Repossessed
Business of Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Would I ever be free?"
From these human remains that wander
In this purgatory of ordinary
Repossessed
Every morning I woke up still dreaming
From this mindless army that's warring
In a limbo land of the ones who can't
Repossessed
My time was bought and then used for nothing
"Would I ever be free?"
From the never-ending line where I
Poured my soul and I watched it go
The lyrics of "Repossessed" by Business of Dreams explore the feelings of being trapped in an ordinary and monotonous existence. The song starts with the singer expressing their past state of being low and questioning whether they would ever find freedom from the mundane. They describe themselves and others as "human remains that wander," suggesting a sense of emptiness and aimlessness.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals their longing for freedom from a mindless and warring crowd. They describe this state as a limbo land, where they are surrounded by individuals who are unable to break free from the constraints of their own lives. The repetition of the phrase "Repossessed" in the chorus reinforces the idea of being trapped and controlled by external forces.
The last verse of the song delves into the singer's frustration with their own wasted time. They express a desire to be liberated from a never-ending line, where they have poured their soul into something only to see it disappear or go unappreciated. This could be interpreted as a comment on the futility of dedicating oneself to a system or routine that offers little personal fulfillment or reward.
