Travelogue
Null Device Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will already be walking in Berlin
When the wind blows sand through streets in Rio
I will already be driving in London
I'll travel 'round the world
In the hope that I will find you
One day you'll turn around
Past people and the places
Through cities and the streets
A million different places
Just so we could meet
By the time the stars shall rise in Shanghai
I will already be moving through New York
When the rain runs down the alleys in Paris
I will be riding the train to Tokyo
To travel 'round the globe
On the chance that I will find you
Someday you'll look around
And see me there beside you
Past the figures and the places
Through temples and the fairs
A million different hours
I will find you there
By the time the sun casts shade in Hong Kong
I will already be flying to Sydney
When snow starts to fall on the crowds in Seoul
I will already be waiting in Prague
I'll travel 'round the world
In the hope that I will find you
One day you'll turn around
And I'll be there behind you
From villages to hamlets
Over dirt and the concrete
A million different moments
All so we could meet

By the time the moon has set on Cairo
Before Cairo's moon vanishes into the horizon
I will already be walking in Berlin
I'll be strolling through the streets of Berlin
When the wind blows sand through streets in Rio
As sand blows through the roads of Rio
I will already be driving in London
I'll be cruising through the roads of London
I'll travel 'round the world
I'll circumnavigate the globe
In the hope that I will find you
With the desire to see you
One day you'll turn around
Eventually, you'll look back
And find me there behind you
And you'll discover me standing behind you
Past people and the places
Amidst the individuals and the locations
Through cities and the streets
Across the towns and the roads
A million different places
Countless destinations
Just so we could meet
All to encounter each other
By the time the stars shall rise in Shanghai
Before the first gleam of stars in Shanghai
I will already be moving through New York
I'll already be transiting across New York
When the rain runs down the alleys in Paris
As the rain flows through Parisian alleys
I will be riding the train to Tokyo
I'll be aboard a train heading to Tokyo
To travel 'round the globe
To explore the world
On the chance that I will find you
Hopeful to discover you
Someday you'll look around
Eventually, you'll glance around
And see me there beside you
And see me standing next to you
Past the figures and the places
Beyond the characters and places
Through temples and the fairs
Across holy temples and lively fairs
A million different hours
Countless hours
I will find you there
I'll discover you amidst them all
By the time the sun casts shade in Hong Kong
Before the sun's rays become distorted in Hong Kong
I will already be flying to Sydney
I'll be airborne, heading towards Sydney
When snow starts to fall on the crowds in Seoul
As snowflakes gently descend upon the masses in Seoul
I will already be waiting in Prague
I'll be eagerly expecting in Prague
From villages to hamlets
Across small towns and villages
Over dirt and the concrete
Across both muddy paths and paved roads
A million different moments
Countless moments
All so we could meet
All leading towards our meeting
