Lonely The Brave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you're torn from the reach of the dark,
one way the day will decide,
the deep of the lean at the ride,
we are the filling of the feast
and the scene was unstoppable,
we're in the belly of the beast
and the scene was unstoppable,
storm through the creep of the path,
and take all the keepers alive,
the deep of the far and the wide
we are the filling of the feast
and the scene was unstoppable
we're in the belly of the beast
and the scene was unstoppable
wait a minute man you've lost your teeth
and the scene was unstoppable
we're in the dying of a dream
and the scene was unstoppable
course it was
course it was
course it was
we are the filling of the feast
and the scene was unstoppable
we're in the belly of the beast
and the scene was unstoppable
wait a minute man you've lost your teeth
and the scene was unstoppable
we're in the dying of a dream
and the scene was unstoppable

The lyrics to Lonely The Brave's song "Radar" appear to be about feeling lost and uncertain in one's life, with the repeated phrase "the scene was unstoppable" conveying a sense of being swept along without control. The first lines encourage the listener to "work out which way you are," suggesting that the singer is searching for a sense of direction or purpose. The mention of being "torn from the reach of the dark" could imply that they have recently emerged from a difficult and confusing period.
The following lines describe a struggle between opposing forces, represented by the imagery of weaving and charging. The repeated refrain "we are the filling of the feast" gives a sense of being at the mercy of something larger or more powerful than oneself. The line "wait a minute man you've lost your teeth" could be interpreted as a moment of realization or awakening, when the singer begins to question their situation and the path they are on. Ultimately, the song seems to convey a sense of resignation or acceptance, as evidenced by the repetition of the line "the scene was unstoppable" and the final repetition of the chorus.
