| Kansas – Point of Know Return Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
When I first heard the song I thought there was no meaning at all, but when I finally looked up the lyrics, I instantly thought of a friend of mine named Corin who's in the army "I heard the men saying something The captains tell they pay you well And they say they need sailing men to Show the way, and leave today Was it you that said, "How long, how long?"" That me think of how Corin always wanted to be in the army as long as I can remember "They say the sea turns so dark that You know it's time, you see the sign They say the point demons guard is An ocean grave, for all the brave, Was it you that said, "How long, how long, How long to the point of know return?"" That part is saying that the trip isn't going to be easy, and that only the brave people who survive will make it all the way through "Your father, he said he needs you Your mother, she says she loves you Your brothers, they echo your words: "How far to the point of know return?" "Well, how long?"" That's talking about how the army is going to make you a better man (Your father, he said he needs you), how people back home miss him (Your mother, she says she loves you), and how he's a hero to some people, including me (Your brothers, they echo your words) "Today I found a message floating In the sea from you to me It said that when you could see it You cried with fear, the Point was near Was it you that said, "How long, how long To the Point of Know Return?"" That part reminds me of how Corin mailed me saying that it's hard, but he's going to stick with it and see it all the way through |
