Turbulence
Fifth Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fazed, all lonely and desperate to know you
You, reached out and faced it
The pain, you came undone
Then the soar, the gain, all washed away
Connected through the wide sea
Bridging from you and me
Felt like you were nothing
Inside of all you may bring
Connected in tides of a turbulent, physical strain
Save yourself, from ways that phase you
In time you'll know
In the midst of the world, carry on, to a fuller life ahead
You, reached out and faced it
The pain, you welcomed the devil,
Inside you it meddled
Connected through the wide sea
Bridging from you and me
Inside you thought none of what you'll one day become and you,
Felt like you were nothing
Inside of all you may bring
Connected in tides of a turbulent, physical strain
I want what's best for your soul ahead
And peace to control,
This spiral of a mess
To tell you the secrets of the love that's shed
Your world is mine, your world is mine
The world inside you (can hear you crying)
Grows softly to guide you (can hear you crying)
The world inside you!
Connected through the wide sea
Bridging from you and me
Inside you thought none of what you'll one day become and you,
Felt like you were nothing
Inside of all you may bring
Connected in tides of a turbulent, physical strain
Connected through the wide sea
Bridging from you and me
Inside you thought none of what you'll one day become and you,
Felt like you were nothing
Inside of all you may bring
Connected in tides of a turbulent, physical strain

The lyrics to "Turbulence" by Fifth Dawn express the message of perseverance through difficult times. The singer is addressing someone who has come home drunk and lonely, feeling lost and helpless. They encourage this person to face their pain and not let it define them. The song emphasizes the importance of connection and support during turbulent times, symbolized by the image of being connected through the wide sea.
The message is one of hope, that no matter how difficult things may seem, there is always potential to become something greater. The lyrics suggest that everyone, at some point in their lives, undergoes a physical and emotional strain, but it is ultimately these struggles that shape us into who we are. The final lines "The world inside you (can hear you crying)/Grows softly to guide you (can hear you crying)/The world inside you!" suggest that one's own inner strength can guide them through struggles.
The song's title, "Turbulence," is a metaphor for the difficulties we all face in life. The repeated use of the ocean image is also significant in this context, as the ocean is known for its unpredictability and power. Additionally, the choice to end the song with the repeated phrase "connected in tides of a turbulent, physical strain" emphasizes the idea of connection and unity amidst struggle.
Line by Line Meaning
Here tonight. You'd come home wasted
Tonight you've returned home while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Fazed, all lonely and desperate to know you
You're feeling disoriented, isolated and desperate to reconnect with yourself
You, reached out and faced it
You confronted your problems
The pain, you came undone
You felt overwhelmed by the pain and broke down
Then the soar, the gain, all washed away
The fleeting pleasure of your addiction disappeared along with your pain
Connected through the wide sea
We're all connected through the vastness of the ocean
Bridging from you and me
Our connection serves as a bridge between us
Inside you thought none of what you'll one day become and you,
You didn't take into account what you could achieve in the future, and you
Felt like you were nothing
You felt insignificant
Inside of all you may bring
But inside you lies immense potential
Connected in tides of a turbulent, physical strain
Our connection endures through the rough, unstable times of life
Save yourself, from ways that phase you
Protect yourself from harmful habits or patterns that can affect your well-being
In time you'll know
Eventually you'll understand
In the midst of the world, carry on, to a fuller life ahead
Despite all the challenges and hardships of life, keep going towards a richer and more fulfilling existence
The pain, you welcomed the devil,
You intentionally invited agony into your life
Inside you it meddled
The torment interfered with your inner peace
I want what's best for your soul ahead
I desire the best possible future for your spiritual self
And peace to control,
May you attain tranquility and mastery over your emotions
This spiral of a mess
This vicious cycle of chaos and disorder
To tell you the secrets of the love that's shed
To reveal to you the wisdom and love you've been shown and taught
Your world is mine, your world is mine
I share in your joys and sorrows, we're in this together
The world inside you (can hear you crying)
Your inner self can sense your pain and distress
Grows softly to guide you (can hear you crying)
Your inner world is developing gently to assist you through your difficult times
Connected through the wide sea
Our connection endures through the vastness of the ocean
Bridging from you and me
Our bond serves as a bridge between us
Inside you thought none of what you'll one day become and you,
You didn't anticipate the greatness that lies within you, and you
Felt like you were nothing
You believed you were worthless
Inside of all you may bring
However, you possess immense potential
Connected in tides of a turbulent, physical strain
Our connection endures through the difficult and tumultuous times

this girl has one of the best female voices I've ever heard! Mostly I don't like female voices because they miss exactly the things I see in this girl: amazing energy and a wide range.
