“Star Route Nine” is the second song in the isolation trilogy. It was the last song written for Opera Alley and just sort of came out one day. “Star Route Nine” was directly inspired by a friend who seemed to be becoming increasingly isolated. Thankfully, ten years on, that person is thriving now. Ten years on, I wonder if “Star Route Nine” is about me.

Star Route Nine

She lives on star route nine
She says she's doing alright
She just rocks back and forth
All the time.
(Says she's doing fine).

I'd see her way back when
Running with her circle of friends
I thought she'd be someone
In the end.
(Someone to befriend)

I could try
I should fly... Free...
I could run
I should run...Free...Free...

It doesn't take any time
For a couple of years to go by
Years go by fast on
Star Route Nine
(When you're killing the time)

It's time to move on again
It's time to make some new friends
I feel like I'm running in
Circles again
(Again and again)

I will run
I will run...Free...
I will try
I will fly...Free...Free...

(interlude)

She lives on star route nine
She says she's doing alright
She just rocks back and forth
All the time.
She just rocks back and forth
All the time.
She just rocks back and forth
All the time.
