Southbound
The Lemonade Heist Lyrics

It's all that we found on the ground
Of the southbound train
We ran around the town to find the sound
But we lost count again
We need lots of time.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Southbound" by The Lemonade Heist are open to interpretation, but one possible meaning is that the song is about the pursuit of happiness and the fleeting nature of joy. The first line "It's all that we found on the ground" suggests that the "it" could be a metaphor for something that has been lost, left behind or discarded, but also something that can be found or discovered. This could refer to the search for happiness or meaning in life. The second line "Of the southbound train" could suggest that the search for happiness is a journey that is constantly moving forward, like a train heading south. The third line "We ran around the town to find the sound" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the search for joy, which requires effort and exploration. The fourth line "But we lost count again" suggests that the search for joy is elusive and can be difficult to capture and hold onto. Finally, the last line "We need lots of time" indicates the need for patience and perseverance in pursuing happiness.


Overall, "Southbound" is a contemplative song that encourages listeners to reflect on their own pursuit of happiness in life. It highlights the importance of being open to new experiences and embracing the journey, even if that means losing count along the way.
