They hope that the other person also felt something special. They are addicted to the emotions they felt then. has the realisation/doubt that maybe it was all in their head, but they still yearn for how they felt at that time and dont want to accept that it couldve all just been in their imagination/perception. The relationship comes to an end, the person starts a new relationship and. its about recognizing that most of the time its how we look at things that determine how we feel about them.Īt the time of the relationship, the way the other person was,how they looked, all that made them attractive and how special the relationship was,was only in the perception of the person, inflated with their imagination and desire to feel love and give love. Its about how people idealize someone they love then look back later and have difficulty reconciling how they felt then to now. (The loneliness is consuming me as I'm lost searching for Atlantis, but you're nowhere to be found.) (We shared an intense moment that I idealize but that moment is fading.) Where are you now that I'm ready for you?) I'm moving deeper in search of "Atlantis") (My shallow life and relationships never satisfied me. Here Atlantis represents the true love that we feel exists but remains lost beneath the surface.)

Walker, in the very first line "you were the shadow to my light," is talking about how who he was was always keeping him from being who he was meant to be yet he keeps trying to him.
He is apparently looking for his lost self, hence the iconic line "Where are you now?" Walker is talking about having been someone different than who he is now, and the song being as nostalgic as it is, probably misses who he was. Though most people interpreted it as a song about a lost love, I would say it is about self discovery.
