Beyond the Rubicon
Jack Frost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Came to be
In my sleep
I crossed the darkest river
The darkest sea
To be free
Guide me out of nowhere
Come over me
Kiss the blindside of my soul
And burn for me
In my dream
My golden ages
Are far away
And I sleep
These lyrics from Jack Frost's song "Beyond the Rubicon" describe a journey of self-discovery that takes place in the singer's sleep. The first two lines suggest that the singer has gained a deep understanding of their true self while dreaming. This could mean that they've uncovered a part of themselves that they didn't realize existed or that they've gained a new perspective on their personality, beliefs, or purpose.
The next two lines describe a difficult journey that the singer has taken to achieve freedom. They've crossed both the darkest river and the darkest sea, which symbolize obstacles and challenges that the singer has faced in pursuit of their goals. The phrase "to be free" likely refers to the singer's desire to escape negative emotions or situations that have been holding them back.
The chorus of the song is an appeal for guidance and support from some outside force. The singer is asking to be lifted out of a state of feeling lost or stuck. They want someone to come and "kiss the blindside of [their] soul," which suggests that they need to be awakened to something they can't see on their own. The line "and burn for me" may refer to a sacrificial act or an expression of passion and devotion on the part of the guide.
Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of longing for a deeper understanding of oneself and a desire to overcome whatever obstacles are standing in the way of personal growth.
