Towers Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Intro]
Four, three, two, one
[Verse 1]
Play me something gently, I'm across the ocean missin' home
There are lights on sparklin' towers that shine dark when seen alone
Somewhere there's a mountain that overlooks the sea
I wonder if that mountain's got more rock than my band and me
And I ain't no victim to a naive boy's dreams
But I wish you were here now to see these damned old sparklin' things
[Chorus]
It's a long road to heaven (Long road)
It's a far drop to hell
I pray we outlive this fountain (Pray we outlive)
I reckon time will tell
The stronger folks keep goin'
No matter where they've been (No matter where they've been)
And there are lights on sparklin' towers
That I'll never see again (I'll never see them again)
[Verse 2]
I am not the person that I was yesterday
And the things I'm seeing now will never be the same
Do you think God's a person or the blinking lights?
That reflect in her eyes while she walks these streets at night
Do you think God’s a person or is He just the sound
Of laughter through the walls in a place I haven't found?
[Chorus]
It's a long road to heaven (Long road)
It's a far drop to hell
I pray we outlive this fountain
I reckon only time can tell
The stronger folks keep goin'
No matter where they've been (No matter where they've been)
There are lights on sparklin' towers
That I'll never see again
[Outro]
Do you think God's a person or is He just the sound
Of early mornin' creakin''on some floors way out of town?
I'm breathin' in a life and my legs are workin' fine
Do you think God's a person or the slowly passin' time?
[Intro]
The countdown in the intro sets the tone for a reflective and introspective journey, preparing the listener for the themes of longing and existential questioning that follow.
[Verse 1]
In this verse, Bryan expresses his homesickness and the emotional distance he feels. The "sparklin' towers" symbolize moments of beauty that appear darker when experienced alone. He contrasts these with a metaphorical mountain, representing strength and permanence. He reflects on the passage of time and the changes in his life, yearning for someone to share these experiences with.
[Chorus]
The chorus captures the duality of life's journey, describing it as a long road to heaven and a far drop to hell. Bryan prays for resilience, hoping to outlast the challenges symbolized by the "fountain." The mention of "stronger folks" highlights the perseverance required to keep going despite past experiences. The "sparklin' towers" he will never see again emphasize the finality and loss inherent in moving forward.
[Verse 2]
Bryan acknowledges his personal growth and the irreversible nature of his experiences. He questions the nature of God, contemplating whether divinity is found in human form or in the small, everyday miracles and connections. The reflection in a woman's eyes and the sound of laughter suggest a search for meaning in simple, human experiences.
[Chorus]
Reiterating the journey's challenges, Bryan again prays for endurance. The repetition of themes from the first chorus reinforces the central message of persistence and the inevitability of leaving parts of life behind.
[Outro]
In the outro, Bryan continues to question the nature of God and existence, pondering whether divinity is found in the mundane aspects of life. He expresses gratitude for the present moment, acknowledging his physical vitality and the slow passage of time, suggesting a peaceful acceptance of life's transient nature.
