Song Meaning of “See the Country” by The Babies
This ethereal, contemplative song from The Babies tells a story of looking out at a far away land from a place of refuge. The narrator is reflecting on a difficult past, and how that has brought him or her to this newfound appreciation of the beauty of the countryside. The lyrics suggest a kind of inner peace that comes from a place of safety, and of finding peace within oneself when everything else is tumultuous.
The chorus of the song beacons a call to arms of sorts, to see the beauty of the land despite our inner struggle. It speaks to the idea of finding love and acceptance, even when the world seems bleak. One can take comfort in the sights and sounds of the countryside, and by immersing in its beauty and peace, maybe, just maybe, we can make it through our struggles.
The song is full of hope that our individual paths can eventually lead us to a place where we can settle and feel at home. Where we can look to the scenes of the land and find rest. A place of solace and peace.
