Anywhere
Wander Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drowned out, by every voice embedding doubt
In any certainty I thought that I'd found
Alone I find it hard to trust myself
Faith is a comfort that I've never felt
Seems like I'm missing a component and I'm broken
But a moment of peace is all I need to keep going

Spiteful talk, a rot that hangs in the air
I'll press on, I'm not going anywhere

Our amity died long ago
I still remember when we called it home
But I've abandoned hope for such a place
Now that malevolence has taken shape
Drifting away until I've lost myself
So I'll hide it from everyone else
Cause nobody else aligns

Spiteful talk, a rot that hangs in the air
We'll press on, we're not going anywhere





Anywhere

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Wander's song "Anywhere" speak to the struggles of finding inner peace and trust in oneself amid a world full of doubt and negativity. The opening lines suggest that the singer's sense of certainty has been drowned out by all the voices of doubt that surround them. This creates a feeling of isolation and mistrust in oneself, making it hard to believe in anything at all, including faith. The singer believes that they are missing something essential and feel broken without it.


However, the song's chorus is a message of perseverance despite the difficulties one faces. The singer acknowledges the "spiteful talk" that hangs in the air but vows to press on, refusing to give up or give in to negativity. The second verse continues along the theme of lost hope, particularly in relationships that once felt like home. However, the singer has also let go of the hope of finding such a place and accepted the reality that malevolence has taken shape. The song's final line, "Anywhere," suggests that the singer's long-term goals remain hazy, but they are pressing forwards.


Overall, the song conveys a sense of uncertainty and doubt, but the chorus provides a much-needed message of hope and perseverance.

I completely forgot about this mission, really shows how some areas weren't allowed to be finished. You can't even deal with Alexus.

SANTIAGO VASQUEZ GOMEZ

For real.

I did this quest killing all the Legion soldiers including Alexus. But I earned bad karma for the Legion in an early level and wandering the wasteland became a nightmare every 20 minutes so I had to reload the game and ignore this quest indefinitely.

Last night I thought that maybe I could make some sort of deal with Alexus to buy the NCR soldiers as slaves and then set them free once out of the mine.

Now I know it's impossible, and I will have to kill everyone to finish the quest...
