The song expresses the combination of substantial ambition and haphazardness of the protagonist, who presumably suffers from an extreme case of wanderlust.
Along with “Final Straw” and “Aftermath”, “Wanderlust” is one of only a few of the less synth-heavy tracks on the record, although the track do...
Wanderlust Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Looks like I pulled a fast one
Looks like I went to town
Looks like the world revolves around me
Looks like it's falling down
I thought I'd kicked the traces
I thought the wheels would spin
I thought I'd jumped the fence and bolted
Looks like I'm back again
[Chorus]
I got my signals crossed
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust
[Verse 2]
I had to grab a suitcase
I had to change my clothes
I had to run the shower hot
Until the water froze
I brushed against confusion
I wanted time to grow
I want the sticks and stones not to throw me
Get back to what I know
[Chorus]
I got my signals crossed
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust
[Verse 3]
I'm searching for a greatness
I smear it on my face
I want to bathe in grape must
Swim the length of the milky way
I want it to be brilliant
I want it to be sweet
I want to kiss the astronauts
When they salute to me me me me
[Chorus]
I got my signals crossed
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust
I got my signals crossed
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust
