The Walk
Gazpacho Lyrics

Here’s the map of the land
I have the knowledge and understanding of this place and I am ready to share it

Pour it through your old hand
Let me share my wisdom with you, like pouring sand through your hand

Give me more sand, more sand
I want to share even more knowledge with you, and give you as much information as possible

Help is here within the snake
There is guidance and protection to be found in the natural world, just like the protection of a snake

Home is here while you’re awake
You are safe and secure as long as you remain conscious and aware of your surroundings

The end is near it’s dancing in the sand and then you try to be mosaic
As life comes full circle and comes to a close, there is an opportunity to create something beautiful and intricate out of the pieces left behind

Help is near, we made a plan
We have strategized and prepared for any obstacles or difficulties that may arise, making help readily available

Move your feet through no man’s land
Keep moving forward, even when the journey is difficult and you are in uncharted territory

If I know there’ll be no back home to be had
If I am aware that there may be no return to a place of safety or familiarity

In the bitterness of truth
Despite how harsh the truth may be

Where the curve of the horizon
At the point where the sky meets the earth

Feels like walking through a masterpiece
The beauty of the natural world is like walking through an art exhibit

Of evening blue in unread books
Like the imagery found in classic literature that has yet to be discovered or read

And I fall but I can stand up
Despite setbacks and adversity, I am able to pick myself up and keep going

Which right do I have to believe you
What evidence or proof do I have to trust and follow what you are saying?

Leave the wreck in the sun
Let go of the past and move on

It’s on your head
It is your responsibility to move forward and create your own destiny

Into beyond
Moving forward into what is unknown and uncharted

And the bird is so golden
Nature provides us with beauty and wonder, like the sight of a golden bird

The sky is bright and burning
The power and beauty of the natural world is captivating and overwhelming

And I fall but I still manage
Despite challenges and setbacks, I am able to keep going and move forward

Which right do I have to deceive you
Am I really in the position to mislead or lie to you?

Close your eyes it’s all around you
Allow yourself to fully and completely experience the world around you with all your senses

The heat’s a blanket of decay
The intensity and heat of the natural world can also be a source of decay and destruction

Spirits dancing all around you
There is a sense of life and energy within all living things, just like spirits dancing in the wind

Dusty coral hazy grey
The beauty of the natural world is not always bright and colorful, but can be dusty and hazy as well

I’m the one to survive this
Despite challenges and adversity, I am able to overcome and survive

Soul is curled up tide
The soul is like the tide, constantly ebbing and flowing, but still strong and steady

The long haul back
The journey back may be long and challenging

In no direction
Without a clear sense of where to go or what to do

And no one knows we’re ok
Despite the challenges and adversity we face, we are still able to persevere and be alright

Survival on adrenaline it’s over soon
There may be moments of intense survival and adrenaline, but that phase will eventually come to an end

Doesn’t everyone have their own walk to walk
Everyone has their own unique journey to follow and experiences to navigate

I took a turn in my way
I made a decision to go down a different path than what was expected

And I shook the tide
I challenged the natural ebb and flow of things and created my own path

The plane is but a spec
Looking down from above, objects like planes appear incredibly small and insignificant

And Prevot has a gun
Despite the beauty and wonder of the natural world, there is still the reality of danger and the need for protection

One bullet two men
A single moment can have a devastating and life-changing impact

Curve of the horizon is feminine so then
The natural world is not only beautiful, but also has a sense of femininity and grace

So we do not see anymore
There are moments of overwhelming beauty and awe that leave us speechless and in awe

The horizon...
The point where the sky meets the earth, a symbol of the connection between humanity and the natural world

Feels like a magic carpet
The power and beauty of the natural world can feel like soaring on a magical, fantastical ride

Come fly a dying man
Even in the face of mortality, there is still a sense of wonder and amazement to be found in the world

His shoulders are like ice capped
The weight and burden of existence can be as burdensome as the weight of ice on one's shoulders

Mountains in the sand
The natural world can be full of contradictions and surprising juxtapositions, like mountains made of sand

The curve of the horizon is primitive man
The natural world is not only powerful and beautiful, but also deeply rooted in humanity's past and evolution

So we do not speak anymore
The beauty and complexity of the natural world can leave us speechless, unable to fully comprehend or articulate our feelings

Close your eyes now
Allow yourself to fully and completely experience the world around you with all your senses

And you feel the wires are all too tight
Feeling constrained and stuck in a challenging situation, like wires that are too tight

If I know there’ll be no back home
The realization that there may be no way to return to a place of safety or familiarity

Beyond, beyond into unknown
Moving forward into what is unknown and uncharted
