Atlantis
The Whispertown 2000 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want love
I want faith
I want faith in everything

I want time to slip away
Let tomorrow be today
I want time

Atlantis, let me in
I will live, free of sin
Here my plea, and bargain
Atlantis, let me in

I wanna be the key to unlock it
I wanna be the key, let me in
I wanna be the key

Atlantis, let me in
I will live, free of sin
Learn to swim, grow a fin

Atlantis, let me in
I want love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Atlantis" by The Whispertown 2000 hint at a longing for something greater than what is available in the present. The song begins with the singer's desire for love and faith, but not just in a specific person or thing – in everything. This suggests a yearning for a higher power or universal truth. The following lines express a desire for time to "slip away" and for tomorrow to be "today," indicating a longing for a perfect, timeless state of existence.

The chorus then introduces the idea of Atlantis, a mythical city that is said to have sunk beneath the ocean. The singer begs to be let into Atlantis, promising to live free of sin and grow a fin to adapt to a new way of life. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for entering a better, more enlightened state of being. The repeated plea to be the "key" to unlock Atlantis suggests a belief that the singer can somehow gain access to this higher state of existence.

Overall, the song seems to express a desire for something beyond the limitations of our current reality. The singer longs for love, faith, and a timeless state of being, and sees Atlantis as a symbol of a better way of life.
