The Journey
okaywill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you will climb
All the treetops
That you will find
Will be forgotten
In good time
And all of it blows away on earth's decline
All the seasons
Begin to change
For whatever reason
I can't explain
Why do the stars all
Stay aligned
If I can find the time for you to make it right
I wanna know how long the journey's gonna take
I can't go on forever
I wanna find all of my written mistakes
I gotta pull this together
Till I get back to you
Till I get back to you
Till I get back to you
Till I get back to you
See to the forest
Where they all stay
With a glass in hand and a pickup Chevrolet
Check in the compass
To my dismay
How did I get from you
To so far away
Take all the notecards
Put them in your pocket
Swallow your patience
And save it for a rainy day
Why do all the
Stars align
The journey's rough
I know it's gonna take some time
I wanna know how long the journey's gonna take
I can't go on forever
I wanna find all of my written mistakes
I gotta pull this together
Till I get back to you
Till I get back to you
Till I get back to you
Till I get back to you
The lyrics to "The Journey" by okaywill are reflective, contemplative, and introspective. The opening lines, "All the mountains that you will climb, all the treetops that you will find / Will be forgotten in good time," suggest that despite the effort and obstacles that we face in life, they will ultimately fade away and become distant memories. The next verse, "All the seasons begin to change, for whatever reason I can't explain / Why do the stars all stay aligned," further highlight the unpredictability of life and how things can shift unexpectedly. Yet, the lyrics also suggest that amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there is still some order in the universe, as seen in the alignment of the stars.
The chorus, "I wanna know how long the journey's gonna take / I can't go on forever / I wanna find all of my written mistakes / I gotta pull this together," centers on the idea of personal growth and the desire to navigate through life's challenges in order to become a better version of oneself. The use of repetition of "Till I get back to you" adds an emotional weight to the song as the singer seeks to reconnect with someone or something they care deeply about after realizing their mistakes and enduring the hardships of life.
Overall, "The Journey" is a poetic reflection on life's journey and the need for personal growth and perseverance despite the unexpected twists and turns along the way.
