Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running too fast for life's upside to outshine the darkness within
Chorus:
Well I try to transcend the anger I'm in
But nothing seems to carry me so far away again
Then I see you, and I begin to understand
We will pull through and seize the greatest time at hand

(chorus)
In Vangard's song "Pull Through," the lyrics describe the universal struggle of feeling overwhelmed and trapped by the negative emotions that exist within us. The opening lines express a sense of suffocation and feeling boxed in by the pressures of life. The singer feels like they are running too fast and cannot keep up with the constant demand to be happy and positive despite the darkness that lurks within. This feeling is relatable to many people who experience depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope. The singer acknowledges the anger that they are feeling but tries to look beyond it. They see someone who gives them clarity and helps them understand that they can pull through and find the greatest time at hand. This person may be a friend, family member, or therapist, but their presence helps the singer see that there is a way out of the darkness.
