Regenerate
Outlands Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

James
Try to sever everything from the inward compulsion
Living masochistic, every bridge that I'm burning in my mind
Every time on the line of the light
Fighting what I feel but it's out of my sight
Fighting what I feel haunting dreams every, dreams every night

Haunting dreams every night (I've become a machine)
Haunting dreams every night leaving my numb

Jordan
We'll start over again, no it's not too late
Turn back time until we can regenerate

James
Circuits and wires tearing up my head
I'm becoming a machine, feel the artery rend

Feel the artery rend (I've become a machine)
Feel the artery rend, leave me cold

Jordan
We'll start over again, no it's not too late
Turn back time until we can regenerate
(We'll start over again) Regenerate
(We'll start over again) Regenerate

James
Breaking and burning reality bends
Becoming what I hate is all I fear in the end
Broken and bled

Yeah

Circuits and wires
Circuits and wires

Jordan
We'll start over again, no it's not too late
Turn back time until we can regenerate




(We'll start over again) Regenerate
(We'll start over again) Regenerate

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Regenerate" by Outlands primarily explore the theme of internal conflict and the desire to start anew. James, the vocalist, sings about a masochistic tendency to burn bridges and sever ties in his mind, while at the same time fighting against his inner feelings that haunt him every night. He likens himself to a machine, with circuits and wires tearing up his head, and feels his "artery rend." These are all powerful metaphors for the internal struggle to suppress one's emotions and desires, which in turn leads to a feeling of numbness, coldness, and becoming what one hates.


However, the song is not all doom and gloom. Jordan, the other vocalist, offers a glimmer of hope with the lines, "We'll start over again, no it's not too late / Turn back time until we can regenerate." These lyrics offer the promise of a fresh start and the possibility of healing and growth. The repetition of the word "regenerate" reinforces this idea and gives the listener a sense of optimism amidst the dark imagery of the rest of the lyrics.


Overall, the lyrics to "Regenerate" are an intriguing exploration of human emotions and the desire for a fresh start. It's a powerful song that hits the listener on both a visceral and emotional level.
