The Sooner the Better
Broken Back Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sooner the better
You've never crossed the line
Don't you wanna to see what's behind
But you'd better make up your mind
About the ocean
You've never crossed the line
But you'd better make up your mind
And the sooner the better
And the sooner the better
And the sooner the better
I wanna see the world
Don't wanna do it on my own
So pack your things
We ain't coming home for a little while
And if we leave tonight
Would you have time to say goodbye
Grab all you need
Don't wanna leave nothing behind
You've never crossed the line
Don't you wanna to see what's behind
But you'd better make up your mind
About the ocean
You've never crossed the line
Don't you wanna to see what's behind
But you'd better make up your mind
And the sooner the better
And the sooner the better
And the sooner the better
Let's take a subway to the ocean
With no regrets we'll just keep going
And we can fake wolf cries, say we're sick in bed
We still got dreams inside our heads
We still got dreams inside unread
You've never crossed the line
Don't you wanna to see what's behind
But you'd better make up your mind
About the ocean
You've never crossed the line
Don't you wanna to see what's behind
But you'd better make up your mind
And the sooner the better
And the sooner the better
And the sooner the better
And the sooner the better
Broken Back's song "The Sooner the Better" talks about the desire to explore the world and embrace new experiences while also highlighting the importance of making quick decisions in order to do so. The song begins with the repetitive phrase "the sooner the better" which acts as a reminder to not waste time and take action immediately. The chorus also emphasizes this by stating "You've never crossed the line, don't you want to see what's behind, but you’d better make up your mind, and the sooner the better." It suggests that one needs to make a decision to take a risk and explore the unknown, and by doing so, they might discover new things.
The song goes on to explore the idea of traveling with a partner or a friend, as a way to explore the world together. The lines "I wanna see the world, don't wanna do it on my own, so pack your things, we ain't coming home for a little while" highlight the idea of having someone close to you while adventuring. However, the song also acknowledges that taking the plunge can be scary and that it is difficult to leave everything behind. The lines "And if we leave tonight, would you have time to say goodbye, grab all you need, don't wanna leave nothing behind" suggests that while it is exciting to explore new territories, it can also be a difficult decision to make.
In its entirety, "The Sooner the Better" encourages listeners to be brave and make quick decisions to explore the unknown. It speaks to the desire to see the world and not be constrained by fear, while also emphasizing the importance of having someone close to you while you embark on new adventures.
Line by Line Meaning
And the sooner the better
We need to start this adventure as soon as possible
You've never crossed the line
You've never taken major risks
Don't you wanna to see what's behind
Don't you want to explore new worlds?
But you'd better make up your mind
You need to decide whether or not to take this chance
About the ocean
About the unknown
I wanna see the world
I want to explore and experience different cultures
Don't wanna do it on my own
I don't want to go on this journey alone
So pack your things
Prepare yourself to leave
We ain't coming home for a little while
We will be away for some time
And if we leave tonight
If we take this chance now
Would you have time to say goodbye
Would you be ready to leave without a proper goodbye?
Grab all you need
Take everything important
Don't wanna leave nothing behind
We don't want to regret not taking something important
Let's take a subway to the ocean
Let's take a metaphorical journey from the predictable (subway) to the unknown (ocean)
With no regrets we'll just keep going
We will not think of the consequences, just move forward with the journey
And we can fake wolf cries, say we're sick in bed
We can excuse ourselves from our normal lives with fake reasons
We still got dreams inside our heads
We still have aspirations waiting to be fulfilled
We still got dreams inside unread
We still have dreams that we have not yet begun to explore
