Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is your time, rise
Don't look behind
Burn all the bridges you've crossed
Trust what you know
Follow your soul
Not all who wonder are lost.

This is your time, rise
Don't look behind
Burn all the bridges you've crossed
Trust what you know




Follow your soul
Not all who, wonder are...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Westfield Massacre's Alchemy are a call to action towards overcoming any perceived limitations and becoming the best version of oneself. The opening line, "This is your time, rise," is a motivational message urging the listener not to waste any more time and to take control of their life. The line, "Don't look behind/Burn all the bridges you've crossed," emphasizes the importance of moving forward and letting go of past mistakes and regrets. It is an admonishment to forget the past and focus on the present and future.


The following lines, "Trust what you know/Follow your soul," suggest that one should trust their instincts and inner voice when making decisions. The final line of the chorus, "Not all who wonder are lost," is a reference to the J.R.R. Tolkien quote "Not all who wander are lost," which suggests that even when one is searching and exploring, they are not necessarily lost, but rather on an adventure. The use of 'wonder' instead of 'wander', however, adds a new interpretation of the line, suggesting that not all who wonder (i.e. have doubts or questions) are lost, but they can find their way if they trust their instincts.


Overall, the lyrics of Alchemy encourage listeners to be bold, take risks, trust themselves, and not give up on their dreams. It is a powerful anthem for anyone seeking motivation and inspiration.

on Build Your Thrones

Don't you know who the fuck I am
Or have a clue who I used to be
I came to bring the pain and I don't owe you a fucking thing

Build your thrones on broken bones

Why can't you see the signs?
The stories of your glory days were dead and left behind
Why can't you see?

Don't you know I am not the man that I had built myself up to be
I've died so many times that I can not accept defeat

Build your thrones on broken bones

Why can't you see the signs?
The stories of your glory days were dead and left behind
Why don't you see the signs?
The stories of your glory days were dead and left behind
Why can't you see?

Why can't you see the signs?
The stories of your glory days were dead and left behind
Why don't you see the signs?
The stories of your glory days were dead and left behind
Why can't you see?
