Was introduced to the song "Tired Climb", by a band called Kylesa, a short while ago and two words were brought to my attention from the lyrics... "tranquil anxiety". Curious of course, I went agoogling to find the rest.
Keyed up, all tore up
Free from thought, walking backwards
Tranquil anxiety
Refraining from walking backwards
Reverse and rewind
Contemplate moving forward
Regrets indicate, moving forth is walking backwards
We tread a long time
On occasion, on the line
Swaying, weighing
Straying from this tired climb
Pretty astute observation to tie in those words to where I am and have been. Anyways, last night I went to take a boo at a few more of the band's songs, and a few caught my attention, in particular the one called "To Walk Alone", for its building percussive element, as well as its lyrics.
I think I always knew that I was meant to walk the path of life alone, akin to the lone wolf, and I liked it that way. No one to answer to, no one to disturb, no one to disturb me.

Relaxing in one's mania. Rather an internal yinyang leading to conflict/surrender.
Minor point: if the song is named "To Walk Alone," then why is the word "We" in the lyric?
Dave:
Exactly.
The lyrics I posted were for "Tired Climb", which has a "we" in it. "To Walk Alone" as far as I know does not have a "we" mentioned. I just double-checked and added a link to those lyrics in the post. That being said however, "To Walk Alone" does not preclude that there could not have been a "we" at some point prior.
Eh, I'm still not having king crab and bacon for supper. Oh well.
