You Belong
The Avener Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever half-love you have left
For the olden days
Would you wake up
Or trace the plumb line to your death
To your final scene
What is love then, but to drag a dead dear
Just to drive on, neither to arrive or to escape
Not to save someone
You belong to the cause
Come on, believe!
Pull your heels from the farthest
Corner you've been in
You belong to us
You belong to the cause
You were wrong, I meant no harm
We were young once
We were wilder in our boots
In the race to fame
Now we've dried up
We no longer have our youth to sell
From the penny stage
Were you mine?
You were never the kind to call me yours
Were you born afraid?
So carry on, carry all your desire to a flame
To an unamed voice
You belong to the cause
Come on, believe!
Pull your heels from the farthest
Place they've carried you
You belong to us
You belong to the cause
You were wrong, I meant no harm
Black shadows
Back-battles
You have held in your lungs too long
You were searching
I was purchasing a flight
To an old luck town, town town
You belong to the cause
Come on, believe!
Pull your heels from the farthest
Place they've carried you
You belong to us
You belong to the cause
You were wrong, I meant no harm
The Avener's song "You Belong" presents a message of hope and courage in a world where people often feel lost and disconnected. The lyrics are an exhortation to the listener to break free from the past, from old patterns of behavior and toxic relationships, and to embrace a new sense of belonging to a greater cause. The singer recognizes the pain and confusion that many people experience, but he urges them to take a bold step forward and to trust that there is a purpose and a community that they can be part of.
The first verse speaks of the "pale" of half-love that the listener has left for the olden days. This suggests a sense of nostalgia, of longing for a time gone by that may have been simpler or more innocent. However, the singer emphasizes the need to wake up and to confront the reality of the "plumb line to your death". This could refer to the idea of a predetermined destiny or fate that one must come to terms with, but it can also be interpreted as a symbolic reference to the need to find one's true purpose in life and to follow it to the end.
The second verse is more enigmatic, but it seems to evoke an image of a dead animal being dragged along the road by its horns. This could represent the burden of past mistakes or traumas that people carry with them, which prevent them from moving forward. The singer suggests that true love involves letting go of these dead weight and driving on, not to save oneself, but to join a greater cause. This cause is the one to which the listener belongs, and it is a source of hope and inspiration that can lift them out of their current struggles.
Line by Line Meaning
In the pale of
You are stuck in a place of lackluster feelings
Whatever half-love you have left
You are only holding onto a small amount of love
For the olden days
You long for the past
Would you wake up
Are you open to change?
Or trace the plumb line to your death
Are you following a straight path to your own demise?
To your final scene
To the end of your existence
What is love then, but to drag a dead dear
Love is often about clinging to what is already gone
By its horns, from the passing lane
From the momentum of life passing by
Just to drive on, neither to arrive or to escape
Love can make a person feel aimless, with no escape and no destination
Not to save someone
Not to change or rescue someone
You belong to the cause
You are part of something important
Come on, believe!
Have faith!
Pull your heels from the farthest
Move away from the farthest point you've been
Corner you've been in
The place you've felt trapped
You belong to us
You are part of a community
You were wrong, I meant no harm
I didn't intend to hurt you
We were young once
We had our youthfulness
We were wilder in our boots
We were free and unafraid
In the race to fame
In the pursuit of success
Now we've dried up
We've lost our creative fuel
We no longer have our youth to sell
Our time has passed
From the penny stage
From the lowest level
Were you mine?
Did we belong together?
You were never the kind to call me yours
You were never fully committed to me
Were you born afraid?
Were you always scared?
So carry on, carry all your desire to a flame
Continue forward and turn your inner desire into a spark of passion
To an unnamed voice
To an unknown source of inspiration
Black shadows
Darkness and despair
Back-battles
Past struggles and conflicts
You have held in your lungs too long
You've kept your pain and grief inside for too long
You were searching
You were looking for something
I was purchasing a flight
I was trying to escape
To an old luck town, town town
To a place of opportunity, hoping for good fortune

I love the aveners work , he's not a usual commercial dj as some of his colleague. He has that retro folk touch which makes him special, it's enough to see his collaboration in this case Laura Gibson.
