The Lost
Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Welcome to the lost and found, where everyone is hiding
Tell me why you’re underground, I swear it’s not surprising
Did you leave a dream behind or make the wrong decision?
Time is just a state of mind; don’t abandon your ambition
Forget the fear that you missed out
And all the years that you list out
You exist right now
So what did you lose?
Tell me what did you lose?
Step inside your favorite place, where no one is above you
Stare your phantom in the face to discover that it loves you
Welcome to the lost and found, where everyone is learning
If you're feeling safe and sound, you better get your fire burning
Forget the fear that you missed out
And all the years that you list out
You exist right now
You got something to be
So what do you see?
Tell me what do you see?
What do you see?
I see a glimmer in the distance
And if I blink I’m gonna miss it
Well, that’s al, that’s alright it’s only the end of the world
I don’t know what’s coming over me
Nothing good as far as I can see
Well, that’s al, that’s alright it’s only the end of the world
Alright it’s only the end of the world
Alright it’s only the end of the world
Welcome to the lost and found, where everyone is learning
If you're feeling safe and sound, you better get your fire burning
Forget the fear that you missed out
And all the years that you list out
You exist right now
You got something to be
So what do you see?
Tell me what do you see?
I see a glimmer in the distance
And if I blink I’m gonna miss it
Well, that’s al, that’s alright it’s only the end of the world
I don’t know what’s coming over me
Nothing good as far as I can see
Well, that’s al, that’s alright it’s only the end of the world
Alright it’s only the end of the world
Alright it’s only the end of the world
Alright it’s only the end of the world
It's just the end of the world
It's just the end of the world
The lyrics of Above & Beyond's song "Lost" convey a message of self-discovery, resilience, and the importance of embracing the present moment. The song welcomes the listener to the "lost and found," a metaphorical place where everyone is hiding, suggesting that we all have aspects of ourselves that we keep hidden or suppressed. The lyrics encourage the listener to reflect on whether they have left behind their dreams or made the wrong decisions, emphasizing that time is subjective and should not deter one from pursuing their ambitions.
The song urges the listener to forget the fear of missing out or dwelling on past years, urging them to instead embrace their current existence. By doing so, they have something to prove and a purpose to fulfill. The lyrics also emphasize the importance of stepping into one's favorite place, where no one is above them, implying the need to prioritize self-empowerment and self-love.
A recurring theme in the song is the idea of a "glimmer in the distance." This suggests that there is hope and potential for something better, but it requires attentiveness and seizing opportunities before they pass by. The lyrics acknowledge that the world may seem daunting or uncertain, but ultimately reassure the listener that it's only the end of the world in a figurative sense, emphasizing that overcoming challenges and finding one's purpose can lead to personal growth and fulfillment.
Overall, "Lost" encourages listeners to let go of past regrets and fears, embrace their present circumstances, and pursue their dreams and ambitions with courage and determination.

I lost all my riches
The diamonds in the mind
It turns out that this was the best thing to ever happen to me
Errors and glitches
What a way to find
That such hurt could bring you greater peace of mind
Bring me peace of mind
Bring me peace of mind
If you’ve ever lost every part of yourself
If you’ve left your heart on a lonely avenue
It will be only a matter of time
Before your life comes through for you
If you’ve ever lost every part of yourself
If you’ve left your heart on a lonely avenue
It will be only a matter of time
Before your life comes through for you
If you’ve ever lost every part of yourself
If you’ve left your heart on a lonely avenue
It will be only a matter of time
Before your life comes through for you
If you’ve ever lost every part of yourself
If you’ve left your heart on a lonely avenue
It will be only a matter of time
Before your life comes through for you

First time I heard this song was at their concert two years ago. I remember looking around me and seeing all the tears in everyone's eyes and as I listened to the lyrics I started to tear up as well. I've never felt such a connection between everyone else and I at the same time. I had to hug the person next to me because it was too real. Still to this day this song has never grown old on me. I will play it every here and there when I'm upset and it definitely helps uplift myself. Life will always come though one way or another. Patience is a virtue; not everything happens instantly, so remember when you feel alone, you arnt the only one because there are millions of others out there that feel the same way.
