Lyrics
The Idea Of 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.
the idea of north was frozen like some glacial ice, so large and imposing - but quickly thawed by words of secrecy and thoughts of northern lights and polar ice
and things i can't quite understand. not some cardinal point on a map, but a feeling that takes
me where i meekly stand - an idea so exciting
that suddenly i'm not content with running wild and playing games with friends in streets of this old college town.
i wish i had a magic compass. to tell me that
adulthoods corrupt and there's more to this world
than that which meets the eye. it could tell
you the truth but to read it, you'd have to leard for yourself the meaning. to meter means to measure, and measures are what i'm so afraid to take.
they say the powers of this world are very strong.
that men and women are moved by tides much fiercer than you can imagine. that they sweep us up in their currents, icy waves - the most terrible of lies. could we be much bigger than this with no forces to force us to decide?
