Why Did You Have to Go
Elephant Kind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How far you wanna go
How far you made me smile
You′ll end up where you came
The only thing I care
How far you wanna know me?
I heard once in a while
Some angels learn to fly
The way you let it stop
The only thing I care
How far you wanna know me?
Why did you have to go
You should've let me know
Last night I wrote a song for you
Why did you have to go
I heard once in a while
Some angels learn to fly
Just let those feathers drop
The way you let it stop
The only thing I care
How far you wanna know me?
Why did you have to go
You should′ve let me know
Last night I wrote a song for you
Why did you have to go
Why did you have to go
You should've let me know
Last night I wrote a song for you
Why did you have to go
To go, to go go go
Go Before you wanna know
Before you wanna go
The lyrics to Elephant Kind's song "Why Did You Have to Go" are written in the first person perspective of someone who has been left behind by a person they cared about deeply. The song is about wanting to know how much the person cared for them, and feeling hurt and confused by their sudden departure. The lyrics use angelic imagery to suggest that the person who left was someone special, and that their departure has caused a great deal of pain. The refrain repeats the question "Why did you have to go?" as an expression of the singer's desperation and longing for answers.
The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but they convey a deep sense of loss and heartbreak. The repetition of the line "How far you wanna know me?" implies that the singer is looking for a deeper connection with the person who left, and is trying to understand why they were not able to make things work. The reference to angels learning to fly suggests that the person who left was someone who had potential, but for some reason was not able to stay.
One interesting aspect of the song is the way that it combines a simple melody with evocative and emotional lyrics. The song is catchy and upbeat, but the lyrics contain a great deal of pain and sadness. Another interesting aspect is the use of imagery to convey complex emotions. The reference to angels flying and feathers dropping provides a vivid and memorable image that adds depth and meaning to the lyrics.
