grey in imaginary vienna

i'm not so sure about this song anymore. it has a strange effect on me, can't quite figure it out. angry, sad, happy, feeling blessed all at the same time.

ever watched those new york based movies and they show a scene with an overcast day and newspapers flying high in the air? extremely windy, people trying to keep their balance, and then running underground or inside for cover? as i sat in math today i saw newspapers fly around, synchronized. all grey, for the first time. i let my eyes follow through columbus circle focusing on broadway. waited patiently for the elevator to go down. agitated and wanting to get out into the grey. it was hard to walk, especially when you hate walking against or with the wind, it doesn't work either way. this song is playing again, i stare and feel stale. i remember how the start of summer looked like, and how the air smelled. i wait for the signal, so i can walk and get away from all this. then as the light turns green, cars drive by to the words

there's really no way to reach me
there's really no way to reach me
there's really no way to reach me
cause i'm already gone

and just like that, the roads clear up for us to walk. i catch my train and i know i'm already gone away leaving behind, something that can never truly be left behind.
