The Lakes
McMorrow James Vincent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took the nerve for unseen, feeling it go untrue
For a say what is true of chaos in too
Then in the quiet it calls again
In our world in our time, give it all miles away
Lives alone at the wildest day and then were taken home
Settled words were gone again were called upon
And down to the lake where the last we go
I was not laid those down below
Oh they been wait, the fall and the row with the trap show failing from
Presence from upon
Harrow winds and falls upon the highs and low
For the side, down to the window
For the side, down to the way on
In "The Lakes," McMorrow James Vincent sings about stowing away words for dreams and taking the courage for the unknown, feeling it slipping away from him. He talks about the chaos that comes from saying what is true and how it calls out in the quiet, in our world and our time, but then it all fades away. Settled words are gone again and he is called upon.
The song seems to be about the fleeting nature of life and how we can feel like we are just going through the motions, without truly experiencing what's in front of us. The imagery of the lake symbolizes the depths of the human experience, where our thoughts and feelings reside. The song is a poignant reflection on the journey of life and how we struggle to find meaning and purpose in the midst of it.

Stow it away for words for dream
Put away the words meant for dreaming, store them deep inside
Took the nerve for unseen, feeling it go untrue
Gathered the courage to face what is unseen, only to feel uncertain
For a say what is true of chaos in too
Speak of the truth amidst the chaos surrounding us
Then in the quiet it calls again
In the stillness, a voice beckons
In our world in our time, give it all miles away
In our lifetime, let us give our all and venture far from home
Lives alone at the wildest day and then were taken home
Lived alone, facing life's extremes before passing on
Settled words were gone again were called upon
The calm words disappeared only to be needed once more
And down to the lake where the last we go
Heading to the lake where our final journey ends
I was not laid those down below
I was not buried among those beneath the ground
Oh they been wait, the fall and the row with the trap show failing from
The fall and the trap show were waiting to claim those who failed
Presence from upon
A presence felt from above
Harrow winds and falls upon the highs and low
Unforgiving winds and falls heighten both the good and bad times
For the side, down to the window
Towards the side, by the window
For the side, down to the way on
Towards the side, down the path
