Perhaps this is a story of a couple living the free life, without “real home”. Slab City is mentioned, which is an unincorporated, off-the-grid squatter community attracting people who want to live outside mainstream society, located in California, USA.
One person in this relationship is describing...
[Verse 1]
You make no sound
As folks gather ‘round
Like shadow hounds
Eyes seem unsound
As folks gather ‘round
And please you aloud
[Chorus 1]
And I now believe that no one asked
About your secret past
The pain to match your strength
And I now believe that no one thought
You had a lonely past
The pain and strengths so vast
[Verse 2]
From mellow seas
To houses on wheels
To slabs in West lands
Hand in hand
From yellow bills
To slabs in West lands
Like bones in your hands
[Bridge]
But I see a tree that's standing high among the shrubs
So only one hand may rest its palm upon my cheeks
[Pre-Chorus]
The only one that I'll need
[Chorus 2]
To know why no one asked
About your secret past
The pain to match your strength
And I now believe that no one thought
You had a lonely past
And pain to match your vein
[Post-Chorus]
When it rains

It’s a concentrated version of the stories of two men I know. They both moved to West lands to become key, strong figures in their small community. People look up to them, but few know about their hardships.
