Sign of No Return
Borealis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The forest and trees will save us
The rain will erase our steps
I take you away
We end this illusion
Join the circle of truth the final solution
Shadows to the moon
Sign of no return the sickness I endured
Leave all you know run far away from freedom
The end you will see abandoning your fate
These lyrics from Borealis's song "Sign of No Return" contain imagery of escape and the desire for freedom. The first line, "I'll light the path," suggests a leader taking charge and guiding someone away from their current situation. The next line, "The forest and trees will save us," invokes the idea of nature being a place of safety and refuge from whatever is causing the need to escape. The rain erasing their steps suggests that they are leaving everything behind and not looking back.
The chorus seems to be about leaving behind a false reality and joining a community that values truth. "Join the circle of truth the final solution" suggests a group working together to achieve a solution to their problems. The line "shadows to the moon" is a bit more abstract, but could suggest leaving behind darkness and moving towards something brighter, like the moonlight.
The final stanza contains the title phrase "Sign of no return," which suggests that the escape is permanent and there is no going back to the way things were. The "sickness I endured" could refer to whatever is being escaped from, whether it be a physical or emotional illness. "Leave all you know run far away from freedom" seems paradoxical, but could suggest that the person is leaving behind what they thought was freedom in order to find true freedom. The last line "abandoning your fate" suggests that the person is leaving behind the predetermined path their life was on and forging a new one.
