June of 44 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Interstated north and south
I know you won't go far away
Three full rooms full night and day
We can't stay here
It's time to go
Ten half one two two, st marks place
How did we get here?
We must leave
Information and belief
Your time has come
Your day is done
Show me just one thing
Make it real
You can send me anywhere
Sing to me
Your time has come
Your day is done
We can't stay here
We can't stay here
We've been warned into
We've been warned
Nailed to the floor
Into deep
I am uncertain, it's unclear
East side highway brings us here
I am uncertain its unclear
Our time has come, we must leave
One day, one night, turn back, this time
This is the greatest place on earth
Interstated north and south
The lyrics to June of 44's song Of Information & Belief describe a journey to an unknown destination, possibly a road trip. The first verse sets the scene as the "greatest place on earth," with a highway running north and south - the Interstate - keeping them connected to this mystical place. The second verse references a specific location, St. Mark's Place, where they encounter a mix of people, including trust fund kids and beggars. Despite the apparent charm of this place, the song concludes with the realization that it's time to leave.
The lyrics are ambiguous and open to interpretation, but they seem to convey a sense of restlessness and the feeling of being trapped in a certain place or way of life. The repeated refrain of "Your time has come, your day is done" adds to the sense of urgency and the feeling that something needs to change. Ultimately, the song captures the desire to break free from the monotony of everyday life and embark on a new adventure, even if the final destination is unknown.
