Warning Sign
London Airspace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time is giving me a warning sign
For now, sparked by just a memory a memory
And I, I am walking on a real thin line
Above, above everything I thought was mine, thought was mine

Now I can see, oh I can see
Where I need, I need to be
And so

This is as far as I will go
Your life has changed and now I know

I start retracing every step I've made
Everything I could have saved
It calls my name it calls my name tonight

The city lights seem to burn out bright
Into the dark hoping for that one small spark

Now I can see, oh I can see

Where I need, I need to be
And so this is as far as I will go
Your life has changed and now I know

That I can never change the way we've made things
This is as far as I will go, your life has changed and now I know

If ever I need a place to be I'll just
Shout out your name and let you see
That even though this is the way we go

Now I can see, oh I can see
Where I need, I need to be
And so this is as far as I will go
Your life has changed and now I know





That I can never change the way we've made things
This is as far as I will go, your life has changed and now I know

Overall Meaning

In "Warning Sign," London Airspace explores themes of regret, reflection, and acceptance. The first verse suggests that the singer, who is given a warning sign by time, is on a dangerous path after being sparked by a memory, likely a painful one. The following lines describe feeling like he's hanging in the balance between what was his and the changes that have occurred in his life. The chorus reveals that the singer has gained clarity and understands what he needs to do, which is to stop trying to change what he can't change and let go of the past. He has retraced his steps and is ready to acknowledge that his life can only move forward to a new place.


The second verse suggests that the singer is looking back on everything he could have done differently that would have changed the outcomes. He hears a voice, perhaps an inner voice of regret or his conscience, calling his name, but there is no changing what has happened. Looking to the future, he sees a glimmer of hope in the city lights, but it is not enough. The singer is acknowledging that he cannot change the choices he made that led him to this current place in life. The final verse suggests that the singer has found a sense of peace and resolution. He will always remember this time in his past but he knows he must move forward, and he will call out to a person he still misses when he needs a place to go.
