The Current
Andy Cizek Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
The lyrics of Andy Cizek's song The Current describe a journey towards finding one's authentic self. The first verse talks about feeling lost and out of place, with impulses driving the singer far away from where they want to be. The second verse talks about the need to carry a spark and hold onto one's dreams, despite the risk of losing one's grip. The chorus talks about a desire to escape the chaos of the world and find a better place where one can be at peace with themselves. The current becomes a metaphor for the driving force that propels the singer forward, as they search for their true self.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of struggle and conflict, as the singer battles against their inner demons and the chaos of the world around them. However, there is also a sense of hope and determination, as they strive towards their goal. The final lines of the song suggest a sense of resolution and acceptance, as the singer lets go of their reluctance and allows themselves to be carried along by the current towards a better place.
Overall, The Current is a powerful song about the journey towards self-discovery and finding one's place in the world. The lyrics are poignant and evocative, capturing the struggle and triumph of the human spirit.

Swiftly, it starts
Suddenly, something begins happening
Impulses driving me so far astray
Strong desires are leading me down an unexpected path
I feel a part
I am losing a piece of myself
Of myself expire, wither away
That lost piece of me is decaying and fading away
Carry the spark
Nurture the small flame within you
Or smother it, and lose your grip
If you do not care for it, you will lose control
Left with a mark, a dream of a star
You will only be left with a memory of what could have been
This isn't my reality
My present situation is not satisfactory
This is my holding out for something greater
I am waiting for something better
I never knew vitality
I have not experienced true energy and enthusiasm
A soul that wanders, lost within a song
My spirit is adrift and searching for meaning
Take me
Lead me to a better place
To a better place, where I'll embrace
A place where I can accept and connect with myself
The soul inside of me
My true self
Calm, at peace
Tranquil and serene
Far beyond this mess my mind can rest
Far away from my current confusion and stress
The current carries me along
The momentum of life is carrying me forward
A force that pushes me on
An energy that compels me to move forward
A voice that calls from afar
A distant call that beckons me to a higher purpose
Still searching for my family
I am still looking for my place and my people
Nostalgic spirits coming back to life
Memories and emotions from the past are being resurrected
Demons of old, abandon me
I am letting go of my old fears and doubts
No longer letting fear block me from the light
I am finally breaking free from my fears and pursuing my goals
A storm that I cannot ignore
A powerful force that demands my attention
Ravages me beyond the shore
Pushes me beyond my comfort zone and into the unknown
Some force I've never felt before
A new and mysterious energy I have never experienced
Beckoning me to venture forth
Encouraging me to explore and take risks
Now the line has been drawn, reluctance is gone
I have made a decision and will no longer hesitate or doubt myself
A soul that sets me free
A self that liberates me and allows me to be myself
Current, carry me on
Let life's momentum continue to propel me forward
Voices call from afar
I hear a call to adventure from somewhere far away
The current carries me along
The energy of life is guiding and supporting me
