Magnetic Road
Aaron Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Magnetic Road
I'm an insect hypnotized by your glowing
I drive fast, speechless denuded
I'm facing this magnetic solitude
Oh, I'm getting bigger, as the sun goes down
My shadow stretches slowly on the ground

Equal the eagle, the river, the child

Soon each of our shadows, will unite as one
In concrete is the world, that I'm running from
The daylight is gone, I'm coming home

Magnetic road
Give me shelter to my dreams
Please give me back my self esteem
Led astray by the moon
I'm riding on the edge of salvation
Oh, the air is thicker, as the sun goes down
I'm watching the shadows growing on the ground

Equal the eagle, the river, the child
Soon each of their souls, will echo in mine
Equal in the silence, revealing that throne

Daylight is gone, I'm going home
I'm going home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aaron's song "Magnetic Road" appear to be about an individual who is deeply attracted to someone, so much so that they feel their existence is incomplete without them. They describe themselves as an insect, hypnotized by the glowing presence of this individual. The singer is driving fast, speechless and feeling exposed, as they face a "magnetic solitude". They feel themselves getting bigger as the sun goes down and their shadow stretches slowly on the ground. The lyrics then switch to a more spiritual tone, where the singer likens themselves to the eagle, the river, and the child, who are all equal in their souls. The imagery of the concrete world is symbolic of their surroundings, which feels limiting, and they describe overcoming that limitation by being "led astray by the moon" and "riding on the edge of salvation". They long for the shelter of their dreams and to regain their self-esteem, as they watch their shadow grow on the ground. The song ends on a more positive note, with the singer feeling that they are equal to the eagle, the river, and the child, and that soon their souls will echo in theirs.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm an insect hypnotized by your glowing
I'm completely mesmerized by you, like a tiny insect drawn to a bright light

I drive fast, speechless denuded
I'm speeding down the road, feeling exposed and vulnerable without any words to express my feelings

I'm facing this magnetic solitude
I'm confronting my own feelings of loneliness and isolation, which seem to be drawing me in like a magnet

Oh, I'm getting bigger, as the sun goes down
As the day comes to an end, I'm feeling more and more important and significant

My shadow stretches slowly on the ground
I can see my own shadow elongating as the sun sets, as if it's a visual representation of my own growth and change

Equal the eagle, the river, the child
All things in nature - powerful eagles, flowing rivers, innocent children - are equal and have a deep connection

Soon each of our shadows, will unite as one
We will all eventually merge and become one, just as our shadows do in the right lighting

In concrete is the world, that I'm running from
The world I'm trying to escape from is hard and unchanging, like concrete

The daylight is gone, I'm coming home
As night falls, I'm heading back to my safe and familiar place - my home

Give me shelter to my dreams
I need some protection and support for my aspirations and hopes

Please give me back my self esteem
I'm feeling beaten down and need a boost in confidence and self-worth

Led astray by the moon
I've been influenced or distracted by something alluring yet ultimately unattainable, like the moon

I'm riding on the edge of salvation
I feel like I'm teetering on the brink of something great and transformative

Oh, the air is thicker, as the sun goes down
As the day turns into night, the atmosphere feels more dense and weighty

I'm watching the shadows growing on the ground
I'm observing the shadows around me getting longer and deeper, signaling the approaching darkness and changes

Soon each of their souls, will echo in mine
I'll feel a strong connection to the souls of others, as if their thoughts and feelings are reverberating within me

Equal in the silence, revealing that throne
In the quiet and stillness, we are all equal and have access to a profound and powerful energy

Daylight is gone, I'm going home
As darkness settles in, I'm making my way back to my comforting and familiar abode

I'm going home
I'm returning to the place where I feel most secure and at ease
