Journey
張韶涵 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till I know where I'm supposed to be
It′s a long long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long long journey
Many days I′ve spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wond′ring what's my purpose
Wond′ring how to make me strong
I know I will falter I know I will cry
I know you'll be standing by my side
It′s a long long journey
And I need to be close to you
Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don't even know why
I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can′t see my soul
Will you break down these walls and pull me through
Cause It's a long long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on cavalry
Beneath those stormy skies
When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
'Cause it′s a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you
Oh, to you
The song "Journey" by Zhang Shaohan is one that is filled with hope and the promise of better things to come. The lyrics speak to a journey that has been long and difficult with the singer not yet knowing where she is meant to be. The repetitive nature of the lyrics helps to convey the long and seemingly never-ending nature of this journey.
The opening lines speak to the length and difficulty of the singer's journey. She is uncertain of where she is meant to be and has been struggling for some time to find her way. She acknowledges that it may be difficult to believe that things will get better.
The second verse speaks to the singer's struggles with purpose and how she hopes to become a stronger person. She acknowledges that there will be times when she will fail and cry, but that she hopes that her loved ones, especially the one she is writing to, will be standing by her and supporting her through it all.
The third verse deals with the sense of isolation that the singer feels at times. She doesn't understand why she does the things she does and feels that no one can relate to her or understand her. She hopes that the one she is writing to will help her break down the walls that she has built up around herself and help her to see the value in herself.
Overall, the song is a reminder that journeys can be long and difficult, but that there is always hope and the promise of finding our way back home.
