Wandering
Paige Aufhammer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many streets I've tread my feet with armor
That I've locked and bound
My burden's heavy in my soul
And wounded in majestic beauty
Heavy on the ground
Where sound becomes an anthem to fear
I've been silenced by imagescent tears
And I've been wandering
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah...
Well, I've walked alone so many days,
So many times I round the corner
And no one's there
Until he stood and blocked my way
Insisting me to come and stay
In his unfamiliar place
Well, there's an awful lot of noise in here
Where sound becomes an anthem to fear
And his voice spoke tender to me there,
And he said,
He said,
He said come and lay your weary soul to rest
from wandering
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah...
Oh, there's an awful lot of noise in here
Where sound becomes an anthem to fear
And his voice spoke tender to me there,
And he said,
He said,
He said come and lay your weary soul to rest
from wandering
Yeah yeah...
From wandering
From wandering
From wandering, yeah
And he said, come and lay your weary soul to rest
From wandering...

I've seen these streets before,
I've tread on familiar streets many times before,
So many streets I've tread my feet with armor
I've walked these streets so many times that I'm guarded and prepared for them
That I've locked and bound
I've become locked into these familiar streets and my ways
My burden's heavy in my soul
I carry a deep weight in my soul
And wounded in majestic beauty
Although I am beautiful my soul is bruised and damaged
Heavy on the ground
The weight of burden is reflected in the way I carry myself
And there's an awful lot of noise out here
The world is loud and overwhelming
Where sound becomes an anthem to fear
The constant noise has become a fearful theme
I've been silenced by imagescent tears
I have been silenced by tears that speak louder than words
And I've been wandering
I've been aimlessly wandering through these familiar streets
Well, I've walked alone so many days,
I've spent numerous days walking alone
So many times I round the corner
I've turned the same corners repetitively
And no one's there
No one is present to accompany me
Until he stood and blocked my way
Until a stranger stopped me in my tracks
Insisting me to come and stay
The stranger urged me to stay with him
In his unfamiliar place
In this new and unfamiliar place
And his voice spoke tender to me there,
The stranger spoke softly and gently to me
And he said,
He said to me,
He said come and lay your weary soul to rest
He suggested that I rest my heavy soul
From wandering
From my aimless wandering
Oh, there's an awful lot of noise in here
The noise in this unfamiliar place is overwhelming
And his voice spoke tender to me there,
The stranger continued to speak tenderly
And he said,
He said to me,
He said come and lay your weary soul to rest
He reiterated his suggestion that I rest my soul
From wandering
From my aimless wandering
From wandering
From my aimless wandering
From wandering, yeah
From my aimless wandering
And he said, come and lay your weary soul to rest
He urged me to rest my soul
From wandering...
From my aimless wandering
