Lost and Found
A Rocket to the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far out on a dirt road, he couldn't find his way
With tears in his eyes he knew there's no one in sight
And tried to tell himself that it'll be alright
Why's it always darkest right before the dawn?
If liars can be honest, and right can be wrong
When you find a doorway, are you in or are you out?
You need to get lost before you get found
Young girl with a broken heart walking home alone
Teardrops made of Maybelline on a goodbye note
And looking down at the shadows on the ground, she almost didn't see
A blue eyed man with a flower in his hand
Walking right out of her dreams
And she said,
Why's it always darkest right before the dawn?
If liars can be honest and right can be wrong
When you find a doorway, are you in or are you out?
You have to stand up before you fall down
You need to get lost before you get found
We're never gonna know it all
Like houses we will fall
And break in stormy weather
And be put back together better
We're never gonna know the way
Never gonna know which words to say
And don't you worry it'll be okay
Why's it always stormy right before the calm?
Why are we so lonely before it's said and done?
Why's it always darkest right before the dawn?
If liars can be honest, and right can be wrong
And when you find a doorway, are you in or are you out?
You have to stand up before you fall down
You need to get lost before you get found
The lyrics to A Rocket to the Moon's song Lost and Found explores the idea that in order to truly find oneself or a way out of difficult situations, one must first not be afraid to get lost. The song tells the stories of two individuals, an old man and a young girl, who are feeling lost and alone in their respective situations. The chorus asks the significant question of "why's it always darkest right before the dawn?" which is a metaphor for the idea that things may seem their bleakest right before a major change or discovery happens.
The first verse tells the story of an old man who is lost on his way home from work. He can't find his way and is becoming increasingly upset. The second verse tells of a young girl who is heartbroken and walking home alone when she encounters a man who seems to have walked straight out of her dreams. Both characters are lost in their situations, but the song is encouraging them to keep pushing forward and to not give up hope. It suggests that sometimes the biggest discoveries or solutions come to those who take risks and venture into the unknown.
Overall, the song Lost and Found is a poignant reminder that sometimes it's necessary to get lost in order to be found. The lyrics tell stories of struggle and heartbreak, but also of hope and possibility. It is a beautiful message of perseverance and hope that speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost or unsure of their way in life.
