Wanderer
Twilight Guardians Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm safely aside
I live from my instincts
Can't see you reasons
Can't see your rhymes
I take my steps
Need nothing to follow
All those miles I'll make mine
Been there, been gone
I'm here, I am nowhere
With you I'd stay for a while
Might feel like home
There for a heartbeat
I'd trade my sins for one smile

Wandered through the confusion as my feet
Ten thousand eyes and still no belief
Wandering kind with spirit os no needs
This traveller's home if you want him

Been there, been gone
I'm here, I am nowhere
With you I'd stay for a while
Might feel like home
And there for a heartbeat
I gave away all those lies

Wandered through the confusion as my feet
Ten thousand eyes and still no belief




Wandering kind with spirit os no needs
This traveller's home if you want him

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Wanderer" by Twilight Guardians describe a person who feels safe living by their instincts and not following anyone else's lead. They don't understand other people's reasons or rhymes, and prefer to take their own steps without anyone to guide them. They have been to many places and have experienced a lot, but they don't feel like they belong anywhere. Despite this, they would stay with someone they care about for a while, because that person's presence might feel like home. They would even trade their mistakes for a single smile from that person.


The chorus talks about how the person has wandered through confusion and found no answers or belief, but they continue to move forward. They have a wandering spirit, and they don't need anything except the sense of adventure that comes with travel. The singer is essentially saying that they will always be a wanderer at heart, but if someone wants to take them in and make them feel at home, they would stay for a while.
