Arrival from Inside Voices by Tig
This song is about searching. When I was growing up, I’d always had this sense that something was missing in me, that I didn’t quite fit. Living in a small country town, I was sure I would find it if I moved to a big city. I had it all mapped out in my head, but what I didn’t plan for was the feeling of unsteadiness that came with leaving everything I knew behind. I had to find new ways to feel grounded while I figured out what to do with all the possibility.

Lyrics
Stand on the platform, wait for my arrival
Surrounded by the things that I hold dear
We haven’t got much time
Everyone else who lives here
Is gathered inside
I’m too comfortable to leave here
So what am I doing at this station?
No room for my life left in this bag
Full of my own frustrations
Stand on the platform, this is my arrival
A hundred faces unfamiliar
No risk of recognition, just as I imagined
But this thing that I’ve been carrying
Feels heavier now
So what am I doing at this station?
No room for my life left in this bag
Full of my own frustrations
Aah aah, aah aah
Aah aaaaaaaah
Step back from the track
Head out into the dark find a car
To take you away from all
The things you left beyond the border
Step back from the track
Head out into the dark find a car
To take you away from all
The things you left beyond the border
All the things you left beyond the border
All the things you left beyond the border
