Bayou 

A shot to the veins 
Taste the rush 
I was lost on an escape to love 
Untraceable 

It's not the same 
Not enough 
You and me was like a vivid dream 
Why'd you wake me up? 
Why'd you wake me up? 

You were my coming down 
And my solid ground 
Paramount 
You were my coming down 
And my solid ground 
Paramount 
Paramount 

Distant screams 
The biggest lie 
What are we if never intertwined 
Forever undefined 

Take my hand 
Now or not at all 
Sow a seed, grow a plant 
Watch it spire tall 
Ever higher 
My love 

You were my coming down 
And my solid ground 
Paramount 
You were my coming down 
And my solid ground 
Paramount 
Paramount 
Paramount 
Paramount 

Nights are longer now 
And I am, I am stronger 
Without you 
Without you 
I have come around 
Life is ocean, we were just travellers in the bayou 
In the bayou 
That we outgrew 

In the bayou 
In the bayou

This is Mountains of the Moons version from the song Bayou. It tells about breaking up with someone and how to accept it. I think this song is wanted to tell as a surviving story: how to deal with breakup and which different stages and emotions that process can include.  

I have chosen this song because the lyrics are so interesting. First, after hearing this song few times I have learned to like the way it sounds. There is a lot of instrumental music in this song but for me it seems that the words have more value due to little amount of them. 

Also, there are words I haven’t known before and as usual they get my attention instantly. I want to figure them out to understand what the song has to say and in this situation end up realizing they are not ment to be interpreted straightly but as a methapor: “Life is ocean – we were just travellers in the bayou.”
