Wanderlust
Valar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over rock and under free
By caves where never sun has shone
By streams that never find the sea
Over snow by winter sown
And through the merry flowers of june
Over grass and over stone
And under mountains in the moon
Road go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have knows
The lyrics of "Wanderlust" by Valar describe the constant urge to explore and travel, to wander off into the unknown, and to discover new lands and experiences. The song presents a poetical account of the uncontainable human desire to embark on a journey into the wilderness, to face its challenges and to explore its beauty.
The verses "Road go ever ever on" and "Over rock and under free" evoke a sense of constant movement and the endless paths that one can choose to follow. The mention of caves, streams, snow, flowers, grass, stone, and mountains conjures the imagery of a diverse natural landscape that appeals to the singer's adventurous spirit. The reference to clouds and stars suggests that the journey is not bound by any particular time or place and is open to endless possibilities.
However, the last verse "Turn at last to home afar" reminds the listener that even the most seasoned travelers must return to their roots and embrace the familiar. The line "And trees and hills they long have known" speaks to the deep, emotional connection that exists between a person and their homeland, which can never be replaced, no matter how far one roams. Thus, the song ultimately captures the bittersweet sentiment that arises from the thrill of wanderlust and the comfort of home.

Road go ever ever on
The journey continues incessantly
Over rock and under free
Crossing paths with obstacles and freedom
By caves where never sun has shone
Exploring uncharted territories where light can't reach
By streams that never find the sea
Following streams that never reach their destination
Over snow by winter sown
Traversing through harsh winter conditions
And through the merry flowers of June
Witnessing the beauty of nature during summertime
Over grass and over stone
Journeying through the elements of nature
And under mountains in the moon
Venturing through mountainous regions under the bright moonlight
Under cloud and under star
Moving through different formations of the sky
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Continuing on the path despite previous travels
Turn at last to home afar
Eventually returning to a familiar destination
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
Having witnessed destruction and chaos
And horror in the halls of stone
Experiencing the terror of being trapped underground
Look at last on meadows green
Gazing upon the peacefulness of open fields
And trees and hills they long have known
Feeling comfort and familiarity with the landscape
