Wanderlust
Plaid Brixx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where I'm goin'
My feet make those decisions for me
Take my time, and wander around
I don't have time to settle down
Roll into town
For just a day
I like it here but I can't stay
From place to place
'Till I find myself a pretty face
Do what I please
Like the wind blows through the trees
All that I need is a road below my feet
Now and then I get to thinkin'
The boat we're on is already sinkin'
If I stay here, I'll surely drown
It's clear this thing is goin' down
I'll go overboard
And swim to shore
To this island that I can't ignore
The tide is strong and it pulls me in
Before this starts all over again
Do what I please
Like the wind blows through the trees
All that I need is a road below my feet
Hey! Hey!
If I could you know I would stay
Hey! Hey!
But it's not my go either way
Hey! Hey!
If I could you know I would stay
Hey! Hey!
Adios babe
High and low
Searched far and wide
So many creatures of divine
I'd love to stay
But I know I must
Surrender to this wanderlust
Do what I please
Like the wind blows through the trees
All that I need is a road below my feet
Do what I please
Like the wind blows through the trees
All that I need is a road below my feet
The song "Wanderlust" by Plaid Brixx is a reflective ode to the restless spirit of the wandering nomad or traveler. The lyrics describe the singer's constant need to be on the move, seeking out new experiences, and exploring the unknown. This person's feet are the driving force behind their journey, leading them from one place to another without a real sense of purpose or direction. They take pleasure in living in the moment, never settling down, and avoiding the monotony of a mundane, routine-based life.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing for something more, a desire to find a sense of purpose or home, but the singer is unable to commit to one place, person, or thing. The repeated refrain of "do what I please, like the wind blows through the trees, all that I need is a road below my feet" emphasizes their carefree, unburdened lifestyle while also hinting at a lack of deeper connection or meaning in their life.
The song's final verses suggest that the singer has come to a crossroads, realizing that their transient lifestyle may come at a cost. They recognize that staying in one place could offer them a sense of stability and security, but ultimately cannot resist the call of the open road. The song ends on a bittersweet note, with a sense of acceptance that their wanderlust is simply a part of who they are.
