Song Meaning of “Off the Grid” by Project 86
Off the Grid by Project 86 is a song about a man who has let go of the ties that bind him to the society and reflects on why he chose to do so. He wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and make his own way living off the grid. He’s tired of aligning with the world’s expectations and wants to find peace and comfort in the wilderness. The narrator acknowledges that his solitude amongst the trees is an escape from his own mind. He realizes that the society he left is filled with lies and corruption and he wants to create a world of his own through being ‘off the grid.’ The chorus suggests that he’s chosen to live separately from society, but also frequently makes visits to civilization to keep his sanity. ‘Off the Grid’ by Project 86 speaks to those who have felt suffocated by their lifestyles. It’s a reminder that even though you can have a safe and secure life, it doesn’t guarantee happiness. It’s okay to pursue an alternative lifestyle if it makes you feel complete.
