Where to Go
Castlecomer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For I know where to go, turn away from here I know,
Give my regards to the woman, say goodbye to the dogs,
The saturated air at the window, far from here I will go,
For I know where to go, turn away from here I know,
For I know where to go, turn away from here I know,
Wandering around for the moment, turning over my stones,
Somewhere down the road less traveled, but I ache in my bones,
Sick of trying for the pieces, the wandering hands of the air,
The only friend in possession, far from here I have fared,
My heart is heavy and my shoes are worn,
I look to the sky to see my way home,
Sitting on my hands waiting for the train,
I'm not sure I'll be here again,
My heart is heavy and my shoes are worn,
I look to the sky to see my way home,
Sitting on my hands waiting for the train,
I'm not sure I'll be here again,
My heart is heavy and my shoes are worn,
I look to the sky to see my way home,
Sitting on my hands waiting for the train,
I'm not sure I'll be here again,
For I know where to go, turn away from here I know,
For I know where to go, turn away from here I know.
"Where to Go" by Castlecomer is a song about the desire to leave one's current situation and find a better path in life. The lyrics depict the singer's decision to turn away from their current environment, saying goodbye to the familiar and setting off on a journey to an unknown place. The repetition of the phrase "For I know where to go, turn away from here I know" emphasizes the conviction and determination of the singer to find a better life elsewhere.
The second verse portrays the singer wandering around, searching for direction and purpose. They feel tired of trying to piece together a meaningful life in their current situation, and express a sense of loneliness and isolation, seeing the "wandering hands of the air" as their only friend. The chorus repeats, highlighting the singer's strong desire to leave and find a new home.
The final verse describes the singer waiting at a train station, unsure whether they will return to their current situation or if they will stay away for good. The repetition of the final lines, "My heart is heavy and my shoes are worn, I look to the sky to see my way home, Sitting on my hands waiting for the train, I'm not sure I'll be here again," further emphasizes the internal struggle of the singer and their uncertain future.
Overall, the song speaks to the human desire for change, growth, and fulfillment, and the courage it takes to leave behind what is familiar and venture into the unknown in pursuit of it.
