Here We Go
Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What am I doing here?
Tormented like anybody
Wasted ideas, words to the wind
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
We have no sense or way forward
I'm a loser, without destiny or future
If nothing matters, why to go on?
Defeat took over me
To where I go I don't need hope
People come
Leave their marks and hurt you in different ways
As if nothing had happened they go away
To where they always belonged
We are despicable beings
We don't care about anything
Our lives are futile and worthless
We destroyed ourselves
And we don't want the worst to us
And we don't want the death of the world
We were doomed from the beginning
We have started our end
I feel sorry for those who stay
Turn off the light the last one out and don't look back
From nothing I came, to nothing we go
The lyrics of Above & Beyond's song "Here We Go" convey a sense of existential questioning and despair. The singer reflects on their own identity and purpose, feeling tormented and filled with wasted ideas and words. They also pose the same questions to an unknown "you," questioning their presence and purpose as well.
The overall sentiment expressed is that they, and perhaps their generation, feel lost and forgotten. They see themselves as losers without a destiny or future. The lyrics suggest that if nothing matters, there is no reason to continue or move forward in life. Defeat has taken hold, and hope seems unnecessary or irrelevant.
The song also touches upon the transient nature of people in our lives. They come and go, leaving their marks and hurting us in various ways. The lyrics depict a sense of detachment, as if the pain caused by these interactions is disregarded and people return to where they belong without acknowledging the impact they have had. The singer implies a sense of despicability and apathy within themselves and their generation, suggesting that they no longer care about anything.
The lyrics then take a turn towards the recognition of the futility and worthlessness of their lives. They acknowledge the destruction caused by themselves and express a desire to avoid further harm while simultaneously not wishing for the worst to happen to them or to the world. It culminates in a resignation to their fate, feeling sorry for those who are left behind and seemingly embracing the idea of returning to nothingness as they came.
Overall, "Here We Go" captures a sense of disillusionment, questioning, and despair about one's identity, purpose, and the state of the world.
