Song Meaning of “Modern Age” by Anberlin
Modern Age by Anberlin is a heartfelt plea to modern times, to the spirit of the generation, to find an answer and create a better world. It’s the recognition that the world isn’t perfect and that only by working together, by facing challenges head-on and by being brave enough to make changes, can the future be secure.
The song comes from unifying concepts of togetherness and harmony. The lyrics start like a stoic, hurt person who has tried of all his options, willing to come around and open his eyes.
The pre-chorus expresses a dream of a world free of war, illness, pain, and suffering – a world everyone can be proud of, and a world where there is only peace and love.
The chorus of Modern Age is a call to action. A reminder that together we are much stronger and can build a better tomorrow.
The bridge of the song is about accepting responsibility and stepping up to be the change. To live and make in the present the best of what we can and have faith that this will shape a better future for us all.
In the end, Modern Age is a song of hope and optimism. A reminder that when everything seems lost, when there’s talk of failure and disappointment, we can still come together and accomplish tremendous things. All we need is the courage to believe, work hard and take one step at a time.
