Wandering
Paige Aufhammer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've seen these streets before,
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
And there's an awful lot of noise out here
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...

Line by Line Meaning

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
