The Reason
Lion & Bear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Clear out my eyes
Spit out my lungs
Scream it out up and down
Seasons go and come

Run for my life and don't turn around
Sometimes you've gotta get lost
If you wanna be found

Take some time
Clear my mind
Find another reason why

Airplanes will fly
Flowers will bloom
Humans gonna feel alone
When we go in the wrong room

Go fall apart
Rip out my heart
Let the pieces crumble into nothing
Until it's just true

Take some time
Clear my mind
Find another reason why
Take some time
Clear my mind
Find another reason why

Clear out my eyes
Spit out my lungs
Scream it out up and down
Seasons go and come

Run for my life and don't turn around
Sometimes you've gotta get lost
If you wanna be found

Take some time
Clear my mind
Find another reason why
Take some time
Clear my mind
Find another reason why

Take some time
Clear my mind
Find another reason why
Take some time




Clear my mind
Find another reason

Overall Meaning

"The Reason" by Lion & Bear seems to explore themes of self-reflection, personal growth, and finding purpose in life. The opening lines, "Clear out my eyes, Spit out my lungs, Scream it out up and down, Seasons go and come," suggest a desire to cleanse oneself and let go of emotional baggage in order to move forward. It may also imply a need to express oneself honestly and without reservation.


The following lines, "Run for my life and don't turn around, Sometimes you've gotta get lost, If you wanna be found," express the idea of taking risks and embracing uncertainty in order to discover one's true path. It suggests that sometimes, in order to find ourselves, we need to venture into the unknown and separate ourselves from the familiar.


The chorus emphasizes the importance of taking time to clear one's mind and find another reason why. This can be interpreted as a call for self-reflection and searching for deeper meaning in life. The reference to airplanes flying, flowers blooming, and humans feeling alone in the wrong room may symbolize the inevitability of change, growth, and the occasional sense of isolation that comes with it.


Overall, "The Reason" encourages listeners to embrace introspection, risk-taking, and the pursuit of purpose in order to find fulfillment in life.

They say it's hopeless out there, like we've got no reason to sing
And, "It's going down, going down fast," they say
I lift my eyes up to the hills, the place my help comes from
And I know everything, everything is gonna be okay
I know You are my reason to sing
When everything around me is falling to pieces
I know You are my reason to sing
When nothing around me can hold me together
You are my reason (You are my reason, You are my reason)
I've tasted and I have seen, Your goodness always follows me
Such a love I can't quite understand
I lift my eyes up to the hills, the place my help comes from
And I know everything, everything is gonna be okay
I know You are my reason to sing
When everything around me is falling to pieces
I know You are my reason to sing
When nothing around me can hold me together
You are my reason (You are my reason)
You are, You are, my reason to sing (You are my reason)
(You are my reason, You are my reason)
They say it's hopeless out there, like we've got no reason to sing
But I know everything, everything is gonna be okay
I know You are my reason to sing
When nothing around me can hold me together
I know You are my reason to sing
When everything around me is falling to pieces
I know You are my reason to sing
When nothing around me can hold me together
You are my reason, You are (You are my reason, You are my reason)
Yes, You are my reason, You are, You are (You are my reason, You are my reason)
Yes, You are my reason
You are, You are
You are, You are
Yes, You are my reason
