Astral Plane
The Word Alive. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I have been here before
I don't understand how I've returned
I have seen where this takes me
I didn't choose this path

Take me home
I've found the road

Take me home
Take me home
I've found my home

Take me to a better place
Where I'm who I was born to be
This wasn't what I envisioned
I'm not who I know I'm Supposed to be

I've searched and searched, I've laid awake at night
I've walked through the darkness
I've ran to the light
I've ran to the light

And there was nothing there but questions I had
With answers I couldn't find
Have I lost my mind?
Is this all there is left to life?
Is this all there is?
Is this it?
Is this all there is left to life?

Take me home

Overall Meaning

The Word Alive's song Astral Plane is about the feeling of being lost, like wandering aimlessly in an unfamiliar place. The opening lines, "And I have been here before, I don't understand how I've returned," evoke a sense of uncertainty and confusion. The singer is grappling with the feeling that their life is not what they had imagined, and they are not who they are meant to be. They feel like they are searching for something that they cannot quite identify. This is reflected in the lines, "Take me to a better place, where I'm who I was born to be, this wasn't what I envisioned, I'm not who I know I'm supposed to be."

The repetition of "take me home" throughout the song conveys the longing for a sense of belonging and familiarity. There is a yearning for a place where they can be themselves and feel like they fit in. The final lines of the song, "Is this all there is left to life? Is this it? Is this all there is left to life? Take me home," encapsulate this feeling of dissatisfaction and the desire for something more.

Overall, Astral Plane is a powerful exploration of the human experience of feeling lost and searching for a sense of identity and belonging.

Line by Line Meaning

And I have been here before
I've experienced this situation previously

I don't understand how I've returned
I'm confused about how I ended up back here

I have seen where this takes me
I know where this path leads

I didn't choose this path
This is not the route I wanted to take

Take me home
Bring me back to where I belong

I've found the road
I've discovered the way to get back home

Take me to a better place
Transports me to an improved state of mind

Where I'm who I was born to be
Where I can fully comprehend and embrace my true self

This wasn't what I envisioned
This isn't what I planned or expected

I'm not who I know I'm supposed to be
I don't feel like I'm fulfilling my potential or purpose

I've searched and searched, I've laid awake at night
I've exhausted myself trying to find answers

I've walked through the darkness
I've gone through tough times and uncertainty

I've ran to the light
I've tried to find hope and positivity

And there was nothing there but questions I had
I found myself with more questions instead of answers

With answers I couldn't find
There were no explanations or solutions

Have I lost my mind?
Am I going crazy?

Is this all there is left to life?
Is this the only thing that life has to offer?

Is this all there is?
Is this the extent of what I can experience?

Take me home
Bring me back to where I belong

I've found my home
I found the place where I belong and feel complete

"I've searched and searched, I've laid awake at night, I've walked through the darkness, I've ran to the light" If i can some up all the things going on in my life, it would be that line. Such a beautiful piece from TWA<3

I used to be wicked into drugs and one night i overdosed on dxm and had the worst trip ever I literally felt my life leaving me and my brain melting away. And out of nowhere this song kept playing in an endless cycle through my head over and over again not just bits and pieces but the whole song as if i was actually listening to it in my brain. It was so eerie and I was so ready to die, but somehow i'm still here and now every time I listen to this song it gives me such a nostalgic feeling.

I can astral project, i sometimes do it by accident, to those who really want to experience it, i warn you now its scary as fuck for the first time. Clearly someone in this band has done it, the beginning of the song sets the tone to how it actually feels like. Amazing piece.

I think it's about a person who's grown up and isn't happy with their life and situation, and all they want to do is go to a better place. (could mean heaven or literally a better place)
