Return
Null Device Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never knew that times would bend
To the wishes in someone else
To the forces outside myself
I know this empty chair
I see this faded room
But nothing is the same
You ask me to return
Return to these shores
Return to these halls
Through open doors
I want to run
I want to climb
Don't want these forms
That we've designed
Don't want the temple
Oh, don't want its wealth
I want to return
Return to myself
Never trusted anything
Never knew that words could bring
Down the high walls of what you felt
Crush the forces inside myself
I fear this empty room
I know this common place
But I am not the one
I'm vacant inside
You ask me to return
Relive what is lost
Pull up all my roots
From the icy frost
I want to play
In the destroyed
Don't want these roles
That we've employed
Don't want the city
Don't want the town
I want to be reborn
And turn myself around
Never knew that times would bend
Never knew these nights could end
End the sirens of distant bells
Through these forces outside myself
I see the hidden games
I know this fallen space
But nothing is the same
And I feel empty
You ask me to return
Return to before
Return to these halls
Through open doors
The song "Return" by Null Device is a melancholy reflection on the sense of detachment and emptiness that can come from living a life that doesn't feel true to oneself. The lyrics express this feeling through a series of images: an empty chair, a faded room, a common place. The singer feels like the world around them has changed, and they don't recognize it anymore. The forces of society and other people's expectations have pushed them away from their own desires, leaving them feeling hollow and disconnected.
The repeated refrain of "return" expresses a desire to find a way back to a time and place where they felt whole and true to themselves. But even as the singer longs for this return, they resist the idea of going back to the roles and forms that were imposed on them before. They want to run, to climb, to play, to be reborn, to turn themselves around. The song's message is that true happiness and fulfillment come from being true to oneself, even if it means going against the expectations of others.
