Lyrics

Will I make it home

Expressing uncertainty about reaching home.

Or make a name for myself

Contemplating whether to achieve personal success or prioritize relationships.

Will I make it back alive

Fear of not returning alive from a challenging journey or endeavor.

Will I see your face again

Yearning to reunite with someone significant.


Call me Mapmaker

Self-identification as a mapmaker, possibly symbolizing a guide or explorer role.

They say that I'm flying too close to the sun

Awareness of taking risks, possibly referencing the myth of Icarus.

Sailing too close to the edge

Navigating perilous situations, living on the edge.

From the trenches to the ends of the Earth

Reflecting on a journey from difficult circumstances to distant places.

Lost in these, these savage lands

Feeling lost and challenged in harsh, untamed environments.

Lost in these, these savage lands

Repetition emphasizing the sense of being lost in savage lands.

This is not, not what I had planned

Acknowledging that current circumstances are not as planned or anticipated.


Will I make it home

Reiterating the uncertainty of making it home or achieving personal fame.

Or make a name for myself

The internal conflict between personal success and returning home.

Will I make it back alive

Fear of not surviving a challenging journey.

Will I see your face again

Longing to see a loved one's face again.


There are eyes in the trees

Perceiving a watchful, possibly threatening presence in nature.

They watch us

Acknowledging being observed, possibly by external forces.

Ready to swing their blades

Anticipating danger, with the mention of blades and potential harm.

And carve the meat from our bones

Imagery of violence, suggesting a threat to life.

From our bones

Repetition emphasizing the potential harm to one's bones.


Should my own flesh and blood

Contemplating whether family should suffer for personal mistakes or misdeeds.

Suffer for my sins

A moral dilemma regarding the consequences of one's actions on family.


Will I make it home

Repeating the uncertainty of reaching home or achieving personal fame.

Or make a name for myself

Balancing the desire for success with the yearning to return home.

Will I make it back alive

Fearful anticipation of survival in challenging circumstances.

Will I see your face again

Longing to be reunited with a significant person.


Will I make it home

Reiterating the central theme of uncertainty and longing for home.

Or make a name for myself

Weighing the choice between personal success and returning home.

Will I make it back alive

Fear of not surviving and the desire to see a loved one again.

Will I see your face again

Expressing the ultimate hope of reuniting with a significant person.
