Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The passage that leads me to you
Trying to find
Memories
Made my heart bleed for you
Catacombs of paranoia
Oh, how I adored you
Who you are (Who you are)
Emanating dreams before you
There was nothing I could not do
You made me feel completed
Oh, the journey is so sweet
Destination ecstacy
Won't you come with me?
Yeah
Together we'll grow young
Forever eternally
It's how it's meant to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Wasting no time in this place
We're giving dreams to chase (To chase)
Bringing life into this world
The reason we feed our souls
Catacombs of paranoia
Oh, how I adored you
Now I don't know
Who you are (Who you are)
Emanating dreams before you
There was nothing I could not do
You made me feel completed
Oh, the journey is so sweet
Destination ecstacy
Won't you come with me?
Yeah
Together we'll grow young
Forever eternally
It's how it's meant to be
Yeah
Someday I'm gonna look back and laugh (Oh, oh, oh)
Coming to terms with future and past (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You got this thing right down to an art (Oh, oh, oh)
You give me light to fill this dark heart (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Someday I'm gonna look back and laugh (Oh, oh, oh)
Coming to terms with future and past (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You got this thing right down to an art (Oh, oh, oh)
You give me light to fill this dark heart (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Someday I'm gonna look back and laugh
Coming to terms with future and past
You got this thing right down to an art
You give me light to fill this dark
In "The Journey" by Tasha Baxter, the lyrics describe a search for a lost connection with someone. The singer is trying to find their way back to this person, taking a metaphorical journey through "the passage that leads me to you." The first verse sets the tone with the lines "Memories/Made my heart bleed for you," indicating a strong emotional tie to this person. However, as the song progresses, the singer reveals a sense of confusion and uncertainty about this person they once adored, singing "Now I don't know/Who you are." The second verse repeats the lines "Emanating dreams before you/There was nothing I could not do/You made me feel completed," stressing the idea that this person was once everything to them, but something has changed.
The chorus provides a sense of optimism and hope for a future with this person. It is a place where the singer says they will "grow young Forever eternally." This line seems to reference the idea of getting lost in a moment or experience, speaking to the idea that when we feel most alive and present, there is a sense that time does not apply. This feeling is amplified by the choice of the word "ecstasy" to describe the destination. The last verse provides closure and acceptance, with the repeated line "Someday I'm gonna look back and laugh" and the recognition that the other person has "this thing right down to an art." Although the singer may not completely understand who they are anymore, there is a sense of acceptance and appreciation for the journey they shared.
