream of landing anymore.
The captain doesn't hope to reach his destination anymore.
Drowning in these tumblers, stumbles through these doors,
Feeling overwhelmed by these situations, stumbling through difficult situations.
Swinging out to cold cement from sticky, hard tile floors.
Going from dirty, sticky places to uncomfortably cold places.
These are the routes we wander girl, every goddamn day,
These are the paths we take, which are difficult and challenging, repeatedly.
So swallow hard and wipe them dreams away.
Grit your teeth and forget your hopes and dreams.
Come to life again.
Wake up and start getting active again, revive yourself.
The smoke and the cold killed the men and the dogs.
The harsh weather conditions took the lives of men and animals alike.
Last glimpse of sun and all winter it's gone.
The final appearance of the sun signals the arrival of winter, and it's going to last for a while.
Chained at the ankles, cuffed at the wrists.
Being restrained by any means necessary, both legs and hands are restricted.
Stuffed into mail sacks and tossed into drifts.
Being locked up in a bag and thrown away in deep snow.
The lunar eye is burning, boring through me digging deep into my chest,
The bright moonlight is penetrating deep into the singer's heart and chest, causing pain.
Into my head, into my dreams, into my sleep.
The moonlight is also affecting the singer's mental state, preventing peaceful rest.
These dreams these days don't give me no peace.
Current dreams are causing great unrest and lack of tranquility.
