Deas Vail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Highway travel underground to find your soul.
And you give a lot.
But they don't see you for the life you give alone. So go alone.
Are you searching cold? You're willing to be more than bold for open doors.
But do they pour this on? Well they are fooling no one, now is your chance to let this go. So let this go.
But no one said anything to me.
So I never knew.
That you were lost, wondering this world without a chance of getting through.
Is this just a game we play together.
Do you think we'll ever know.
If the pro's and con's allow for us losing hope.
You move in slow and steady motion but you're evading none the less.
You know their lives are defined by portions of progress.
And I fell asleep.
But I could dream that I was anything.
And we brought ourselves to this place and turned and walked away to find a life that's so much more.
You can say anything to me (repeated)
Won't you open up your eyes.
Through your window you'll see.
The sun is shining bright and I promise there's a world out there
The lyrics to Deas Vail's song Follow Sound convey a message of self-discovery and finding one's place in the world. The first verse describes a journey taken underground to find one's soul, but the singer gives a lot and is not recognized for the life they give. Despite this, they are encouraged to go alone and continue their search. The second verse asks if the search is worth it, if the open doors are real or just an illusion. The singer falls asleep and wakes up to find that they were not aware of someone who was lost and wandering without hope. The bridge describes life as a game, with pros and cons that allow for the possibility of losing hope. However, moving slowly and steadily, one can define their life and progress in portions. The chorus ends on a hopeful note, encouraging the listener to open their eyes and see the bright world that is waiting for them beyond their window.
