Transition
mind.in.a.box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had arrived
Where my journey had begun
I knew that behind those doors
Had been all the answers
But now they were shut tight
And the place deserted
Where was the music?
Where were all the people?
My search for the Dreamweb
Had brought me here
But I still had to find the Sleepwalkers
And then I could hear it
The music. that singular music
In the dead silence, in this dark alley
It was still in my head
And then I knew what I had to do
The lyrics of "Transition" by mind.in.a.box describe a protagonist who has been on a quest for weeks to find answers to some unknown questions. As the lyrics suggest, the singer has searched high and low and has finally returned to where the journey began. They have made their way to a place where they previously believed they could find all the answers, but has found it deserted instead. The doors have been closed tight, and the usual music and people are nowhere to be found. The singer's search for the Dreamweb has led them here, and they still have to find the Sleepwalkers. The next few lines describe the singer's frustration as they wonder why the music and people are missing.
Suddenly, the singer hears the familiar music they had been searching for. The music is still in their head, even though they are in a dark and silent alley. They realize that they must take a step forward and find the Sleepwalkers, no matter how difficult it might be.
The song is about finding answers to some mystery through a quest. The singer is on a quest looking for answers, and even though they have returned to where the journey began, they are still not certain what they are searching for. The singer's search for the Dreamweb and the Sleepwalkers is an analogy for the search for truth, and the lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to go to great lengths to find it.

After weeks of searching
Following an extensive research period
I had arrived
I finally got to my destination
Where my journey had begun
The starting point of my journey
I knew that behind those doors
I was aware of the answers behind the doors
Had been all the answers
The answers I needed were behind those doors
But now they were shut tight
The answers were no longer accessible
And the place deserted
The location was abandoned
Where was the music?
I was surprised to hear no music
Where were all the people?
I was also surprised to find nobody around
My search for the Dreamweb
I was looking for the Dreamweb
Had brought me here
Which led me to this place
But I still had to find the Sleepwalkers
However, I still needed to locate the Sleepwalkers
And then I could hear it
That was when I heard it
The music. that singular music
The unique and explicit music
In the dead silence, in this dark alley
Despite the quietness of the alley
It was still in my head
The music was ringing in my head
And then I knew what I had to do
That was when I realized what I had to do
