Where We Go
Calyx & TeeBee feat. Doctor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's starting to fly
See how the hands go
Waving goodbye
And you know I get so forgetful
When I look in your eyes
Now she's walking backwards (now she's walking backwards)
And I'm stuck in the shadow (I'm stuck in the shadow)
Blocking the shade (shade)
And there ain't no way to sweep up
The mess that we've made
She gets dressed up like a pillow
So she's always in bed
Flowers for the sick and dead
She's on the go, way too fast and way too slow
She'll turn to stone at hospitals and funeral homes
And when the fog rises
Somebody sighs who is not in disguise anymore
There's nothing to keep you (nothing to keep you)
From falling in love
It starts at the bottom (it starts at the bottom)
And comes from above
Like pieces of a puzzle
Like a hand in a glove
She gets dressed up like a pillow
So she's always in bed
Flowers for the sick and dead
She's on the go, way too fast and way too slow
She'll turn and stop at hospitals and funeral homes
And when the tide rises
Somebody sinks and is gone in the blink of an eye
Somebody sinks and is gone in the blink of an eye
The lyrics of "Where We Go" by Calyx & TeeBee feat. Doctor explore themes of the passage of time, forgetfulness, and the unpredictable nature of love and life. The song opens with a reflection on how time seems to be slipping away and how the singer becomes forgetful when looking into someone's eyes. This could imply that the relationship they are in is consuming their thoughts and making it difficult to focus on the passing of time.
The chorus introduces a sense of longing and being stuck. The woman in the song is depicted as moving in reverse, walking backwards through a parade, while the singer feels trapped in her shadow. The line "there ain't no way to sweep up the mess that we've made" suggests that there may be unresolved issues or mistakes in their relationship that cannot be easily rectified. It could also imply a sense of helplessness in trying to fix what is broken.
The second verse describes the woman in the song as someone who constantly dresses up like a pillow, always in bed. This could symbolize her desire for comfort and escape, perhaps indicating that she is avoiding facing certain realities or responsibilities. The mention of flowers for the sick and dead adds a melancholic tone, suggesting that she may be struggling with loss or grief.
The last part of the song explores the transience of life. The line "when the fog rises, somebody sighs who is not in disguise anymore" hints at the idea of revealing one's true self or emotions when faced with uncertainty or confusion. The lyrics continue to emphasize the fleeting nature of existence, with the imagery of someone sinking and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Overall, "Where We Go" seems to invite reflection on the passing of time, the complexities of relationships, and the vulnerability of human existence.
