Where I'm Going
Cut Copy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take my hand if you know where I'm going
You know
You know
All you need is a dream and a lover too
All you need is a dream and a lover
Take my hand 'cause I know what you're going through
After the time I haven't known where you're going
You know
You know
It's my dream that you've chosen if you wanna to
It's a turning cause your if you wanna
You know
You know
I set me free
But I with hands of dreams
I know fresh down the sea
To wonder will agree
The song "Where I'm Going" by Cut Copy seems to be a message to a lover or a friend that tells them to trust the person singing and follow them. The singer is asking the person to trust him and take his hand because he knows where they're going. He tells them that all they need is a dream and a lover to follow their dreams. The next verse is about the singer knowing what the other person is going through and that they feel lost or unsure of where they're heading. The singer then tells the person that they've chosen their dream and their love, and they should trust him because he knows the way.
The lyrics are straightforward and make it seem like the song is about a journey the two people are taking together. The singer is trying to reassure the other person that everything will be alright and they just have to trust in their love and their dreams. It's almost like they're saying, "Don't worry, I know where we're going, we'll get there together."
The last two lines are a bit confusing and open to interpretation. It could mean that the singer is letting go of something (I set me free) and is now in a position to help the other person. The hands of dreams could refer to the person's dream or whatever they're searching for. The fresh down the sea could signify that they're moving forward to a new start, and to wonder will agree could be a way of saying that they'll find each other along the way.
