Wander
Harbor & Home Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know they're shining somewhere out there
cnd I can't tell you what the sun feels like
cnd I don't know if I even care
How long, must I wander this barren land
How long, must I wander this barren land
cnd to protect you from all harm
When things are just like they're supposed to be
Oh, when you were in my arms
How long, must I wander this barren land
How long, must I wander this barren land
I don't know how much longer I can stand
Just how long, must I wander this barren land
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
There's not a moment that I know, my dear
When I don't think of you, my love
Maybe someday this will all be clear
I'll keep asking God above
How long, must I wander this barren land
How long, must I wander this barren land
I don't know how much longer I can stand
Just how long, must I wander this barren land
Just how long, must I wander this barren land
The lyrics of Harbor & Home's song "Wander" convey a deep sense of longing and uncertainty. The opening lines suggest that the singer feels disconnected from the world around them. They express a loss of connection to the stars and question whether they even care about the sun anymore. This establishes a theme of disorientation and a search for meaning or purpose.
The repetition of the question, "How long, must I wander this barren land," serves as a central refrain throughout the song. It reflects a feeling of being lost and trapped in a desolate and unfulfilling existence. The singer longs for a sense of intimacy and protection, yearning to hold someone close and shield them from harm. This desire for connection reflects a longing for a time when things were as they were meant to be, when the person they yearn for was still in their arms.

I don't know if I can see the stars anymore
I'm uncertain if I can find any brightness or hope in my life anymore
I know they're shining somewhere out there
I believe that there is still light and beauty in the world, even if I can't see it
And I can't tell you what the sun feels like
I've forgotten or lost touch with the warmth and joy that comes from being in a good place
And I don't know if I even care
I'm unsure if I still have the desire or motivation to find happiness
How long, must I wander this barren land
For how much more time do I have to continue feeling lost and empty in this desolate existence
Oh, I long to hold you close to me
My heart aches for the comfort and security of having you near
And to protect you from all harm
I want to shield you from any pain or danger that may come your way
When things are just like they're supposed to be
In those moments when everything feels right and falls into place
Oh, when you were in my arms
When I had you close to me, safe and cherished
I don't know how much longer I can stand
I'm uncertain of my endurance and strength to continue in this difficult situation
Just how long, must I wander this barren land
For what duration must I continue feeling lost and without purpose in this desolate existence
There's not a moment that I know, my dear
There isn't a single moment where you aren't on my mind, my love
When I don't think of you, my love
You constantly occupy my thoughts and emotions, my love
Maybe someday this will all be clear
Perhaps in the future, everything will become understandable and make sense
I'll keep asking God above
I'll continue praying and seeking guidance from a higher power
Just how long, must I wander this barren land
For what duration must I continue feeling lost and without purpose in this desolate existence
