Losing Touching Searching
The Appleseed Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
theres no chance
we'll get there in time
we couldnt find a place that night.
we were lost, and stuck together
we were lost with ourselves
and we were lost with each other
where's this place we need to be?
where's this place we need to see?
there's no sign.
theres no chance,
we'll get there in time.
if we could've found another place,
to see ourselves and crack the code,
we could've made them know,
there's no signs on that road.
caught in the space below.
with no signs of where to go.
your heart is just another road-
another place that i cant go..
so we sit and contemplate
"the world's become a big mistake."
but here we are in the middle,
trying to work out this riddle..
The Appleseed Cast's song "Losing Touching Searching" is a reflection on the human experience of feeling lost in life. The opening verses set the tone of the song with the lyrics, "there's no sign, there's no chance, we'll get there in time." They suggest a sense of hopelessness and a lack of direction. The lines "we were lost, and stuck together, we were lost with ourselves, and we were lost with each other" further illustrate the shared struggle of feeling lost between people. The chorus repeats the idea of there being no signs, no chances and no time, further emphasizing the futility and confusion of the situation.
The second verse of the song questions where this elusive "place" is that we need to be in and see. It seems that the place is a metaphor for a sense of purpose or direction that we all long for in life. The lyrics suggest that we are searching for something, but we don't know what it is or where to look for it. The phrase "caught in the space below, with no signs of where to go" paints a picture of being trapped, with no escape or solution in sight. The line "your heart is just another road, another place that I can't go" suggests that we all carry our own struggles and challenges, and that ultimately, we are alone in our search for meaning.
The final verse of the song is perhaps the most poignant. The lyrics "so we sit and contemplate, 'the world's become a big mistake.' but here we are in the middle, trying to work out this riddle" speaks to the universal human experience of grappling with difficult, existential questions. The metaphor of a riddle suggests that life is a puzzle to be solved, but one that is incredibly complex and difficult to understand. Ultimately, the song's message is one of shared humanity and the acknowledgement that we are all lost and searching for meaning at times.
