Walk
Carmen Cuesta-Loeb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Staring out my window
Wondering how I let you go
And knowing what I'm missing
I'm a queen without a kingdom without you
Without you
Thirsty for a change
With the strangest sense of solitude
So putting on my coat
I head on out the door to find you
To find you
'Til I find you
I will walk, walk, walk until I find you
I'll walk until I find you
And I'll walk, walk, walk until I find you
I'll walk until I find you
'Til I find you
I could spend my life
Sitting right here waiting
Hoping you'll come back to me
Or I could go around the world
And swim across the oceans to find you
'Til I find you
I'm walking in the streets
I'm walking on the highway
I'm walking on the bridges
I'll walk across the country
I'm walking in a dream
I'll walk into the sunset to find you
To find you
I will walk, walk, walk until I find you
I'll walk until I find you
And I'll walk, walk, walk until I find you
I'll walk until I find you
'Til I find you
Walk, walk, walk until I find you
Walk until I find you
The lyrics to Carmen Cuesta-Loeb's song Walk in describe a sense of longing and desperation to find someone. The singer of the song is staring out of her window, thinking about the person she let go and realizing what she's missing. She describes herself as a queen without a kingdom without that special someone. The song begins with a sense of melancholy, of being in a dark place, but there is the hint of hope for something better as the song progresses.
The singer decides to take action and goes out to find this person. She is walking everywhere, from the streets to the bridges and highways, all around the world if she has to. She describes her search as 'walking in a dream' and promises to keep walking until she finds this person because she cannot sit still and wait. The repetition of the phrase 'I will walk, walk, walk until I find you' accentuates the feeling of determination and persistence.
The song can be interpreted as a metaphor for the search for happiness or a sense of completeness, which can sometimes be found in another person. It can also be interpreted as a way to show that sometimes we need to take action to get what we want in life. The song holds a certain power within its lyrics, the power of hope and of searching for something better.

Here I am again
I find myself back in this same emotional state
Staring out my window
Gazing outside deeply lost in thought
Wondering how I let you go
Pondering how I made the mistake of losing you
And knowing what I'm missing
Aware of what I lost by letting you go
I'm a queen without a kingdom without you
I feel lost and incomplete without you in my life
Without you
I cannot handle life without your love and presence
Thirsty for a change
Desperate for something different or new
I'm going around in circles
Feeling like I can't escape the same old patterns
With the strangest sense of solitude
Despite being surrounded by others, I still feel alone without you
So putting on my coat
Getting ready to go outside and face the world
I head on out the door to find you
Leaving my comfort zone to search for you
To find you
My main focus is finding you
I could spend my life
It is possible for me to waste my life
Sitting right here waiting
Remaining in one place hoping for your return
Hoping you'll come back to me
Wishing for your return to my life
Or I could go around the world
Traveling across the globe to search for you
And swim across the oceans to find you
Going to great lengths to reunite with you
'Til I find you
I won't stop searching for you until we are back together
I'm walking in the streets
Strolling the city streets in search of you
I'm walking on the highway
Moving down the open road with determination
I'm walking on the bridges
Crossing bridges with the goal of reuniting with you
I'll walk across the country
Embarking on a daunting journey to reach you
I'm walking in a dream
It all feels like a surreal journey
I'll walk into the sunset to find you
Willing to chase the sun to bring us back together
Walk, walk, walk until I find you
I will pursue you through any distance until I succeed
Walk until I find you
I won't stop until I find you
