Discover the story of the song > ALCHEMIST – Kasabian

The lyrics are about the protagonist trying to escape from something that is causing pain in his head. He wants to go back to a time when people believed in something and shut the door if his partner is leaving. He's had enough of the sound of guns and wants to be healed from the cuts in his heart. Despite all of this, he sees a light in his partner's eyes that keeps shining on. He doesn't understand the words he hears, but knows that he needs to let go of his fears. The water hitting the rocks represents the main theme of trying to escape and find peace.
