Where We Go
Elijah & the Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where do we go when the party's over
Not ready for the night to end
The dawn is getting closer
And I am my only friend
The weather's getting colder
I dread when the summer ends
And now that I'm getting older
I'm canceling all of my plans
Where do we go when the party's over
Not ready for the night to end




The dawn is getting closer
And I am my only friend

Overall Meaning

The lyrics "Where do we go when the party's over, not ready for the night to end" convey a sense of reluctance to leave the vibrant energy and excitement of a gathering. The singer is not emotionally prepared for the festivities to come to a close, as they may have been enjoying the company of others and the carefree atmosphere. The party serves as a temporary escape from reality, and the singer is hesitant to return to their normal routine.


As the dawn approaches and the night draws to a close, the singer reflects on their solitude with the line "and I am my only friend." This introspective moment suggests feelings of loneliness or detachment from others, perhaps highlighting a sense of isolation or self-reliance. The mention of the weather getting colder symbolizes a shift in atmosphere from the warmth and vibrancy of summer to a more somber and introspective mood. This change in weather parallels the emotional transition the singer is experiencing as they grapple with their own thoughts and emotions.


The line "now that I'm getting older, I'm canceling all of my plans" signals a shift in priorities and a desire for introspection and self-reflection. Growing older often brings about a reevaluation of one's choices and lifestyle, leading to a desire for more meaningful experiences. The cancellation of plans may indicate a need for solitude and introspection, as the singer seeks to understand themselves better and make sense of their emotions and desires.


Overall, the repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the theme of reluctance to leave a moment of joy and connection, alongside a deeper exploration of loneliness, self-reflection, and the passage of time. The lyrics capture the conflicting emotions of wanting to prolong a fleeting moment of happiness while also confronting the inevitability of change and the need for self-discovery and growth. The song portrays a poignant and relatable narrative of grappling with the complexities of human emotions and the transient nature of fleeting moments of joy.


Line by Line Meaning

Where do we go when the party's over
Wondering about our destination once the celebration has come to an end


Not ready for the night to end
Unwilling for the evening to conclude


The dawn is getting closer
The morning is approaching


And I am my only friend
Feeling isolated with oneself


The weather's getting colder
Temperature dropping as seasons change


I dread when the summer ends
Anxious about the arrival of autumn


And now that I'm getting older
Realizing the process of aging


I'm canceling all of my plans
Deciding to forego scheduled activities


Where do we go when the party's over
Seeking direction once the party has concluded


Not ready for the night to end
Unwilling for the evening to come to a close


The dawn is getting closer
Approach of a new day


And I am my only friend
Feeling alone

You're hands now feel empty
As you're starring at the clock
Missing all the verbs and nouns
While holding your own glock
Missing all the wisdom
Missing all the lies
Confused on everywhere to stand
Your breath becomes a sigh
It's days like this that rain
Upon the old lake dock
And wash away the memories buried deep down in fog
A fire in my heart
And a battle in my head
Don't think twice you've got one chance
So walk with me instead
We'll go down, down, down to the old side of town
And shake our fists at the sea
And say goodbye to the old lives we lived
And drink to misery
I fell to the end, never to be seen
Caught in the shadows that held me in between
Missing all the wisdom
Missing all the lies
Confused on everywhere to stand
Your breath becomes a sigh
So walk with yourself
Figure it all out
And keep in mind we're all just humans trying to figure out
The fire in our hearts
And the battle in our heads
Fighting's just a waste of time
So walk with me instead
We'll go down, down, down to the old side of town
And shake our fists at the sea
And say goodbye to the old lives we lived
And drink to misery
We'll go down, down, down to the old side of town
And shake our fists at the sea
And say goodbye to the old lives we lived
And drink to misery
We'll go down, down, down to the old side of town
And shake our fists at the sea
And say goodbye to the old lives we lived
And drink to misery
