009 Sound System Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta find the way home
Cuz' since I went solo
I could get so low... oh oh oh
I don't know the way
To find what I'm searchin for
Cuz time goes so slow...
Today awoke
I was alone
In a world
Of broken bones
Though I scanned horizon I saw nothing
Nothing at all
Felt I need you
In my mind
Felt I'm seein u
Though I'm blind
Your heart's still hanging in my life
And it's a mattter of time cuz'
I got a fever
I couldn't check
Like judas needed
To double it
Sure thirty pieces 'betta 'betta than nothin'
Nothin' at all
If I'm seein' u
In my mind
I can see on through
And it's time
To break the chains of lonely life
It's a matter of time cuz
The opening lines of the song, "I don't wanna wait, gotta find the way home, 'cause since I went solo, I could get so low," suggest a feeling of aimlessness and desperation at the same time. It's as if the singer has been wandering around for a while, trying to find the way back to where they belong, but they just can't seem to find it. Going solo has taken a toll on them and has left them feeling lost and helpless. The next lines go on to say, "I don't know the way, to find what I'm searching for, 'cause time goes so slow when you go solo." These lines further add to the sense of despair and frustration that the singer is feeling. They have no idea where they are going or what they are looking for, but all they know is that time seems to be moving too slowly for them.
The second verse talks about waking up alone in a world of broken bones. The metaphor of broken bones suggests a barren and desolate environment where there is no life or growth. The singer then talks about scanning the horizon and seeing nothing at all. This again adds to the feeling of emptiness and despair that they are experiencing. The next lines talk about feeling the need for someone in their life and seeing them in their mind even though they are blind. This suggests that the singer knows what they want, but they just can't seem to find it. The final lines talk about breaking the chains of the lonely life, and it's just a matter of time.
Overall, the song is a melancholic tale of someone who has lost their way and is desperately searching for a way back home. They are lost, alone, and empty, and the only thing that keeps them going is the thought of finding someone to break the chains of their lonely life.

I don't wanna wait
I am eager to start my journey
Gotta find the way home
I need to find a way back to where I belong
Cuz' since I went solo
Since I have been alone and independent
I could get so low... oh oh oh
I can feel really down and lost without someone by my side
I don't know the way
I am lost and directionless
To find what I'm searchin for
To find the answer or solution that I seek
Cuz time goes so slow...
Time feels like it's moving sluggishly
When u go solo...
When you are alone and self-reliant
Today awoke
I woke up this morning
I was alone
I was the only person around
In a world
In a place
Of broken bones
Full of hurt and damage
Though I scanned horizon I saw nothing
Even though I looked around, there was nothing to be found
Nothing at all
Absolutely nothing
Felt I need you
I had a strong desire for you
In my mind
In my thoughts
Felt I'm seein u
I felt like I could see you
Though I'm blind
Even though I can't physically see
Your heart's still hanging in my life
You still have an impact on my life
And it's a mattter of time cuz'
It's only a question of time
I got a fever
I am consumed by a strong feeling
I couldn't check
I can't control it
Like judas needed
Like the biblical figure Judas needed something
To double it
To increase it twofold
Sure thirty pieces 'betta 'betta than nothin'
Something is better than nothing, no matter how small
Nothin' at all
Nothing whatsoever
If I'm seein' u
If I am imagining you
In my mind
In my thoughts
I can see on through
I can see past the surface
And it's time
It is the right moment
To break the chains of lonely life
To free myself from a life of loneliness
It's a matter of time cuz
It's only a question of time

Never thought as a kid and early teenager that life had an actual purpose and Jesus Christ was real. Or that all this would connect. It popped in my mind the other day. Im trying to listen only to Christian music so i checked this guy out again. Wow its as if it was mesnt to happen. Hey bro, Jesus loves you ❤❤! I love you. I want to thank you and God for the lovely memories you've given me. Your music tskes me back many memories. Ago. I love you
@FranCano6
009SS has so talented songs. I cannot understand why many people didn't like it
@ssaa9213
I agree with you.
@Nanaa
+Fran Cano Back in the days where YouTube wasn't that big, every copyrighted video used to get audioswapped with songs randomly chosen from 009SS. So many videos got audioswapped that 009SS was already some sort of a National Anthem for YouTube.
@rdablock
+Nana Are 009 Sound System's songs copyrighted now? Maybe I'll put it in my video if I ever did one lol
@Whatsgoingonmeow
+ArdaBlock No go right ahead. Your still allowed to use all his videos. All he asks is you consider purchasing them from Amazon to help support him. With that said you can also just use it as well thats totally cool.
@FranCano6
+Donk3y Kong I know it. But normally you don´t hate your national anthem, do you? haha. Repetition doesn´t make something good go to awful, in my opinion. In fact, you can fuck every single day without being fed up, right? Quoting Homer Simpson: "... to be hated, you don't have to do squat."
@MrTartaria
Used to cry to this a lot, when I felt alone. Still lonely but in a much better clarity of mind.
