Return
mothaltar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sparked the luminous to recreate
The meaning of Passions sake
From far off I heard the call
Down a road no eyes have seen
I thought I wasted my living
Grace is a path worth seeing
And to my tribe in the desert
Thank you for the living water
And to my tribe of mercy
The Kingdom is at hand
I found my reason to die again
I traded my heart
To play your rhythm of slavery
Losing my sense of self
I sang the melody that claimed your idols
Wearing the mask you made for me, you made for me, you made me see
You're worth dying for, and i know its true
The great Spirit will not make me suffer
He shall put me in a place where i am better off
The hand that fashioned me
Also created my surroundings
And to my tribe in the desert
Thank you for the living water
And to my tribe of Mercy
The Kingdom is at hand
I found my reason to die
Returning with a forest fire
The company of creatives have been inspired
The untouched terrain and untraveled road
Lies to those who wish to break the mold
I found my reason to die again
In the first stanza of Mothaltar's song "Return," the lyrics refer to the forefathers that came before us and their luminous spark to recreate the meaning of passion. This could signify the idea of legacy and how those who came before have paved the way for individuals to discover themselves and their passions. This theme of self-discovery is continued in the next few lines when the singer hears a call down a road that no one else has seen, suggesting that this figurative path is one less traveled, and therefore, it presents the opportunity for self-discovery.
The second stanza seems to be a prayer or a message of gratitude to two different tribes, one in the desert and one of mercy. "Thank you for the living water" may be a reference to gratitude for their teachings and guidance that have helped the singer find their way. The last line of the stanza is particularly poignant as the singer says they "found my reason to die again," suggesting that through these experiences, they have found a greater purpose or meaning that they are willing to give their life for.
Finally, the last stanza of the song talks about how the singer is returning with a forest fire and how the company of creatives has been inspired. The idea of a forest fire could represent destruction or rebirth, and paired with the phrase "company of creatives," it suggests that the singer has found a community of people who understand their perspective and have been inspired by their journey. The last line "I found my reason to die again" is repeated, emphasizing the idea that the journey of self-discovery and purpose is ongoing and cyclical.
