Since its inception, DHARMATA has quickly created a large, loyal, and growing fan base in the Florida music scene, garnering buzz for their ability to combine polished song craftsmanship with captivating high-energy live performances.
A dynamic sound captures the collective best of each member's influences, a wide-ranging spectrum that includes everything from Pantera to Jeff Buckley. In their brief existence, DHARMATA has already shared stages with artists such as 10 Years, Skindred, Sick Puppies, and Nonpoint, and has been invited to participate in large music festivals such as SunFest, MoonFest, Crue Fest, and Buzz Bake Sale.
In 2007, DHARMATA's very first song and recording, "The Fall," had an immediate impact at radio, with airplay on West Palm Beach's influential rock station, WPBZ 103.1 The Buzz. "The Fall," an apologetic homage to vocalist Jay Slim's previous band, nationally-recognized rock outfit Presence, showcases the emotionally palpable lyrics and soaring, powerful melodic hooks that have been seducing South Florida audiences.
In 2009, popular British ragga-metal rockers Skindred stumbled across a live DHARMATA performance and asked DHARMATA to join them on a tour of the Midwestern United States. DHARMATA’s first tour outside of Florida proved fruitful, as they fetched massive merchandise sales and a brand new ravenous fan base in select Midwest cities. At the request of Madison, Wisconsin’s WJJO, DHARMATA performed live on-air to immediate rave reviews. In December 2009, Benji Webbe, lead vocalist of Skindred, spoke highly of DHARMATA in a live South Florida radio broadcast, calling the band “soon-to-be international rock stars.”
DHARMATA completed sessions at Tony Bongiovi's Power Station Studios with producers Rob Roy and Joe Butera in late 2009. The single, “The Awakening,” garnered airplay on WPBZ 103.1 The Buzz as well as WHDR 93.1 (93 Rock) in Miami.
DHARMATA is currently finishing up their debut full length album with producer Matt LaPlant and Benji Webbe (Skindred) at Beiler Bros. Studios in Pompano Beach, Florida. In November 2011, the first single off the new album, “Do It Again,” was picked up as an official add at WPBZ 103.1 The Buzz with 14+ weekly spins during mid-day and evenings. In December 2011, due to a swell of positive feedback from listeners, WPBZ asked DHARMATA to headline a stage at the Buzz Bake Sale and was one of the most talked-about artists at the event, after playing to an audience of thousands.
DHARMATA will release their debut album in early 2012, followed by relentless touring in support.
Where Do We Go
Dharmata Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling like
There's ten toes across the line
Shove me forward
Set the fire
Cursed with want
Immersed in desire
Archaic is the man
Where do we go from here
The choice we make
Is it love or fear
Where do we go from here
The best of us has disappeared
Feels so right
Feeling like
I could fall to the knees of the siren
A moment's reward
A lifetime of why
Cursed with want
Immersed in desire
Archaic is the man
When the cold wind blows
Where do we go from here
The choice we make
Is it love or fear
Where do we go from here
The best of us has disappeared, yeah.
Lying here awake
I can't be alone
Lying here awake
Please take me home
Where do we go from here
Where do we go
Where do we go from here
Wehere do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here
The best of us has disappeared
Where do we go from here
The choice we make
Is it love or fear
Where do we go from here
The best of us has disappeared
Where do we go...
Where do we go from here
The lyrics of Dharmata's song "Where Do We Go" seem to contemplate the uncertain and existential aspects of life. The opening lines "feeling ripe, feeling like/there's ten toes across the line" suggest a sense of readiness and restlessness, as if the singer is in a state of limbo, waiting for something to happen or change. This feeling is further emphasized with the lines "where do we go from here/the choice we make/is it love or fear," which question the path we choose in life and whether we make those choices based on love or fear.
The theme of desire and wanting is also present in the lyrics, with "cursed with want/immersed in desire." This creates a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the singer is trying to find something they desperately need. The reference to an "archaic man" suggests that these feelings are not new, but have existed for a long time.
The chorus repeats several times, asking the same questions, which reflects the uncertainty and the search for answers that we all feel at some point in our lives. The final two lines "where do we go from here/the best of us has disappeared" adds a poignant element, suggesting that even when we find answers, the world can be a place where our best selves can be lost.
Overall, the lyrics of "Where Do We Go" are introspective and contemplative, inviting the listener to reflect on the choices they make in life and the journey that awaits them.

Feeling ripe
Feeling ready and mature
Feeling like
Feeling as if something is about to happen
There's ten toes across the line
Being at the edge, teetering on the brink
Shove me forward
Pushing oneself towards a goal, despite fear or uncertainty
Set the fire
Igniting passion and energy
Cursed with want
Feeling trapped by desire and wanting more
Immersed in desire
Being completely consumed by a strong feeling or emotion
Archaic is the man
Traditional gender roles and expectations are outdated and irrelevant
When the cold wind blows
During tough times or when obstacles arise
Where do we go from here
What direction should we take in life?
The choice we make
Our decisions will determine our future
Is it love or fear
We must choose between following our heart or succumbing to fear
The best of us has disappeared
We've lost some of the best parts of ourselves along the way
Feels so right
There's a sense of certainty and comfort
I could fall to the knees of the siren
Being captivated by something irresistible, even if it's not good for oneself
A moment's reward
Getting short-term pleasure or satisfaction
A lifetime of why
Being plagued by questions and doubts for a long time
Lying here awake
Unable to sleep due to inner turmoil
I can't be alone
Needing someone else to help and support us
Please take me home
Yearning for a place of safety and comfort
Where do we go...
Repeating the same question over and over, searching for answers
