Wander
D.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been back now for coming on a year
But I wouldn't call it home
I don't know what I'm doing here
I have flashbacks every single day
Of cities underground and neons in the clouds
My vivacity must've stay across the sea
Cuz my suitcases were packed but I didn't bring it back
And I've been
And I've been
And I've been
And I've been told not to wander too far
But I don't listen
No, no, no
I've been told not to break any hearts
We all know how that
Like a phantom living in my head
I hear her speak to me but I'm laying in my bed
Am I capable of even being loyal to love's embrace
A people or a place
A planet or a space
My vivacity must've stay across the sea
Cuz my suitcases were packed but I didn't bring it back
And I've been
And I've been
And I've been
And I've been told not to wander too far
But I don't listen
No, no, no
I've been told not to break any hearts
We all know how that goes
And I've been told not to wander too far
But I don't listen
No, no, no




I've been told not to break any hearts
We all know how that goes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D.A. Wallach's song 'Wander' are full of deep introspection and contemplation about the meaning of home, identity, and love. The singer starts by acknowledging that he's been back home for almost a year, but he doesn't consider it a home. This highlights the difficulty of assimilating back into regular life after being away for an extended period. He mentions that he still feels the pull of the places he's been to, with flashbacks of "cities underground and neons in the clouds." He feels like a part of his essence is still across the sea, as he didn't bring his vivacity back with him, even though he packed everything else in his suitcase.


The chorus reveals that he's been warned not to wander too far or break any hearts. However, he's not listening to these cautionary tales. The singer continues to grapple with his loyalty to love and the idea of home. He describes a phantom that keeps speaking to him, but he's unsure if he's capable of being loyal to love or any particular person, place, or planet. The repetition of the line "And I've been told not to wander too far, But I don't listen" highlights his insistence on wandering and the curiosity that comes with the urge to explore. The song's themes of restlessness, the quest for identity, and the search for a home are universal and relatable.


Line by Line Meaning

I've been back now for coming on a year
It has been almost a year since I have returned to this place


But I wouldn't call it home
However, I don't feel like this place is where I truly belong


I don't know what I'm doing here
I am unsure of my purpose for being here


I have flashbacks every single day
Every day, I am haunted by memories of my past adventures


Of cities underground and neons in the clouds
These flashbacks include images of unique and exciting places I have been to in the past


My vivacity must've stay across the sea
My enthusiasm and energy seems to have remained in a far away place


Cuz my suitcases were packed but I didn't bring it back
I had packed my belongings, but didn't bring my enthusiasm back with me


And I've been told not to wander too far
People have advised me to not venture too far from what is familiar


But I don't listen
However, I am not one to heed advice


I've been told not to break any hearts
I have been warned not to hurt anyone emotionally


We all know how that goes
We are all aware of how difficult and complicated relationships can be


Like a phantom living in my head
My thoughts and memories of the past linger like an apparition


I hear her speak to me but I'm laying in my bed
Sometimes, I hear the voice of someone from my past, but I know it's just my imagination


Am I capable of even being loyal to love's embrace
I question my ability to commit myself fully to someone or something


A people or a place
Whether it's a person or a location


A planet or a space
Or whether it's within this world, or somewhere beyond


And I've been told not to break any hearts
Once again, I have been cautioned to not emotionally hurt others


We all know how that goes
We are all aware of how difficult and complicated relationships can be


And I've been told not to wander too far
Once again, I have been warned to not stray too far from the familiar


But I don't listen
However, I tend to disregard such advice


No, no, no
I won't be deterred
