Trains
SOAK (Bridie Monds-Watson) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's long overdue
Yeah, we got a whole lot of passion that we've just been holding on to
Ain't scared of the light in the tunnel
There ain't no turning back
Yeah, gonna love you like a freightliner baby that's a rumble'n down your tracks
Ooh, I never wanted me another locomotive
I got left here at the station
So here's that invitation
I'll give you every bit of my heart
And I'll love you like I mean it
Get on board now
Cause baby this train's a leavin'
Somehow, some way
This love has found us for a reason
Get on board now
Cause baby this train is leaving
Ooh, I got your ticket baby, yes I do
I know you ain't lookin for a ride
Till the railway ends
This ain't no express line jumping that'll stop just around the bend
Ooh, gonna tell the conductor
To keep feeding the coals
Oh, we got our own little boxcar baby that'll take us where we want to go
Ooh, I never wanted me another locomotive
I got left here at the station
Yeah, but you made me get another ticket baby
So here's that invitation
I'll give you every bit of my heart
And I'll love you like I mean it
Get on board now
Cause baby this train's a leavin'
Somehow, some way
This love has found us for a reason
Get on board now
Cause baby this train is leaving
Ooh, got our tickets baby
It's time to get on board
I'll give you every bit of my heart
And I'll love you like I mean it
Get on board now
Cause baby this train's a leavin'
Somehow, some way
This love has found us for a reason
Get on board now
Cause baby this train is leaving
Yes, it's leaving
I'll give you every bit of my heart
And I'll love you like I mean it
Get on board now
Cause baby this train's a leavin'
Somehow, some way
This love has found us for a reason
Get on board now
Cause baby this train is leaving
The song "Trains" by SOAK (Bridie Monds-Watson) is a love song that draws on imagery of trains to convey a sense of forward momentum in a relationship that has been held back. The opening lyrics, "I can hear that whistle baby, It's long overdue, Yeah, we got a whole lot of passion that we've just been holding on to," establish the sense of anticipation and pent-up energy that the song embodies. The singer is ready to move forward with their partner and is not afraid of the challenges ahead.
Throughout the song, the train serves as a metaphor for the couple's relationship. The chorus, "Get on board now, 'Cause baby this train's a leavin'," urges the partner to commit fully to the relationship and embrace the journey ahead. The singer is willing to give everything to their partner and love them with all their heart. The repeated lines, "I'll give you every bit of my heart and I'll love you like I mean it," make clear the commitment and passion that the singer is willing to bring to the relationship.
The imagery of the train also suggests that the road ahead may not be easy. There are references to tunnels and bends that the train must navigate, and the metaphorical "feeding the coals" suggests that the relationship will require effort and hard work to keep going. However, the singer is ready to face these challenges and is confident that their love will overcome any obstacles that come their way. Overall, the song is a declaration of love and a call to action for the partner to join in the journey towards a shared future.
