Where You Goin' Now
Damn Yankees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you close your eyes
Much easier to turn away
Than to take a look inside
So you're thinking it's over
Walking away
Let your little world crash and burn
Oh, what a price to pay
Didn't anybody tell you
It's not who's right or wrong?
Hold the line
Is this what's going on?
Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will
There's a crack in the mirror
There's a hole in the sun
Full moon in the midnight sky
And you feel like you wanna run
So you blow out the candle
And you turn off the light
Then you stumble into darkness
Do you believe that love is blind?
Didn't anybody tell you
It's never too late to try?
Hold the line
Before you say goodbye
Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will
Now I'm not talking 'bout what's good for me
And I'm not saying, how you ought to be
But if there is a message shining on through to you
Take a little piece of mind
And let your love light shine
Didn't anybody tell you
It's never too late to try?
Hold the line
Before you say goodbye
Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will
Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will
Gonna be there yes I will

Line by Line Meaning
There's a face in the mirror
You see your reflection in the mirror
And you close your eyes
You choose to ignore what you see in the mirror
Much easier to turn away
It's easier to avoid your problems than to confront them
Than to take a look inside
Than to examine your true feelings and motivations
So you're thinking it's over
You believe your situation has reached its end
Walking away
You choose to leave instead of staying and trying to fix things
Let your little world crash and burn
You allow everything you built to fall apart and end in ruin
Oh, what a price to pay
You will suffer the consequences of your actions
Didn't anybody tell you
Has nobody informed you
It's not who's right or wrong?
It's not about winning or losing an argument
Hold the line
Stay committed and don't give up
Is this what's going on?
Is this really the situation you are in?
Where you going now?
Where are you headed?
When your world's turned inside out
When your life is in chaos and turmoil
Isn't love what it's all about?
Isn't love the most important thing in life?
When you get to the top of the hill
When you reach your ultimate goal
Gonna be there yes I will
I will be there to support and love you
There's a crack in the mirror
The mirror is damaged
There's a hole in the sun
There is a flaw in something that is normally perfect
Full moon in the midnight sky
The moon is visible despite the darkness
And you feel like you wanna run
You have the urge to escape your problems
So you blow out the candle
You make things even darker by extinguishing the light
And you turn off the light
You make things completely dark
Then you stumble into darkness
You lose your way into the unknown
Do you believe that love is blind?
Do you think love can make you overlook flaws or red flags?
It's never too late to try?
You can always attempt to fix things
Before you say goodbye
Before you give up completely
Now I'm not talking 'bout what's good for me
I'm not being selfish
And I'm not saying, how you ought to be
I'm not trying to tell you what to do
But if there is a message shining on through to you
If there is something you can take away from this
Take a little piece of mind
Take some peace of mind
And let your love light shine
And show your love and care for others

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will
Gonna be there yes I will

This Damn Yankees song is a top 5 power ballad from the 80's. Please bring back the music for all 80's kids. It's the best!
