miss you
54·40 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you know what I've seen lately
To a land we call our own
Look for the inside
What was there I couldn't find
It seems the place is now a cave
And so I wander on through the empty fibers
And then I found another
You could ask me how come I did nothing
To change my ways
Miss you miss you all my soul
Miss you miss you can't feel whole
Go to where people stare
But what they watch still ain't there
I climbed up there anyway
You never know what it may show
The view was something like time
Ever changing life's endless glow
I saw a future sign
Said 'don't fall behind'
I imagine that is what it meant
Don't want to miss the time for
Getting together on to the land of
Better minds hearts and souls
Miss you miss you all my soul
Miss you miss you need that hole
What are you looking for
Let's take a little time
Knowing that you're whole
Do you know where you are now
Do you know if you've been found
Do you know how long you've been away
Don't mean to bring you down
Don't mean to make you bound
It only means that you hear me
Miss you miss you all my soul
Miss you miss you where'd you go
Everyone flies faster than light
Just to beat the gun
Breakin' it down
Makin' a sound
Not the only one
'Cause I know everybody feels
Everybody's real
Everybody needs a chance
To make a little love someday
Then I'll pray then I'll have to say
That I am with you
Oh, I miss you
The song "Miss You" by 54·40 is a nostalgic song about missing someone deeply. The opening lines "Do you know where I've been / Do you know what I've seen lately / To a land we call our own" suggest a journey or a search for something, possibly an emotional or spiritual quest. The following line "Look for the inside / What was there I couldn't find" refers to searching within oneself for answers or meaning. The melancholic tone of the song is also reflected in the line "And so I wander on through the empty fibers."
The middle section of the song suggests an attempt to fill a void or hole, both literally and metaphorically. The line "I found a hole that could be filled / And then I found another" suggests a desire to fill a void, but also highlights the endless search for something that could ultimately be unattainable. The chorus "Miss you miss you all my soul / Miss you miss you can't feel whole" suggests that the singer is missing someone they care about deeply and this feeling of loss is a source of emotional pain.
The song ends on a more positive note, with the lines "Everybody needs a chance / To make a little love someday / Then I'll pray then I'll have to say / That I am with you / Oh, I miss you." These lines suggest that there is still hope and the possibility of love and connection, even if it feels out of reach at times.

Do you know where I've been
Do you have any idea where I've been?
Do you know what I've seen lately
Do you know the things I've witnessed recently?
To a land we call our own
To a place where we feel we belong
Look for the inside
Examine what lies underneath the surface
What was there I couldn't find
I couldn't find what used to be there
It seems the place is now a cave
The place has become a dark, empty space
And so I wander on through the empty fibers
I continue to aimlessly roam through the vacant passages
I found a hole that could be filled
I found a void that could potentially be filled
And then I found another
And then I found yet another emptiness
You could ask me how come I did nothing
You may question why I took no action
To change my ways
To alter my behavior
Miss you miss you all my soul
I feel a deep longing for you
Miss you miss you can't feel whole
The ache of missing you is preventing me from feeling complete
Go to where people stare
Go to a place where all eyes are watching
But what they watch still ain't there
But what they observe still has an element of absence
I climbed up there anyway
Despite this, I still moved forward
You never know what it may show
One never knows what the outcome may be
The view was something like time
The sight was akin to a journey through time
Ever changing life's endless glow
The constant, evolving radiance of existence
I saw a future sign
I came across a harbinger of the future
Said 'don't fall behind'
It cautioned me not to lag behind
I imagine that is what it meant
I speculate that's what its intention was
Don't want to miss the time for
Don't want to miss the opportunity to
Getting together on to the land of
Joining together in a space of
Better minds hearts and souls
Improved intellect, emotions, and spirituality
Miss you miss you need that hole
I miss you and need the emptiness to be filled
What are you looking for
What is it that you seek?
Let's take a little time
Let's allocate some moments
Knowing that you're whole
With the understanding that you are complete
Do you know where you are now
Are you aware of your present location?
Do you know if you've been found
Do you know if you've been discovered by someone?
Do you know how long you've been away
Do you know how much time has elapsed since you've been absent?
Don't mean to bring you down
I don't intend to discourage you
Don't mean to make you bound
I don't mean to constrict you
It only means that you hear me
It signifies only that you are listening to me
Miss you miss you where'd you go
I miss you and am curious where you've disappeared to
Everyone flies faster than light
Everyone moves quickly
Just to beat the gun
To be prepared for something before it happens
Breakin' it down
Analyzing the situation
Makin' a sound
Taking action
Not the only one
Not the only person
'Cause I know everybody feels
Because I know everyone has emotions
Everybody's real
Everyone is genuine/authentic
Everybody needs a chance
Everyone deserves an opportunity
To make a little love someday
To experience a bit of affection at some point in time
Then I'll pray then I'll have to say
Then I'll plead, then I'll have to speak
That I am with you
That I stand alongside you
Oh, I miss you
Oh, I long for you
