Reasoner
Dogwood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

But there's something else there.
It's in all our hearts... on the tip of our tongues.
And you don't believe. But what if there is?
What if you're wrong? They don't understand.
It's like you got framed. People are dumb.
You take all the blame. You're all that I need.
You're all that I have. You're all that I want.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dogwood's song "Reasoner" showcase the theme of faith and belief. While the singer acknowledges that there is a pervasive sense of something else, something bigger, and more profound that is present in all of us, this feeling is often disregarded or neglected by people who fail to recognize its significance. The following lines emphasize the importance of belief: "But what if there is? What if you're wrong? They don't understand. It's like you got framed. People are dumb." Through this, the songwriter is suggesting that people who deny the presence of any divine power or greater entity in the world might be missing out on something that can bring them peace, hope, and understanding.
