Lyric Interpretations- The Adventure

This is, by far, one of my most favorite songs. Now only is the tune great, but the lyrics are deep, well-written, and they have an actual meaning.

The Adventure is an alternative rock song by the Band Angels and Airwaves. If you have ever heard Blink-182, you should recognize the vocals of Tom Delonge, the front-man of Blink-182. This song is the fourth track from their debut album "We Don't Need To Whisper," which came out on May 23, 2006. It is also their first single.

Now for the interpretation.


I wanna have the same last dream again
The one where I wake up and I'm alive
 
 <(This is saying how he wants to have that feeling of being alive and free after
 having a sense of hopelessness)> 
 
Just as the four walls close me within
My eyes are open up with pure sunlight
 
<(This is describing the hopelessness. A feeling that you can't solve your problems.
 He now sees the truth. He now knows that you really can be saved, cleansed, and free.)>

I'm the first to know
My dearest friends
Even if your hope has burned with time
Anything that is dead shall be re-grown
And your vicious pain, your warning sign
You will be fine
 
 <(He telling his friends, "Hey, even if you have lost all hope, it will be revived.
" Let's say this is about addiction or some other sin. If you feel a pain that says you
 shouldn't be doing this, that's a warning. It could be guilt, fear, or just an uncomfortabl
 feeling. If you feel this, and you act upon it, you're going to be fine.)>
 
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life's waiting to begin
 
<(Here I am. I am ready for my life to addicted to something, you don't really
 have a life. Addiction is your life. He's telling everyone that life is waiting, go live it.)> 
 
Any type of love it will be shown
Like every single tree reach for the sky 
 
<( Love unites us, and we are all trying to reach a goal, Heaven. Everyone, like
 a tree, is trying to reach the sky, which is Heaven. Love gets us there, or
 at least makes it easier.)>
 
If you're gonna fall
I'll let you know
That I will pick you up
Like you for I
 
<(If you fall from sin, I will be there for you every step afterwords always.
 I will help you repent, be strong, and feel loved. All that I ask in return is
 that you do the same for me.)> 

I felt this thing
I can't replace
 
<(He has a feeling he can never deny.)> 

Where everyone was working for this goal
Where all the children left without a trace 
Only to come back as pure as gold 
 
 <(These are the hardest lines to interpret. I think it means that while
 everyone was working for something, a few people lost themselves
 to sin, but then they defeated the addiction or other sin and repented,
 and they came out of it all stronger than before.)> 
 
To recite these lines
 
<(They're telling everyone what happened. Remember, smart people learn 
from there mistakes, but wise people learn from others.)> 
 
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life's waiting to begin
Tonight
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life's waiting to begin
Tonight
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life's waiting to begin

I can not live
I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me 
 
<(I can not go through life without your help. I need you.)> 
 
Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
Life's waiting to begin (do this with me)
Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
Life's waiting to begin
Life's waiting to begin
 
<(Two past lines make a new meaning. He's now saying that life is ready
 to be lived, and that he wants this other person to live life with him.
'Life is not worth living alone.)> 


Such an Amazing song. I'll probably be doing an interpretation on the song "Everything's Magic" by the same artist very soon. Thanks for reading.
