Signals Songtext
von Troubled Coast

When winter came, I woke to you painted in grey
A common phrase but you had changed
A watercolor cut with age
And when I spoke, I saw contention form
Infest your thoughts, shape from your hopes
A pleasant trite and drove through summer blooms
You led me here two years ago
You left me there, somewhere off College Avenue
Wandering the streets of August 1998
Just set me free, it′s present you or past tense me

Looking for answers, finding patterns, hearing voices, not the beat

Signals drifting, signaled endings
Lost in meanings of circles breaking, circuits ending


When summer came, I barely wrote and couldn't sleep
Something about the hazy cold settles me down
I found you there two days ago
I watched you fall, loose threads in narrowed hands
Hospital beds with altar boys all waiting for
The calmness of their empty rooms and charred up leaves
The oak-wood trees are reaching out
Like our hands in your hair on your throat
Maybe it doesn′t mean a thing, maybe we're better off as lost
And no one watches over us or hears our prayers and lonely thoughts

Signals drifting, signaled endings
Lost in meanings of circles breaking, circuits ending
Signals drifting, signaled endings
Lost in meanings of circles breaking, circuits ending

I tried to find the meaning
Just let me know if you've had enough
Before we fall apart and come undone
But no one had a reason
Just let me know if you′ve had enough
Before we fall apart and come undone
It′s the worst of what I do
Just let me know if you've had enough
Before we fall apart and come undone
Just let me know

Just let me know if you′ve had enough before we fall apart
Before we come undone
