Reborn
Buchanan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be reborn.
Rejecting every change in your turning life,
Means that hard times are still in store.
That's not a star,
It's a satellite.
Makes a damned worth of difference it will be alright.
Baby you don't have to die,
To be reborn.
You live in the book,
Or live in the bottle.
Your left hand is blind,
And your right is on the throttle.
There's nothing you can take on the day you die,
That you didn't have the day you were born.
That's not a star,
It's a satellite.
And if this lazy generation,
Makes a damned worth of difference it will be alright.
You can change if you want to.
The song "Reborn" by Buchanan is about self-improvement and personal growth. The first two lines of the song, "Baby you don't have to die, to be reborn," indicate that change is possible without hitting rock bottom. It is a call for the listener to embrace change rather than resist it. The next two lines, "Rejecting every change in your turning life, means that hard times are still in store," suggest that resisting change only leads to more difficult times in the future.
The bridge of the song references a generation that is lazy and apathetic, but suggests that if enough people make a difference, things can be alright. The lines "That's not a star, it's a satellite" can be interpreted as a metaphor for recognizing what is truly valuable in life. What may appear as a shining star (material possessions or superficial achievements) is actually just a man-made object (a satellite) and not worth striving for.
The final verses of the song refer to the idea that we have the power to make choices that impact our lives. The lines "You live in the book, or live in the bottle. Your left hand is blind, and your right is on the throttle" suggest that we have the power to choose between meaningful experiences or numbing ourselves with alcohol or other vices. The final line, "you can change if you want to," is a reaffirmation of the message of the song - that change is possible if we are willing to make the effort.
