Reactor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To distant shores, carried by the breeze
From the mists, towards the burning sun
I'll chase the dawn, until my time has come
On my way back home
And all the while, I know that I may fall
For though we try, to force eternal day
The tide will turn, and wash us all away
On my way back home
From where we came, the circle leads us on
To fade away, into the endless song
For all the hope, and all the journeys fears
The wheel goes on, and I will spend my years
On my way back home
The lyrics of Reactor's song "Back Home" are deeply introspective and speak about a restless longing to return to a place that's been left behind. The song begins with the words, "I'll build a ship, to sail across the sea," which serve as a metaphor for embarking on a journey through life to find oneself. The singer hopes to discover new horizons, going "to distant shores, carried by the breeze." The journey is not without risk, as the lyric "And all the while, I know that I may fall / Into the void, and it will take us all" suggests. The singer acknowledges the impermanence of life and the inevitability of death, but remains undaunted in his pursuit of meaning and fulfillment.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of cycles, both in nature and in human existence. The line "From where we came, the circle leads us on" implies that life is a continuous loop, and that everything has a beginning, middle, and end. The cyclical nature of existence is further emphasized by the phrase "into the endless song." Despite this, the singer remains determined to continue on his journey, stating, "the wheel goes on, and I will spend my years / On my way back home." It seems that "Back Home" is ultimately a song about perseverance and the desire to keep moving forward, even in the face of adversity.
Line by Line Meaning
I'll build a ship, to sail across the sea
I'll create my own means for journeying through life
To distant shores, carried by the breeze
I will not limit myself to familiar territory
From the mists, towards the burning sun
I'll take risks and pursue the unknown with enthusiasm
I'll chase the dawn, until my time has come
I'll keep adventuring until the end of my life
On my way back home
I'll return to my roots eventually, but I won't hurry there
And all the while, I know that I may fall
I'm aware that failure is a possibility in any endeavor
Into the void, and it will take us all
When we fail or fall, it can be devastating for us and those around us
For though we try, to force eternal day
Despite our best efforts, life will always have its ups and downs
The tide will turn, and wash us all away
Cycles of life and nature are beyond our control
From where we came, the circle leads us on
Life is cyclical, and we can't escape that
To fade away, into the endless song
Our mortality is inevitable, and we'll eventually become a part of the greater cycle
For all the hope, and all the journeys fears
Our lives are filled with hope and anxiety, and the two are intertwined
The wheel goes on, and I will spend my years
Despite everything, life goes on, and we should embrace it
On my way back home
Eventually, we'll return to where it all began
