2. Boston-based ambient sludge metal band. The band combines a wide variety of influences, creating a style of post-metal that fuses the melancholy and melody of bands like Cult of Luna and Katatonia with massive, crushing riffs and a sense of urgency hinting at their roots in hardcore and sludge (ala Crowbar, Will Haven, Coalesce, etc).
The band released a well-received self-titled debut EP in 2008 on Forgotten Empire records, and a split 12" LP with Monolith (Philadelphia) in 2010 on the NYC-based Silence of Silence label. As of November 2010, the group has changed their name to simply 'VYGR' to avoid confusion with other acts, and has recorded a full-length album titled "Hypersleep" which is due for a January 2011 release through San Francisco label, Creator-Destructor.

It's A Wonder
Voyager Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want nine more lives
You need hearing eyes
You need cleaner strides
You want grand and picturesque
You crave temper passion rest
You want youth and many souls all made of gold
I have built the boat to get me out of here so I set the
What we have
Is like the falling rain
We got someone to blame
What we want
Will always be the same
We are part of the game
And no one wants to be in mediocrity
You want just another dame
You want all in all aflame
You have acres of their love
You have what is not enough
You want grand and picturesque
You crave temper passion rest
You want youth and many souls all made of
What we have
Is like the falling rain
We got someone to blame
What we want
Will always be the same

Always greener, always more
What you have is such a bore
Never-ending seeking more
It's a wonder that we ignore
Always greener, always more
What you have is such a bore
Never-ending seeking more
It's a wonder that we ignore
And no one wants to be in mediocrity
In "It's A Wonder" by Voyager, the lyrics describe someone who is never satisfied with what they have and always wanting more. The song begins with the singer citing various desires from the person they are addressing, including wanting more time, more opportunities, and more wealth. The singer then contrasts this with their own actions, stating that they have already taken steps to leave behind their negative surroundings and find success.
The chorus of the song offers commentary on the human condition, with the singer suggesting that everyone always wants more, and that this desire is what keeps people from being content with their lives. The lyrics also mention the fear of mediocrity, which can drive people to constantly pursue more and better things.
One interesting aspect of "It's A Wonder" is its use of powerful imagery to describe this sense of longing and dissatisfaction. The lyrics mention "acres of love" and "many souls all made of gold," which evoke a sense of abundance and riches. The singer also uses phrases like "temper passion rest" and "cleaner strides" to describe the idealized state of being that the person they are addressing is seeking.
Another interesting element of the song is its incorporation of electronic and symphonic elements. The music shifts and swells along with the lyrics, highlighting the song's message of seeking more and never being satisfied. With its combination of powerful lyrics and intricate composition, "It's A Wonder" is a standout track from Voyager's discography.
