Looking For
Carol C. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my life I never knew
Where the road I'd walk would lead me to
The only thing I know is true
Is that life will keep surprising you

And I keep looking for... Yeah, I keep looking for...

Things I've known I never knew
With some distance it comes back to you
The only thing I know to do
Is let life just lead and guide me through

And I keep looking for... Yeah, I keep looking for...




I just keep looking for... You
I just keep looking for you.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Carol C.'s song "Looking For" revolve around the theme of searching and seeking in life, highlighting the uncertainty and surprises that come along the journey. The opening lines, "All my life I never knew, Where the road I'd walk would lead me to," express a sense of not knowing what lies ahead and the unpredictability of life. Despite this uncertainty, the singer acknowledges that the only constant is that life will continue to surprise and unveil new experiences.


The chorus, "And I keep looking for... Yeah, I keep looking for...," emphasizes the ongoing search and exploration that the singer is engaged in. It suggests a persistent quest for something meaningful or fulfilling. The next verse delves deeper into this search, with the line "Things I've known I never knew, With some distance it comes back to you." This hints at the realization that sometimes, things we thought we knew or understood take on new meanings or become clearer with the passage of time and gaining perspective.


The lyrics also convey a sense of surrender and trust in the flow of life. The singer states, "The only thing I know to do is let life just lead and guide me through." It suggests a willingness to let go of control and allow life to unfold, rather than trying to force a specific outcome. The repetition of the phrase "I just keep looking for you" in the latter part of the song could be interpreted as searching for a sense of purpose, connection, or possibly even a person or a higher power to guide them.


Overall, "Looking For" encourages listeners to embrace the unknown, embrace the surprises and challenges that life presents, and approach it with an open heart and mind, always in search of deeper meaning and understanding.

All my life I never knew
Throughout my entire existence, I have lacked knowledge or awareness


Where the road I'd walk would lead me to
The destination or outcome of the path I chose was always uncertain


The only thing I know is true
The singular certainty I am aware of


Is that life will keep surprising you
Life has an inclination to astonish and confound individuals


And I keep looking for... Yeah, I keep looking for...
Persistently and continuously in search of something


Things I've known I never knew
Uncovering aspects or knowledge that were previously unfamiliar to me


With some distance it comes back to you
Upon gaining perspective or detachment, it resurfaces


The only thing I know to do
The sole course of action I am acquainted with


Is let life just lead and guide me through
To surrender control and allow life to direct and instruct me


I just keep looking for... You
I incessantly search for an individual


I just keep looking for you.
My pursuit revolves around seeking your presence.
