Where Are You?
Daddy DJ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Livin' in a fairytale
It was like nothing could come in our way
Like our story was too true to fail
But now I'm screaming, sobbing, weeping, waiting here for you
Always looking for your shadow in my nights
Asking eveybody why you run away from me
Where are you? In which arms, in which unknown atmosphere
Where are you? My Lady
Where are you? You're not here but I feel you everywhere
Where are you? Where are you? Lady
Daddy said : "Son, you will understand
When you'll be further in your life
That a love story can reach a dead end
And often leaving is better than fights"
But why are so much memories of you filling up my mind
When darkness' falling down on me
I fought the demons plaguing, I looked for understanding
And blur is the only thing left to see
Where are you? In which arms, in which unknown atmosphere
Where are you? My Lady
Where are you? You're not here but I feel you everywhere
Where are you? Where are you? Lady
The song Where Are You? by Daddy DJ portrays the emotions of a person who is having a difficult time coping with the loss of their lover. The lyrics begin by reminiscing about the past when the singer's relationship was perfect and like a fairytale where nothing could ever go wrong. That idyllic past and the fond memories now bring tears and pain to the singer who is left wondering where their lover has gone. The chorus, "Where are you? In which arms, in which unknown atmosphere," highlights the sense of longing, betrayal, and frustration that the singer is experiencing. The emotions are heightened by the fact that the singer cannot let go of the love they once shared.
The second verse begins with the singer being reminded by their father that sometimes it's better to walk away rather than fight. However, the memories of their lover are still fresh in their mind leaving them with a feeling of being lost and not knowing what to do. The singer fights their inner demons and tries to make sense of the situation but is still left with only a blur. The song is set to an upbeat tempo, which is in contrast to the melancholy lyrics of the song, adding an element of irony to the composition.

I have tried to battle the internal conflicts, personal fears and doubts constraining love, hoping to find understanding and clarity of thought.
And the blur is the only thing left to see
And yet the confusion and ambiguity are all that remains to be perceived.
