I wrestled long with my youth
We tried so hard to live in the truth

from Mumford & Sons – Hopeless Wanderer Lyrics on Rap Genius

As the titular “hopeless wanderer” Mumford is constantly seeking truth elsewhere. Like many young people, Mumford spent his youth grappling with the world’s complexities, trying to find himself and a way to “live in truth” in a world full of grey areas. Though he may no longer be young, his search continues even as he longs to “grow old” so that he may finally move away from the struggles of youth and learn to “love the skies [he] is under.”
