Song Meaning of “Beyond Man and Time” by RPWL
This song speaks to the concept of transcending beyond our physical forms to become one with something larger. In it, the narrator reaches out to both time and man to connect to something greater. Through their spiritual exploration, they find healing from pain and confusion that comes with the physical world. The intertwined lyrics of the chorus, “But endless time can never be wrong / And man can never be wise forever” hint at a sort of duality, that although we can’t rely on the physical world to bring us answers, we can find the answers from something beyond it.
The lyrics also hint at an understanding of death. There is a sense that in transcending the physical world, we can find liberation and peace in death, something that the narrator has found comfort in. Finally, the song speaks to the unknown truth about the universe that is yet to be revealed. The narrator calls out in line “It’s so hard to be just one of the crowd / To be part of all that moves around”, showing their search for the secrets of the universe that lie just beyond our view.
