Return
Valley of Bones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When no one seems to learn
Lies at the end of the our days
No logical return
Biotech spins the world around
So what if I'm not like you
We're livin' like hell
We got ties to the south
Souls are gettin' tired
Scars at the end of the town
In the end it all comes down
Always we pray and pray
But we keep on going on and on.
Breaking those thrones
We're livin' like hell
You got to speed to the limit
You gotta hold to your own now
It's all over
The lyrics of Valley of Bones's song "Return" depict a sense of disillusionment and frustration with the world and society. The first verse expresses a feeling of futility and questioning the purpose of trying when it seems that others refuse to learn from their mistakes. The line "Lies at the end of our days, no logical return" suggests that there are deceit and dishonesty at the core of our existence, leading to a lack of any meaningful outcome or progress.
The second verse introduces the concept of biotechnology and how it has profoundly influenced and manipulated the world we live in. The line "So what if I'm not like you" indicates a resistance or refusal to conform to societal norms and expectations. The lyrics imply a desire to challenge and question the established order, breaking free from the constraints imposed by society and living life on one's own terms.
The next lines, "Breaking those thrones, we're livin' like hell," further emphasize the rebellious and non-conforming attitude of the song. It suggests a rejection of authority and a refusal to conform to societal expectations, choosing instead to live in a way that may be deemed chaotic or rebellious, but authentic and true to oneself.
The following section mentions ties to the south and exhausted souls. This could be interpreted as a metaphorical reference to feeling connected to a place that has become weary and worn out, possibly representing the struggles and scars that accumulate over time. The line "In the end it all comes down" suggests a realization that ultimately, everything simplifies or boils down to something fundamental or essential.
The repetition of the phrase "Breaking those thrones, we're livin' like hell" reinforces the theme of rebellion and defiance against authority or societal norms. These lyrics express a determination to live life on one's own terms despite the consequences or perceptions from others.
The closing lines "You gotta speed to the limit, you gotta hold to your own now, it's all over" could be interpreted as a recognition of the urgency to live life to the fullest, going against the grain and being true to oneself. The words imply an acceptance of the finality of life and the need to make the most of it while we can.
Overall, "Return" by Valley of Bones showcases a rebellious and defiant perspective on life, expressing frustration and a refusal to conform to societal expectations. It encourages individuality, authenticity, and a rejection of authority, reminding listeners to make the most of their lives despite the challenges they may face.

Why should I try
What is the point of making an effort
When no one seems to learn
When nobody shows any signs of gaining knowledge or understanding
Lies at the end of the our days
Deceit awaits us in the future
No logical return
No reasonable or rational outcome
Biotech spins the world around
The manipulation of technology affects the course of the world
So what if I'm not like you
It doesn't matter if I am different from you
Breaking those thrones
Overthrowing oppressive systems of power
We're livin' like hell
Our lives are filled with misery and suffering
We got ties to the south
We have connections to the southern region
Souls are gettin' tired
Our spirits are becoming weary
Scars at the end of the town
In the end, the town is marked with scars or wounds
In the end it all comes down
Ultimately, everything leads to a particular outcome
Always we pray and pray
We continuously offer prayers
But we keep on going on and on.
Nevertheless, we persist and continue
You got to speed to the limit
You have to accelerate to the maximum extent
You gotta hold to your own now
You need to maintain your own identity now
It's all over
Everything has ended or concluded

Yes-the dry bones Ezekiel saw are truly both the physical bones and the collective bones, the literal and the metaphorical. Thanks for your insight and the confirmation of what I have seen in my own spirit about this passage. I also want to thank you for your kind, gentle spirit when sharing your insights. This manner of imparting and sharing is a gift from God.

I think you are missing the point. No doubt according to Ezekiel it is "The House of Israel" all not Judah but this is still remnants of the tribes of Israel nonetheless
