Do What You Want To Do
Adema Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where will we go?
Where will we go?

Sign away all of my decisions
Tell when I breed
Terminate opinions
I dream away my freedom to please you
Let them talk so they feel important
They don't mean a thing, this is my own dream
Why do you have to put this on me?

(Where will we go?)
I'm a mess
(Where will we go?)
I'm a mess

Do what you want to do
Where the fuck you want to do it
Try hard to live your life
Live life the way that you want
Do what you want to do
Where the fuck you want to do it
Try hard to live your life
Live life the way that you want

Life's okay, so don't complain
You can't obtain, figure out how to maintain
It's a shame, make a change
So life will never ever find me down
Found out just what it's really all about
Never doubt, I wish I could get out
Why do you have to put this on me?

(Where will we go?)
I'm a mess
(Where will we go?)
I'm a mess

Do what you want to do
Where the fuck you want to do it
Try hard to live your life
Live life the way that you want
Do what you want to do
Where the fuck you want to do it
Try hard to live your life
Live life the way that you want

Find a way
Repeat

(Where will we go?)
I'm a mess
(Where will we go?)
I'm a mess

Do what you want to do
Where the fuck you want to do it
Try hard to live your life
Live life the way that you want
Do what you want to do
Where the fuck you want to do it




Try hard to live your life
Live life the way that you want

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Adema's song Do What You Want To Do are about breaking free from the constraints of society's expectations and living life on your own terms. The singer of the song feels trapped and controlled by the people around him, who are trying to dictate his every move and decision. He dreams of being free to pursue his own desires and live a life that is true to himself.


The first verse talks about the singer feeling like he has given up control over his own life. He has signed away his decisions and allowed others to tell him what to do and when to do it. He is even being forced to terminate his own opinions, which shows just how much power and control others have over him. He dreams of being free to pursue his own dreams and desires, but he feels like he can't make any real progress because others are always trying to hold him back.


The chorus is a rallying cry for everyone who feels trapped and controlled by society. It encourages listeners to do what they want to do and live life on their own terms. The repetition of the line "Do what you want to do" reinforces the message that it's important to follow your own path and not let others dictate your life. The repeated question "Where will we go?" is a reminder that we are all in control of our own lives and destinies, and that it's up to us to decide where we want to go and what we want to do.
