📝 The Voyager Lyrics – English
Revolve 180 'til the tables turn
Let me be in my home, let me have what I've earned
Can't I partake in what I deserve?
Bookshelf like walls of the universe
I don't know what is real, only know what I've heard
It's a pretense I have of this earth
[Chorus]
Sidestep, make way for the voyager
He's been looking around, tryna prove all his worth
Spent a long time digging through the dirt
Lightspeed, light-years well ahead of us
He knows something we don't, and that's what he prefers
Couldn't handle the truth at its worst
[Verse 2]
Hey
It's nothin' real that he's running from
Still, he left what he loved 'cause he had to run
And he tries not to beg about it, oh well, oh well
It's at night when he comes undone
'Cause everything reminds him that he's all alone
And it's hard not to think about it, oh well, oh well
[Pre-Chorus]
He fell from the light
Spend a long time down in the depths of his mind
Oh, hoping to find, why
He's caught in his ways
You can tell he's lost by the look in his eyes
[Chorus]
So, sidestep, make way for the voyager
He's been looking around, tryna prove all his worth
Spent a long time digging through the dirt
Lightspeed, light-years well ahead of us
He knows something we don't, and that's what he prefers
Couldn't handle the truth at its worst
[Bridge]
'Cause you will find out you're more alive if you feel loved
And let longing die
You'll find out there's more in time
This is life
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, oh
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
[Outro]
Revolve 180 'til the tables turn
Let me be in my home, let me have what I've earned
Can't I partake in what I deserve?
