The Paper Kites - On The Train Ride Home / Slow Living Indie

Superb track most suitable for train rides or night drives.
The times when we allow our minds to wander and contemplate what we want, or where we are in life.
I think this song was written from the lens of the homeless, the tired, the lost, the widows, the orphans, those who failed.
There is no positive note, just a very present moment of melancholy.

"This song may be about the chapter of our lives where we cannot find our true direction, where most of us are not able to handle the pressure to ourselves as we go to face the reality and so we try to go back to our home where we were once settled and happy. The train is a metaphor for our means to go back and within it we try to ask for help.

“Still I was praying on the train ride home If I can’t get the things I want Just give me what I need”

We now have learned that it is not what we want that matters right now for our need is the true priority. It is the reality of adulthood."

LYRICS

[Verse]
Waiting down at the station
I don’t remember
I think it was late then
Standing, always so quiet
We’re like elevators
Filled up with strangers
[Chorus]
No sound, no Hallelujahs
Still I was praying on the train ride home
If I can't get the things I want
If I can't get the things I want
Just give me what I need

[Verse]

Our words fill up the pages
Fill up the days with
Songs for the ages
Still those vows that we all speak
We break them like concrete
And just make our words cheap

[Chorus]

I want someone to grow with
Songs I can sing to
And a family to cling to
But if I can't get the things I want
If I can't get the things I want
Just give me what I need
Just give me what I need
