Arcturus
Rchetype Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you know it won't be long?
Where have all the people gone?
The sun will light a way
Follow through the sacred ground
To the place that man had found
Don't you know it won't be long?
Where have all the people gone?
The sun will light a way
Follow through the sacred ground
To the place that man had found
Sing a song of hope
The sun will light a way
To the place that man had found
The lyrics of Rchetype's song Arcturus seem to be portraying a hope for humanity. The first two lines state the need to sing a song of hope and claim that it won't be long until a change takes place. However, the songwriter's outlook then shifts to a more melancholic tone with the line "where have all the people gone?". This line suggests a feeling of desolation and a notion that there are not enough people around to make a change.
The theme of hope then returns with the line "the sun will light a way". This could be interpreted as a metaphor for finding a new path or solution to humanity's problems. The next line encourages the listener to follow through the "sacred ground" which could be interpreted as following in the footsteps of the ancient ones to find the answers humanity needs. The final line urging the listener once again to sing a song of hope, with the added hope that humanity will once again find a place to call home.
Overall, the lyrics of Arcturus by Rchetype seem to be both optimistic and pessimistic, with a strong hope for humanity to find its way, but a sense of despair that not enough people are around to make it happen. It seems to be encouraging listeners to not lose hope and to keep searching for answers, perhaps by following in the footsteps of the wise ones who came before us.
