Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gave my all, but you had nothing to lose
Now I coast through black with an empty mind
I don't care about what I left behind
Stars burn out in this Great Vacuum
I drift on some hidden and waveless flume
Is there any purpose in what I do?
Weightless now, without any gravity
But you pull me back because you are the universe inside me
Worlds apart, never thought it was true
You say you're small, but just look at that universe inside you
Stars burn out in this Great Vacuum
I drift on some hidden and waveless flume
Is there any purpose in what I do?
I'll still wonder how I'll come back to you
The Midwest Indies's song Voyager is about the feeling of leaving behind something you gave your all to, but ultimately realizing it wasn't reciprocated. The lyrics paint a scene of floating away and seeing nothing but blue, representing the vast unknown future ahead. The singer muses about the purpose of their journey as they drift through the darkness of space, feeling weightless and without any sense of direction. However, throughout the journey, they are pulled back by the universe and the connection they have to someone they left behind. They question whether there was any purpose in leaving or if they will ever find their way back.
The use of space and the universe in the lyrics creates a metaphor for the journey of self-discovery and the search for purpose. They float through darkness, feeling lost and uncertain, but they are constantly reminded of their connection to someone else and the universe as a whole. The line "you pull me back because you are the universe inside me" implies that the connection to another person is what grounds them and gives them a sense of direction.
Overall, Voyager is a poignant reflection on the journey of self-discovery and the importance of connection and purpose in our lives.
