The Current
Andy Cizek Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swiftly, it starts
Impulses driving me so far astray
I feel a part
Of myself expire, wither away

Carry the spark
Or smother it, and lose your grip
Left with a mark, a dream of a star
This isn't my reality
This is my holding out for something greater
I never knew vitality
A soul that wanders, lost within a song

Take me
To a better place, where I'll embrace
The soul inside of me
Calm, at peace
Far beyond this mess my mind can rest
The current carries me along

A force that pushes me on
A voice that calls from afar
Still searching for my family
Nostalgic spirits coming back to life
Demons of old, abandon me
No longer letting fear block me from the light

Song, take me
To a better place, where I'll embrace
The soul inside of me
Calm, at peace
Far beyond this mess my mind can rest
The current carries me along

A storm that I cannot ignore
Ravages me beyond the shore
Some force I've never felt before
Beckoning me to venture forth
Current, carry me on
Voices call from afar
Now the line has been drawn, reluctance is gone
Carry me on

Song, take me
To a better place, where I'll embrace
A soul that sets me free
Calm, at peace




Far beyond this mess my mind can rest
The current carries me along

Sumerian doesn't want people this talented and independent. They want "yes" men.

@Sholps

@@Zachary_Sweis If this is the case, I'm very glad he wasn't chosen then. Seeing as Andy has a million and one projects going on and is now the vocalist for Monuments!
