"Take Another Turn" by Sarah Jarosz is a reflective and introspective song about the struggles of being lost and lonely in life. The song compares being lost to being unable to find your way on a map after taking the wrong turn and forgetting where you came from. Meanwhile, being lonely is described as sitting alone in a room with only the sound of ringing in your ears, with no one to talk to but yourself. The lyrics encourage the listener to take another turn and find a different way forward, to push through a closed door and keep trying, even when things seem difficult. The song also touches on the concept of regret, and feeling sorry for missed opportunities or mistakes that cannot be undone. Additionally, "Take Another Turn" touches on the idea of hunger, both literal and metaphorical. The hunger for success, for accomplishment and for purpose being compared to the physical hunger for food. The verse suggests that only the best will allow you to rest and that hunger will always return by morning, implying that the quest for fulfillment and purpose is an ongoing one. Overall, the song is a heartfelt and reflective exploration of the struggles of being lost and alone in life, as well as the importance of perseverance and finding new paths forward.
