Lyrics
True North
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Unrepentant vagabond
Plot the new coordinates and cast the map aside
Now I gotta ramble on
Navigate the pitfalls and cross the great divide
The mapmaker's legend has direction and the key
He set the declination but what good is it to me?
I can't see the rationality, the world's not my responsibility
And happiness isn't there for me, but maybe I'll inch closer to the source
When I find true north
With or without a friend, keep searching 'til the end
Tempting fate and cheating death
No one ever told me it was gonna be like this
Contemplate the randomness
When the mind is willing it gets downright perilous
Overburdened, underwhelmed, their ethical decrees
That's your moral compass but what good is it to me?
I can't see the rationality, the world's not my responsibility
And happiness isn't there for me, but maybe I'll inch closer to the source
When I find true north
With or without a friend, keep searching 'til the end
When I find true north
