Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Rapture” by Tom Walker
“Rapture” by Tom Walker tells a thoughtful story of being in a place between the everyday and something greater. It suggests that while we may sometimes feel stuck in the everyday, there is something else bigger and more meaningful waiting for us. Walker emphasizes his desire to break from the mundane and find a way into something special, or even spiritual. His longing to experience something larger than life is felt through the lyrics, as he asks for guidance to the unknown. As he reaches greater heights, there is a sense of clarity, and peace. Only in achieving this rapture can such clarity be reached. As Walker sings, “I get a feeling, I get a feeling, that I’m gonna find something, something I can call mine.” He’s longing for something that is just reachable, yet out of his grasp. He faces his anxieties, doubts, and fears as he continuously searches for the rapture. In the end, the rapture is something that cannot be defined, experienced, or described, but it encourages us to keep searching.
