How Far I'll Go
Alessia Cara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know, where I can not go
See the line where the sky meets the sea? it calls me
And no one knows how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know
If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know everybody on this island
Seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know everybody on this island
Has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?
See the light as it shines on the sea, it's blinding
But no one knows how deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
And let me know what's beyond that line
Will I cross that line?
See the line where the sky meets the sea, it calls me
And no one knows how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know how far I'll go
Alessia Cara's song How Far I'll Go is a song about self-discovery and setting out on a journey of personal growth. In the first verse, the singer describes how she has always been drawn to the ocean, but doesn't know why. She wishes she could be the "perfect daughter," but can't help being drawn back to the water. This could represent her desire to fit in and conform to society's expectations, while also feeling a pull towards something deeper and more personal.
The chorus of the song is a metaphor for embarking on a journey, with "the line where the sky meets the sea" representing the unknown. The singer is tempted by the mystery and adventure of what lies beyond the horizon, but also acknowledges the risks and uncertainties of leaving behind what is familiar.
In the second verse, the singer describes the pressure she feels to conform to the expectations of society and those around her. Despite this, she feels a "voice inside" that tells her to follow a different path. She sees the "light as it shines on the sea" and feels a strong desire to explore and discover what is beyond the horizon. Ultimately, the song is about the conflict between conformity and self-discovery, and the importance of following one's own path in life.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been staring at the edge of the water
I have been standing near the water, lost in thought
Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I have been here for a long time and I still do not understand why I am drawn to the water
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
I desire to be ideal and meet everyone's expectations
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try
Despite my efforts to resist, I always return to the water's edge
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every choice I make, every path I follow
Every path I make, every road leads back
Every new path I find, leads me back to where I started
To the place I know, where I can not go
To the place I am familiar with, but am not allowed to visit
Though I long to be
Even though I have a strong desire
See the line where the sky meets the sea? it calls me
There is a place in the horizon where the sky and water meet, which is attracting me
And no one knows how far it goes
Nobody can say how far this attraction will lead me
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
If the wind pushes my boat forward as I sail on the sea
One day I'll know
Someday I will find out
If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll go
If I decide to take the risk, there is no way of knowing how far I will travel
I know everybody on this island
I am familiar with all the people on this island
Seems so happy on this island
Everyone on this island appears to be content and satisfied
Everything is by design
The way of life on this island is planned and structured
Has a role on this island
Each person has a purpose and a defined place in the societal structure
So maybe I can roll with mine
Perhaps I should embrace my role and fit in
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I have the ability to take charge and strengthen the community around me
I'll be satisfied if I play along
I will feel content if I follow the social norms and expectations
But the voice inside sings a different song
However, my inner voice tells me that this is not the right path for me
What is wrong with me?
I question myself, wondering why I am not content with the status quo
See the light as it shines on the sea, it's blinding
The light reflecting on the water is extremely bright and captivating
But no one knows how deep it goes
Nobody knows the extent of the mystery and the lure of the sea
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
It feels as though the sea is calling out my name, begging me to come closer
And let me know what's beyond that line
I am curious to find out what lies beyond the horizon
Will I cross that line?
Will I take the risk to explore what is unknown to me?
And no one knows how far it goes
Once again, it is impossible to predict how far this adventure will lead me
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
If the wind helps me move forward as I travel on the water
One day I'll know how far I'll go
Eventually, I will find out how much I am capable of exploring and achieving

The truthful lyrics of the gaga song: born this way:
There is a problem about who we are, we live with sinful nature.
We all are called to REPENTANCE, to change our minds and our hearts.
We all are called back HOME, but PRIDE keeps us far.
So lets humble ourselves before GOD/CHRIST and lets answer to the calling.
We have sinned and felled short in the glory of GOD and without repenting we are at the wrong path.
How can we ask for love if there is none in us, we abuse ourselves and others daily.
How can we say we`re good if only do is sin, we telling lies, stealing lives, and destroying the light.
Yea we were born a sinner, lifelong sinful nature, but now we all are called to have new birth.
Don`t stay a sinner, become a new creature in Christ who promise to give you a warm heart.
Yea we were born sinners, but in Christ can we be brand new, without a sin of any kind.
Be you black or white, small or great, GOD through Christ calls all home.
Are we gonna answer or is our hearts grown cold? Our eyes and ears have we closed?
Are we all lost cases or is there still a chance that some of us shall be saved?
If we could change our lives, would we took the chance?
Or are we quick to say: “no, thanks, im good”?
