March
Tchaikovsky P.I. Lyrics

There's miles of land in front of us,
We have a long journey ahead of us

And we're dying with every step we take,
The journey is taking a toll on us and we are losing strength

We're dying with every breath we make,
The struggle is exhausting us both physically and emotionally

And all fall in line
Despite the difficulties, we continue to follow the same path

A stranger's back is all I see,
I am so focused on the path ahead that I can only see the person in front of me

He's only a few feet in front of me,
The line is so tightly packed that there is not much space between each person

And all look left and right sometimes,
Occasionally people glance around, but mostly they stay focused on the path ahead

But all fall in line
Despite the occasional glance around, everyone eventually returns to the same path

No one looks up anymore,
People are so focused on the path ahead that they forget to look around

'Cause you might get a raindrop in your eye,
People fear any external distractions that may alter their path

And heaven forbid, they see you cry,
Emotions are suppressed, and crying is seen as a weakness

As we fall in line
Despite the emotional suppression, we continue to follow the same path

And about this time of every year,
At a particular time each year, something changes

The Line will go to the ocean pier,
The path leads to the ocean pier

And walk right off into the sea,
People blindly follow the path and head straight into the ocean

Then we fall asleep
People submit to the supposed inevitability of the path and cease to resist

As we near the end of land,
We are getting closer to the supposed end

And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand,
People blindly believe that the end of the path leads to their graves

I ask myself the question, why
People begin to question the path and its supposedly inevitable end

I fall in line
Despite questioning the path, people still continue to follow it

Then out of the corner of my eye,
Something unexpected catches my attention

I see a spaceship in the sky,
A symbol of something other than the path catches my attention

And hear a voice inside my head
Internal conflict begins to occur

Follow me instead
An internal voice suggests following something other than the path

Then the wages of war will start
Internal conflict intensifies

Inside my head with my counterpart
Internal conflict is happening between different parts of me

And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase
Despite the internal conflict, others are still blindly following the path

This line's the only way
Others believe that the path is the only option

Then I start down the sand
A realization or decision sets me on a new path

My eyes are focused on the end of land
I am still driven to reach a supposed end to the journey

But again the voice inside my head
Internal conflict resurfaces

Says, follow me instead
The internal voice urges me to continue on a new path

Take me up
New direction involves upward movement

Seal the door
Close and seal the door on the old direction

I don't want to march here anymore
A clear decision to leave behind the old path

I realize that this line is dead
A realization that the old path is leading nowhere

So I'll follow you instead
A conviction to follow a new path

So then you put me back in my place
I am still subject to external forces in the world

So I might start another day
Each day is a new opportunity to follow the chosen path

And once again, I will be
A reminder that there is always choice and change in life

In a march to the sea
The unknown lies ahead, but it is not blindly followed
