The Traveler
v/a by Dj Ripple Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Fading in the distance
Sits a castle in a hill
Shimmering landscapes
Look more distant every time

Streets are spinning backwards
Forcing me to see
Why the night looks so dazzling
As the maze invites you in

I'm hiding in the shadows
Afraid to lose control
Would you teach me how to travel
With the motion of your soul

I'm drinking poison
from a splintered canteen
Trying to find what hides beneath my bleeding skin
Sublime voices run into the corners of my mind
Tricking my own eye into believing all my lies

Acid tears disappear
But the rain keeps falling down
If I stay here too long
My hands might dissolve

Rolling stones remind me
Of the road that comes ahead
But my heart is still learning
How to command both my eyes

So hold the wheel and take me
To the world where I belong
Where the spirits of men
Are made of crystals and gold

Stray travelers
Lost in silent storms
Sailing alone
As the devil sleeps

Stray travelers
Roaming through the night
Looking for love
Inbetween our dreams

Stray travelers
We are the children with no name
Craving the fire
Stolen from our hearts

Stray travelers
Lost in melancholic nights
Searching for love
Inside psychedelic eyes

Stray travelers
Lost in psychedelic nights




Searching for love
Inside melancholic eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Traveler" by DJ Ripple paint a vivid and introspective picture of a journey through both physical and emotional landscapes. The opening verses describe the fading image of a castle on a hill and shimmering landscapes that seem to recede further into the distance with each passing moment. This imagery sets the tone for a journey that is not just about physical movement but also about reflections on the self and the world around.


The lyrics delve into a sense of disorientation and introspection as the singer navigates through spinning streets and a dazzling night that beckons with a mysterious maze. There is a palpable sense of unease and uncertainty, expressed through the metaphor of hiding in shadows and the fear of losing control. The invitation to "teach me how to travel with the motion of your soul" hints at a desire for guidance and understanding in this confusing journey.


The theme of inner turmoil and self-discovery continues as the singer struggles with consuming poison from a splintered canteen in search of deeper truths hidden beneath the surface. The mention of sublime voices and self-deception reflects a sense of internal conflict and the constant battle between reality and illusion. The imagery of acid tears and hands dissolving adds to the feeling of inner struggle and dissolution in the face of ongoing challenges.


The chorus of "Stray travelers" evokes a sense of shared humanity and collective search for meaning and connection. The lyrics touch on themes of loneliness, longing, and the search for love amidst the vast unknown of the world. The references to being lost in silent storms, roaming through the night, and craving the fire stolen from our hearts capture the universal yearning for belonging and understanding in a world that often feels overwhelming and uncertain. The repeated imagery of psychedelic eyes and melancholic nights adds a dreamlike quality to the narrative, emphasizing the surreal and introspective nature of the journey being undertaken.

Let's get the facts straight!

1. Cops arrested Christina Revels-Glick (34) on Tybee Island beach, Georgia, on July 1, 2021 for indecent exposure.

2. Christian Revels-Glick committed suicide on March 31, 2022. Family members have stressed her death wasn’t related to the incident, but came after a battle with drugs and alcohol.

3. The video of her arrest was released only recently, which means that she was already dead when it went public.

4. However, it is a lack of respect for her dignity, her family, and her two sons to release this video after she had already committed suicide. That was unnecessary. We shouldn't have seen this.

@@donkeykong4712that’s right! Same thing with employers. Honesty and integrity only makes it easier for them to terminate you

I worked in the HIGHLY CORRUPT coal coal industry as a foreman after college. And one of the things I was told was to “learn how to lie”.

I didn’t exactly know what that meant being new. But I eventually began to catch on what they meant by that. They sure as hell don’t tell you what that means. You have to figure it out on your own by nearly getting yourself terminated for, for example, shutting off a conveyor belt because a roller seized up and is beginning to appear orange from the friction of the belt running with a heavy load of coal on top of it

That’s a fire hazard and needs to be changed according to MSHA regulations. But they expect you to keep that belt running despite a hot roller that’s bellowing smoke

Sure… they want to know about it. But they also do not want you calling it out over the radio. They tell you to call using one of the mine phones. By calling out safety concerns, they have to now assume that at least 1 union man heard the radio transmission and are going to have their eyes and ears open to ensure that the roller was changed

Failure to shut down and change in that situation means the union WILL inform their safety committee, who will then inform MSHA for violating everyone’s safety… which can mean criminal charges being filed against the shift foreman all the way to the superintendent

that's interesting because i haven't heard a single conservative define the word. let me fix that for you: woke just means "whatever conservatives are mad at in the moment".

Wow

@democratliberal833

I think that's the point. So that we can remember that there are cameras everywhere so that we don't do stupid stuff.

@wonderwalls3565
