Uncharted Lyrics

No words, my tears won't make any room for 'em
Oh, and it don't hurt
Like anything I've ever felt before
This is no broken heart
No familiar scars
This territory goes uncharted

Just me in a room sunk down in a house in a town
And I don't breathe
No, I never meant to let it get away from me
No, I'm too much to hold
Everybody has to get their hands on gold
And I want uncharted

Stuck under the ceiling I made
I can't help but feeling

I'm going down
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out
A foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted

La, la, la-la-ah, oh

Each day I'm countin' up the minutes
'Til I get alone, 'cause I can't stay
In the middle of it all, it's nobody's fault, but I'm
So alone, never knew how much I didn't know
Oh, everything is uncharted

I know I'm getting nowhere
When I only sit and stare like

I'm going down
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out
A foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted

Jump start my kaleidoscope heart
Love to watch the colors fade
They may not make sense
But they sure as hell made me

I won't go as a passenger, no
Waiting for the road to be laid
Though I may be going down
I'm taking flame over burning out

Compare
Where you are to where you want to be
And you'll get nowhere

I'm going down
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out
A foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
To get started

Oh, I'm going down
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out
A foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted

La, la, la-ah

What is the Meaning of Uncharted?

In this poignant piece, the artist delves into the realm of uncertainty and unfamiliarity. The lyrics suggest a struggle with feelings of being lost and alone, yet there's an underlying tone of resilience and determination. "Uncharted" metaphorically represents a journey through life's unknown territories where one is forced to navigate without guidance or maps. Sara Bareilles emphasizes the importance of taking risks, stepping out of comfort zones, and embracing the unknown despite fear or doubt. The recurring phrase "I'm going down" reflects acceptance of potential failure as part of this exploration process. However, she also insists on not merely being a passive passenger but an active participant in her life trajectory. The song ultimately serves as an empowering anthem for those grappling with uncertainty, encouraging them to embrace their personal 'uncharted' paths.
