The name is used by a Dutch drone project, a San Francisco based post-rock band, and a pop-punk band.
_____________________
1. Dutch: Since Beequeen will no longer be releasing drone-music, Wander was formed in the winter of 2000. Principally based on organ-drones, Wander has plans to release their material on various formats, but on every format only once. There's a nice challenge... Wander will also perform live.
2. American: Wander is a post-rock band from the San Francisco Bay Area that formed in 2013.
Their sound can be compared to the post-rock bands Mono & Godspeed You! Black Emperor but with faster tempos and intricate drumming like the japanese math rock bands Toe & té. In 2013 they released their debut 10" on their D.I.Y label Headless Queen Records.
3. Wander is a pop-punk band from Maryland who formed in April 2013. They released their debut album 'Wander' on the 26th of August 2014.
Brave
Wander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The product of obscure design,
A pent up agitated mind
Lost sight of my most calculated plans
Broke every promise to myself,
A pattern I know all too well
Connections are carelessly severed when I need them most
For what?
Search for another excuse, or regret the truth as soon as you find it
Put up with mental abuse, by pretentious fools who think that they're so open-minded
I can't stand biting my tongue, but when I'm candid you always lash out and deny it
So when you're coming undone, remember honesty only hurts more when you fight it
It's difficult to say, if I'll ever find a way to clean the mess inside my mind
And I've tried to put to rest, the pounding in my chest that causes me to fall behind
I've been here before, but I don't want to stay, I'm planning my escape
So unlock the door, and though I am afraid, I'll brave the world away
I hear them calling my name, and now there's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to hide
I'm throwing out all the shame, that hangs in my heavy mind, in my heavy mind
Get up before it's too late, this bed is covered in lies, it's covered in lies
I'm moving out of the shade, so I can welcome the light, I'll welcome the light
The lyrics to Wander's song Brave are an introspective look at the struggles the singer has with their sense of self-worth and their ability to find direction in life. The first verse touches on how difficult it can be to maintain focus when feeling lost and alone. The singer has broken promises to themselves and recognizes a pattern of behavior that is all too familiar. They feel agitated and weighed down by their own mind.
The chorus speaks to the singer's struggle to confront their own faults and to speak their mind honestly. They are afraid of the repercussions of honesty but recognize that it is necessary for their own growth. The second verse continues with the theme of internal struggle, as the singer recognizes that they have been in this place before, but they don't want to stay there. They plan to escape but are afraid.
The bridge contains a call to action, urging the singer to get up and move on before it's too late. There is a sense of urgency in the lyrics, and a determination to welcome the light and shed the shame that has been holding them back.
Overall, the song is a powerful message of hope and perseverance despite the struggles that life can bring.
