Searching for Atlantis Lyrics

Here we stand underneath a blood red sky
To seek the answer we're all looking for
We build our lives but there's no certainty
They won't be washed away like castles in the sand

We're still searching for Atlantis
We're all looking for our shangrila
Searching for Atlantis

Looking back you can't change a thing
In your mind there lies the key
There are many doors that you'll be passing through
Down the winding road to find your xanadu

We're still searching for Atlantis
We're all looking for our shangrila
Searching for Atlantis

You walk the path towards your destiny
Through twists and turns to reach your journey's end
We build our lives but there's no certainty
They won't be washed away like castles in the sand

Cover art for Searching for Atlantis lyrics by Saxon

The song compares the search for the legendary lost city of Atlantis to seeking answers and fulfillment in life. It explores the human desire for a utopian or ideal place, often referring to it as a Shangri-La, an idyllic and unreachable paradise, and through references to uncertainty and life's impermanence, it suggests a quest for finding meaning and purpose amidst the fleeting nature of existence. References to doors and Xanadu also suggest a metaphorical path full of choices and the eventual revelation of one's personal paradise.
