Try
January Jaunt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Caught up with all the barriers of your mind
A chain of unfinished memories
Blocks the sun that lightens up your days
The sketches have been gone for a while
In pieces they vanished in the wind

The ice is going to make rivers
For your boat again!

Don't talk to me bout what I already know
Don't talk to me before the truth will be climbing from your lips
The shadow lands of the lives you've lived
Will need some answers now
Don't talk to me bout what I already know

On the fields of oblivion they might remember you
You can never be lost for a lifetime
Ladders must be there
Stone by stone
Brick by brick
Find the ashes anywhere
You'll need to find that old road
That you walked back then

The ice is going to make rivers
For your boat again!

Don't talk to me bout what I already know
Don't talk to me before the truth will be climbing from your lips
The shadow lands of the lives you've lived
Will need some answers now
Don't talk to me bout what I already know





Don't talk to me...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of January Jaunt's song "Try" convey a message of hope to someone who is struggling with their past and present. The first two lines describe how one's mind can be cluttered with memories and thoughts that inhibit their ability to see the light in life. The imagery of sketches vanishing in the wind suggests that memories can be fleeting and easily lost. However, the song implies that even in the bleakest moments, there is hope for renewal and growth. The repeated lines, "the ice is going to make rivers for your boat again," imply that even when life seems frozen and unyielding, there is potential for progress and forward movement. The song encourages the listener to keep searching, to find the pieces of their life that may be scattered and incomplete, and to use those pieces to create a path forward.


The second verse of the song shifts the focus to those around the listener, and how they might perceive their struggles. The line, "on the fields of oblivion they might remember you," suggests that the listener may feel forgotten or overlooked, but the song asserts that this is not the case. The repeated line, "ladders must be there, stone by stone, brick by brick," emphasizes the importance of taking small steps toward progress and self-discovery. The final lines, "don't talk to me bout what I already know, don't talk to me," suggests that the singer believes that the listener has the tools they need to move forward and should focus on taking action rather than dwelling on what they already know.


Overall, "Try" is an uplifting song that encourages the listener to embrace hope, even in the midst of challenges and struggles.
