Where'd You Go
[Mp3ray.us.lt] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Full of nameless names and empty faces
The scars that infect my arms will always be
The constant remind that I am the one to blame
I am the one to blame
I am the one to blame
I am the one to blame
If I go away
Will you be the same
If I go away
Will you be the same
And for a second I found myself
Lost in this moving universe
Feeling the complexity
Of the earth's inverse
But no one cares about questioning existence
They only care about this song's consistence
If I go away
Will you be the same
If I go away
Will you be the same
I drove home with tears in my eye
I couldn't stand to see you cry
When I looked in my rear view mirror
I saw you sitting there
And when I looked in my rear view mirror
I saw you sitting there
The song "Where'd You Go" by [Mp3ray.us.lt] explores themes of loneliness, guilt, and the fear of change. The lyrics depict a sense of disconnection and isolation in unfamiliar places, where the singer encounters people who are unrecognizable and strangers to them. The mention of "nameless names and empty faces" reflects the feeling of being surrounded by unknown individuals who don't leave a lasting impression.
The mention of scars on the singer's arms suggests a deeper emotional pain or self-inflicted harm. These scars serve as a constant reminder that they are responsible for their own suffering. The repetition of "I am the one to blame" emphasizes a sense of guilt and self-blame, suggesting that they perceive themselves as the cause of their own distress.
In the chorus, the singer contemplates the impact of their absence on others. They question whether those around them, most likely a loved one or close friend, will remain the same if they were to go away. This reflects a fear of change and uncertainty regarding the impact their presence has on someone else's life.
In the following verse, the singer describes a moment of introspection where they feel lost in the vast complexity of the world. They confront the existential questions about existence and the meaning of life, but lament that others seem disinterested and only care about the consistency of the song. This suggests a sense of frustration with society's tendency to prioritize surface-level concerns over the deeper philosophical inquiries.
The song concludes with a poignant scene of the singer driving home, observing their loved one crying in the rearview mirror. This evokes a sense of heartbreak and regret, as they acknowledge the pain they have caused their partner. The repetition of seeing them sitting in the mirror emphasizes their presence and the emotional impact they continue to have.
Overall, "Where'd You Go" dives into the emotional turmoil of loneliness, guilt, and the fear of change. The lyrics create a sense of distance and disconnection while exploring the singer's internal struggles and their impact on others.

Traveling these unfamiliar places
Navigating through unknown territories
Full of nameless names and empty faces
Encountering people and locations without any personal connections
The scars that infect my arms will always be
The physical reminders of my mistakes will never fade
The constant remind that I am the one to blame
A persistent realization that I am at fault
I am the one to blame
I hold responsibility for the consequences
If I go away
If I were to leave
Will you be the same
Will your state of being remain unchanged
And for a second I found myself
Momentarily, I discovered
Lost in this moving universe
Confused within the vastness of existence
Feeling the complexity
Experiencing the intricacy
Of the earth's inverse
Of the opposing forces of the world
But no one cares about questioning existence
However, no one truly considers pondering their own existence
They only care about this song's consistence
Their sole concern lies in the reliability of this song
I drove home with tears in my eye
I returned home while shedding tears
I couldn't stand to see you cry
I couldn't bear witnessing your sorrow
When I looked in my rear view mirror
As I glanced at my reflection in the rearview mirror
I saw you sitting there
I observed you seated
And when I looked in my rear view mirror
And as I peered once more into the rearview mirror
I saw you sitting there
I witnessed you still present

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once and a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, and I'm plannin' to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find that you have something to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

My friend just disappeared and everyone was wondering where he went for a year. And so 1 year later I'm at an airport ready to go to my grandparents house for the summer i get in my seat i look to see who ill be with for the next 6 hours and i see him. He looked at me like NOTHING happened. When i asked him where he went. He said: "I lost my friend." Then i remembered his dog was his LIFE...his dog had ran away and he found it 2 states away with a girl caring for it till it died. Needles to say. He married that woman (not because if the dog) and he now has 2 kids, and a dog. Every thursday...he listens to this song...the day Shoddy died. If you read this whole thing i praise you! Just thought i should share this

My Mom died May 12, 2010 a month after my 13th birthday. She was buried May 18th when which is also her birthday.. I remember crying as they put her in the ground and thinking "What a birthday gift, I'm burying you Mom." I have night terrors about it til this day I'll be 27 next month. Songs like this have been a main to key to helping me make it this far, even after that I been thru nothing but hell.
But I refuse to give up on heaven.
