Subway
Weekend Players Lyrics

No walls to keep you in
There are no restrictions to your movements or actions.

No one to answer to
You are not obligated to anyone, and no one has power over you.

Or ask where ya been
Nobody is curious about your whereabouts or demands an explanation from you.

No job to tie you down
You are not bound or constrained by any employment or occupation.

No address so ya can't get lost
You have no permanent dwelling, but this lack of consistency is not problematic.

Or be found (be found or be found)
Even if you wander aimlessly, you are not entirely lost because you are not seeking to be discovered by anyone.

All alone in a crowded street
You are solitary and unattached, even though you are surrounded by other individuals.

At the level of passing feet
The world moves around you, but you remain indifferent and unaffected.

So many feet (so many feet)
There are countless individuals and their subsequent footsteps that maneuver around you.

Watchin' a race run by
You are observing the hectic, tedious commotion of daily life but are not a participant.

Cage bird a need to fly
You feel the urge to escape your current patterns of life and become liberated.

Freedom in the mind's eyes (mind's eyes)
You are desperate for mental independence, and this mindset is liberating.

Lookin' into the pavement crack
You are intently focused on ground-level space.

At the grass burstin' back
In this ground-level world, crop relief thrives and is incredibly poignant.

Under your feet (under your feet)
You are firmly planted in the ground-level scene, but without any tangible, physical manifestation.

Some wave you're here too late
You discover a mild sense of blaming or remarking, suggesting you have missed the boat.

While keepin' a world happy
As you continue in this mode of introspection, society carries on, regardless.

With all hell to pay
Life is busy and problematic, but this does not necessarily detract from your current state of affairs.

But hey (but hey)
Regardless of circumstance, things could always be worse.

It's just another day
Life continues and will proceed, regardless of any individual interference.

In paradise
This world can still be considered a utopia or paradise, depending on personal perspective and individual experiences.

If you find a penny in the street
The discovery of treasure or reward, regardless of its size, is still considered fortuitous and carry significance.

Pick it up may it bring you luck
Taking advantage, capitalizing on any opportunity for financial gain, regardless of size, may prophecy or establish success.

And before you meet (before you meet)
Before any personal encounters, connections, or relationships are established.

May you find yourself freedom
Personal liberation, independence, both mentally and physically, are desirable and ideal outcomes.

In this garden of eden
Despite initial and ongoing challenges, this world can be likened to a utopic garden, with natural beauty and an emphasis on personal experience and action.

And pray (and pray)
Concluding thoughts with a prayer or thoughts addressing religious and deep-rooted beliefs.

Grant you another day
Thanking higher powers, if any exist, for another day's worth of experience and time within this world.

In paradise
Reiterating the fact that this world can still be considered a utopian paradise of experience and individual freedom.
