Pursuit of Happiness
Adventurer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dig down deep into your pockets
Take out everything because I want it
Don't trust strangers in dark lit places
I swear its just a change of pace

On my own, I'm walking alone
Terribly lost, I'm just trying to get home
You lurk in the shadows, we lock eye to eye
You slowly approach me. Should I question why?

You don't deserve this, I'm hurting. I've earned it.
I've witnessed everything. I'm highly concerned that
I'm deeper than I've ever been. One more step, and you'll be dead.
You're turning me into stone. (Turning me into stone)

You're turning me into stone.

You'll justify anything to fulfill your agenda, leaving your conscious behind.

Don't let it go to your head.
Building empires instead of
empathy for smaller things, no need to conquer everything.
Your sanities being mislead
Don't try to change my perception, you're in no position to

I'll take you for a ride in my brand new car.
It was yours before, but now its mine.
Push you down again, cuz I wanted too.

Give me malice, give me your piece of mind
I'm inside talking daggers.
My breathe as sharp as my wit
I'm going after what you cling so tight to your hip

"I'm not alone!" She screamed, reaching to her side
She grabbed a knife and looked me straight into the eye
I'm gonna walk away. And you'll do the same.

Don't let it go to your head.
Building empires instead of




empathy for smaller things, no need to conquer everything.
Your sanities being mislead

Overall Meaning

The Adventurer's Pursuit of Happiness is a song that tackles mental health, manipulation, and power. The first verse talks about how the singer is willing to go to great lengths to achieve what they desire without any concern for others. They urge the listeners to be cautious and not trust strangers, alluding to the idea that greed can alter perception and drive one to do things they wouldn't normally do. The second verse paints a picture of the singer's isolation and vulnerability to a stranger's advances. They are aware of the impending danger but feel powerless in stopping it.


The chorus "You're turning me into stone" is repeated multiple times, symbolizing how the singer feels stuck, unable to move or defend themselves. The third verse talks about how the singer has witnessed everything and is beyond hurting. The lines "You'll justify anything to fulfill your agenda, leaving your conscious behind" and "Your sanities being mislead" depict the manipulative behavior of the antagonist. The bridge talks about how the antagonist is blinded by their desire for power and success, unable to empathize with those around them. Throughout the lyrics, the Adventurer emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself and not letting greed and manipulation change one's perception or values.
