Regeneration
Ascension Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pasted on these old friend walls
As I begin to make my flight
I turn back my life in time
To place where all the thoughts
Were all brand new
And the colors were so bright
When all worlds were possible
What have I seen?
To speaker I said
Is this the dawning of a nation?
What you have done
Has never been known
No world could ever stand against you
Friend is that all you know?
Is that what this has taught?
Even when you know another way
Is the way of death you take?
If you open up your heart
To the truth of all creation
The truth will teach you life
Regeneration
Regeneration
I will try to be know what I was
In a child's imagination's eye
Transforming mind and spirit
Into harmony
In these unfamiliar places
And for the ones
Trapped in their sleep
There is a chance for their revival
The flower that grows
Over our heads
It holds the key to your redemption
The energy that flows
From beneathe the ground
Restores the life in those
Where life can still be found
Now take what you have learned
Open your heart again
Live life a different way
Hope for another day
I stand with you
On the edge of the unknown
Trying to believe what I can't see
My fight is done, I know what I must do
Break down the walls
That I have built all of my life
The lyrics to Ascension Theory's song Regeneration speak of a journey into the unknown, filled with wonder, hope, and the possibility of redemption. The singer begins by gazing at images of a world they do not know, and is struck by a longing for a time when all thoughts were new and all worlds were possible. They ask their companion, "What have I seen? Is this the dawning of a nation?" and are reassured that they have witnessed something truly unprecedented, something that no world could ever stand against. However, the singer's curiosity is not satisfied, and they continue to ask questions; can one know another way, even when the way of death seems inevitable?
The singer then turns their attention to the idea of regeneration, of starting anew and transforming the mind and spirit into harmony. They hope that even those trapped in their sleep may have a chance at revival, and look to the energy that flows beneath the ground as a source of restoration. The song ends with a call to action: take what you have learned, open your heart again, and break down the walls that have been built up all your life.
Overall, the song Regeneration seems to be about the search for meaning and purpose in a world that can often seem chaotic and uncertain. The singer grapples with questions of life and death, redemption and renewal, and ultimately comes to the conclusion that the only way to move forward is to break down the barriers that have been holding them back.

Images of a world I know not of
I see pictures of a place that I can't recognize
Pasted on these old friend walls
These memories are preserved on the walls of my old friends
As I begin to make my flight
I'm about to start a journey
I turn back my life in time
I reflect on my past
To place where all the thoughts
To a time when my thoughts
Were all brand new
were fresh and new
And the colors were so bright
The colors of life were vivid and vibrant
When all worlds were possible
When anything was possible
What have I seen? To speaker I said
I ask someone what I have witnessed
Is this the dawning of a nation?
Is this the start of a new era?
What you have done Has never been known
You've accomplished something that's never been done before
No world could ever stand against you
You are invincible
Friend is that all you know?
Is that the extent of your knowledge?
Is that what this has taught?
Is that the lesson to be learned?
Even when you know another way
Even when there is a different path available
Is the way of death you take?
Would you still choose the path of destruction?
If you open up your heart
If you open up your mind and soul
To the truth of all creation
To the true nature of the universe
The truth will teach you life
You will discover the essence of life through truth
Regeneration
Rebirth and renewal
I will try to be know what I was
I aim to rediscover my former self
In a child's imagination's eye
Through the eyes of childhood creativity
Transforming mind and spirit
Revamping my mentality and inner self
Into harmony
To achieve balance and peace
In these unfamiliar places
In new and uncharted territories
And for the ones
And for those who are
Trapped in their sleep
Imprisoned within their own minds and thoughts
There is a chance for their revival
There's still a possibility for a comeback
The flower that grows
The beautiful bloom of nature
Over our heads
Above us
It holds the key to your redemption
It unlocks the door to salvation
The energy that flows
The power that pulsates
From beneathe the ground
From the depths of the earth
Restores the life in those
Brings back vitality to those
Where life can still be found
Where survival is still possible
Now take what you have learned
Use what you've earned
Open your heart again
Be open to new experiences
Live life a different way
Change your approach to life
Hope for another day
Believe in a better tomorrow
I stand with you
I'm here to support you
On the edge of the unknown
Facing the unfamiliar
Trying to believe what I can't see
Striving to have faith in the unseen
My fight is done, I know what I must do
After much struggle, I know my purpose
Break down the walls
Tear down the barriers
That I have built all of my life
That I constructed throughout my life
