Way To Go
Empire of the Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you ready for
A revolution to show the way
Seven whole weeks until the day
Because heartbreak's coming to bend us the wrong way
Plays us, memory will change it into old things
This is where we get carried away enough to start again
While hearts beat
It's nothing like before
Dreaming is the home of the brave
Future is the healing of pain
Because heartbreak's coming to bend us the wrong way
Plays us, memory will change it into old things
Doesn't matter what's tripping you out, there's ways to go
This is where we get carried away enough to start again
Doesn't matter what's tripping you out, there's ways to go
This is where we get carried away enough to start again
Like a cannonball shot across the floor
We have found a way through the darkest hour
Like a cannonball shot across the floor
We have little time for worry
Doesn't matter what's tripping you out, there's ways to go
This is where we get carried away enough to start again
Doesn't matter what's tripping you out, there's ways to go
This is where we get carried away enough to start again
Doesn't matter what's tripping you out, there's ways to go
This is where we get carried away enough to start again

The chorus repeats the idea that heartbreak is coming to bend us the wrong way, but there are ways to go, indicating that even though struggles are inevitable, there are ways to move forward. The band emphasizes the importance of letting go of the past and starting anew. They assert that no matter what's tripping listeners out, there are ways to go and get carried away enough to start again.
The second chorus focuses on the healing power of the future, stating that it is the healing of pain. The third verse uses the metaphor of a "cannonball shot across the floor" to express the sense of urgency and power that comes with overcoming challenges. Finally, the chorus repeats, driving home the message that no matter what obstacles come our way, there are always ways to go and start again.
