Where We Are
FI.SHE.S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From helping it along.
Just where did we go, just where did we go, just where did we go
My friends are moving on and fading out.
Beneath a sky of shame and clouds of ugly doubt you're all so perfect.
Complete and worth it.
Just where did we go wrong?
Where did we go wrong?
Where did we go wrong?
Where did we go wrong?
You and I were enemies in another life, in another life.
I don't want your sympathy.
Where did we go...
Where did we go wrong?
Where did we go wrong?
So let the truth be known and shout it to the world I always tell the truth so give it in return.
My life's a blunder.
My parents wonder.
Just where did we go wrong?
You're all so perfect it's just not worth it.
Just where did we, where did we go wrong?
Where did we go wrong?
Where did we go wrong?
Where did we go
The lyrics to FI.SHE.S's song WHERE WE ARE seem to describe the feeling of disappointment and confusion about the state of the world and how things have gone wrong. The singer seems to be struggling with the weight of the world's problems, trying to find solace in sleep but unable to escape the overwhelming noise. It's clear that the singer feels let down by their friends and society in general, who have become apathetic and dispassionate towards the chaos they see around them. The line "My friends are moving on and fading out" suggests that the singer feels abandoned by those who they once relied on. The idea that the world is "burning down" is a metaphor for the current state of affairs and the urgency of the situation.
The lyric "You and I were enemies in another life" is an interesting one, as it suggests that there is more to this situation than just the current circumstances. There is a sense of history and maybe even personal grievances that have contributed to the current state of disconnection. The singer seems to be calling out for honesty and transparency, urging others to tell the truth so they can receive the same in return. They admit their own mistakes and confusion, acknowledging that they too have contributed to the problem. Ultimately, the song is a plea for understanding and connection, a desire to understand where things went wrong and how they can be made right.
