Chapter One
Lifehouse爀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the stars are out tonight it feels as though I might
Make some sense out of this madness will it turn out right
Who's to say where the wind will blow

Time will tell us if we're out of answers when it stops
Climb back down to the beginning
Take it from the top
Who's to say where the wind will blow

What happens when all your dreams are lying on the ground
Do you pick up the pieces all around
And if the world should fall apart hold on to what you know
Take your chances turn around and go

All the leaves are turning and the sky fades to gray
Strange our life coincides with the seasons of today
Who's to say where the wind will blow

What happens when everything is lying on the ground
Do you pick up the pieces all around

And if the world should fall apart hold on to what you know
Take your chances turn around and go

Carry on you say
Bring the best of today
All I see is struggling on the way

Maybe when the sun crashes through the gray
I can find the strength to make it through the day
Through the day

What happens when all your dreams are lying on the ground
Do you pick up the pieces all around

And if the world should fall apart hold on to what you know




Take your chances turn around and go
Take your chances turn around and go

Overall Meaning

The song "Chapter One" by Lifehouse is about the uncertainty of life and the ups and downs that come with it. The lyrics discuss how it can be difficult to make sense of the madness in the world and to know if things will turn out right. The line "Who's to say where the wind will blow" emphasizes the lack of control we have over our lives and the world around us.


The chorus speaks to the theme of persevering through difficult times. It starts with the question "What happens when all your dreams are lying on the ground?" which implies a sense of hopelessness. However, the answer is to pick up the pieces around you and hold on to what you know. The idea of taking chances and turning around and going forward is repeated throughout the song.


The second verse uses imagery of the changing seasons to convey the idea that life is unpredictable and constantly changing. Despite this, the message of holding on and carrying on remains constant throughout the song.
