Go
Andy Hunterº Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
30 seconds 'till we smash into the ground
The passengers have lost their smiles
Soon their bodies will be wreckage spread for miles
I'm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I know that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish I'd took the train
There's not a chance of going down, but then we just might
So this is it, this is goodbye
And I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I know that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish I'd took the train
Everybody has their day and I guess I'm just the same
But I'm going nowhere
Everybody has their day, never thought it would be this way
And I really don't care
I'm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I know that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish I'd took the train
We're going down, we're out of sky
It sure helps if you can see the funny side
So this is over and out, this is goodbye
And I'm feeling like I'm gonna lose my mind
I try to reach her, but she's not there
But back home I hope she knows how much I care
I ease the seat back and start to pray
To the same God that puts bombs in cargo bays
The lyrics of Andy Hunter's song Go are about a person who is on a plane that is about to crash. The first verse details the impending crash, with the passengers losing their smiles and soon becoming scattered wreckage. Despite the imminent danger, the person reflects on their life and has no regrets except for not taking the train. In the second verse, the person is on another flight and realizes that there is always a chance of going down, causing them to feel like they're losing their mind. They approach the situation with humor, but also express their feelings towards someone they care about who is not with them. The final line mentions praying to God, who is paradoxically responsible for both the safety and danger of air travel.
The song's lyrics touch on the fragility of life and the realization that one's fate can be out of their control. The phrase "I'm in the shit, knee-deep in it" is an expression that refers to being in a difficult situation that is difficult to escape. The line "everybody has their day" is a reference to the saying "everybody has their time in the sun," which means that everyone will have their moment of success or glory.

I am turning to a higher power for comfort and guidance
To the same God that puts bombs in cargo bays
Despite the tragedy that we are facing, I still have faith in the same God that allows terrible things to happen
