Lyrics Artists add. Carry on Wayward Son song meanings. Add Your Thoughts Comments. General Comment This is a little different than what everyone else has been say- but i first heard this song when I was going through a very emotionally trying adolescent stage. I see this song about a teenager who feels so much turmoil inside, but tries hide it. Lay your weary head to rest, Don't you cry no more " - the son is the teenager, who is wayward- either he is rebelling or just feels mixed up inside- the chorus is telling him to carry on bec at the end there will be peace- once he grows out of that stage he will be in better control of his feelings and feel at peace.
I was soring ever higher, But I flew too high. But he flew too high- he started thinking too much thus pushing him back into his depression and turmoil. Though my mind could think I still was a mad man.
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming, I can hear them say If he acts so wise like he knows everything- a lot of teenagers think they know everything- but they really dont and are very inexperienced with life.
Maybe hes involved with the wrong crowd, maybe hes into drugs. There was an error. I think you, my friend have nailed it!!!!
This is good!!! I always liked the sound of the song, but the meaning could be just for me! Everyone thinks that I am happy, but inside I am not. DJN8 on June 11, From wiki " This was written by Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren.
According to Livgren, the song was not written to express anything specifically religious, though it certainly expresses spiritual searching and other ideas.
Livgren became an evangelical Christian in , and has said that his songwriting to that point was all about "searching. I saw myself as the 'Wayward Son,' alienated from the ultimate reality, and yet striving to know it or him. The positive note at the end 'Surely heaven waits for you' seemed strange and premature, but I felt impelled to include it in the lyrics.
It proved to be prophetic. General Comment No Replies Log in to reply. For instance, Mick Fleetwood later told me that Fleetwood Mac died a death every time we went on first. We were a hard act to follow. Each night, Livgren would write a song and the following morning rehearse it at the vacant store in a strip mall in Topeka used by the band and their producer Jeff Glixman.
Seven songs, including the aptly titled six-suite epic Magnum Opus , which eventually brought the record to a close, were worked up before the group relocated to the middle of a remote Louisiana swamp to record them. And then something remarkable happened. It became the hit they craved so badly.
It was a song of self-encouragement. He is Wayward from his true self and doesn't want to live this way anymore. He even says he "set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say It is why he is on a "stormy sea of moving emotion. Alright knuckleheads. Here's the deal. The first line is: " He knew there was more to life than the simple everyday. He dabbled in different religious philosophies and teachings. But nothing ever came to he that smacked him in the face.
He was on a voyage, a spiritual voyage to figure out what he believed in. When this was written, he didn't know what he believed in, and that what it's about It's about looking for answers, not finding them, and continuing your search regardless of the progress thus far.
I think the song is about someone who is woke. He Realizes that this world that we live in is simply just an allusion and every day life and stresses and events or simply noise and confusion he clearly says this when he says once he rose above the noise and confusion just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion. This clearly is someone who understands that we are eternal and this is temporary and that we are spiritual beings living in a body.
Hi im lost and this has always been my favorite song for seventeen years and i was praying and thinking a lot and this song came on and it really made me think. If the whole world really went away today, and i died, I would see God. But to truly allow that into our imagination is too hard because its the Truth. Are we really this selfish. This is the biography of St. He is the wayward son of his mother St.
She raised him Christian, he spent the better part of his life in search of the truth. Eventually he came full circle, found the truth, got baptized, and returned to his Catholic beginnings. I don't think I can do better than 1. It is amazing how closely that mirrors my life right now. This song played on there all the time and it became our "song". Countless times, I played the song, hoping that we could get back to our previous relationship before my divorce.
Trying to have faith that my decision would be better for us all in the long run. But, I have my doubts. Looks like this song is about the overreaching and stretched out mind of a wayward son who sadly broke away from his Father and now hears voices telling him to ''carry on my wayward son'' who's gone westward as a modern day ''citizen kane'', chasing his dream sort of speaking.
Its a song about the seventh angel The Angel and the Small Scroll When the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to put it in writing. The sky will burn at forty-five degrees. Fire approaches the great new city I've always thought this was a song about the exploits of a serial killer.
I think the lyrics fully support this interpretation. Call me crazy but i hear a heavy religious undertone in the song. And to be more specific about Judas and his feeling of guilt and remorse and his end. Soaring ever higher but i flew to high. Overstepping his place and thinking wat path to take for the followers.
