Where Do We Go From Here
FILTER (the amalgamut) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't bring me to my knees
Scraped up and bruised
From your fickleness I plead
Just let me feel some ease
From creatures of your greed
Just let me feel some ease from me
It makes me want to go away
Till you think it's over
I just?yeah yeah yeah
Where do we go from here
You know I'm not the only one
Where do we go from here
You know I'm not your only son
Where do we go from here
Stop dreaming 'bout the shiny gun
Where do we go from here
No, I'm not the only one
These broken dreams are screams to me
The difference I can't see
The way you look and talk to me
Your cross at me I freeze
The combination of lost control
The loss of soul, I wheeze
Just give some ease to me
I'm not so glad I met you
It makes me want to go away
Till you think it's over
I just?yeah yeah yeah
Where do we go from here
You know I'm not the guilty one
Where do we go from here
You know I'm not your only son
Where do we go from here
Stop dreaming 'bout the shiny gun
Where do we go from here
No, I'm not the only one
The lyrics of FILTER's "Where Do We Go From Here" are reflective of the conflicting emotions of a person who has been hurt by someone else's lies and fickle behavior. The main message of the song seems to be about finding a path forward despite the pain and confusion caused by the other person's actions. The opening lines convey the singer's frustration with the half-truths they have been told, but they refuse to be brought down by it. Throughout the song, there is an underlying feeling of wanting to break free from the toxic relationship and find some peace.
The chorus of "Where Do We Go From Here" touches on the themes of guilt, identity, and longing for clarity. The singer is questioning the future of their relationship and where it is going. They know that there are others involved in the situation, and they don't want to be the only one held responsible. The lines, "Stop dreaming 'bout the shiny gun/No, I'm not the only one," suggest that the person they are addressing has been fixated on something that is destructive and potentially dangerous. The overall effect of the song is one of desperation and seeking resolution.

These half-truths you're telling me
You're not being completely honest with me
Won't bring me to my knees
Your lies won't break me down
Scraped up and bruised
I'm hurt and damaged because of you
From your fickleness I plead
I'm begging you to stop being so inconsistent
Just let me feel some ease
Please give me some relief
From creatures of your greed
I'm tired of dealing with your selfishness
Just let me feel some ease from me
I need to find inner peace and calmness
I'm not so glad I met you
I regret ever crossing paths with you
It makes me want to go away
Being around you is unpleasant and makes me want to leave
Till you think it's over
I'll stay until this situation is resolved
Where do we go from here
What is the next step in our relationship?
You know I'm not the only one
I'm not the only person involved in this
Stop dreaming 'bout the shiny gun
Stop wishing for a quick and easy solution
No, I'm not the only one
I'm not the only person who needs answers
These broken dreams are screams to me
My shattered hopes feel like cries for help
The difference I can't see
I'm unable to distinguish between truth and lies
The way you look and talk to me
Your behavior towards me is confusing
Your cross at me I freeze
I feel paralyzed by your anger and disappointment
The combination of lost control
I feel helpless and powerless
The loss of soul, I wheeze
My spirit is crushed and I'm struggling to breathe
Just give some ease to me
I'm asking for some peace and comfort
You know I'm not the guilty one
I didn't cause all of these problems
Where do we go from here
We need to find a way to move forward
You know I'm not your only son
You have other people in your life who need you
No, I'm not the only one
I'm not the only person affected by this situation

Huge fan of Filter since the 90's, and still cranking great tunes today. This band deserves more recognition for sure.
@BeyondXS
Amen¡
@Nikki_Beerus_69
Indeed they do 😎🐲🤘💜
@PlushNVelvet
I’m 33 years old and I often have this song in my head. It makes me really nostalgic and missing the time before social media, when people weren’t obsessed in what others were doing, in stalking, in luring IG models lol. I can go on many days without even interacting physically with someone, it’s all about texts and liking each other pictures...
@raisavelasco5808
Totally! Let's go back to those times 😢
@alexearnshaw1468
Tell me about it I was only 8 years old when this came out I wish I was a teenager back then life seemed simple
@josenaranjo8025
I feel the same...
@thefurbeastunderyourbed5012
I'm turning 32 in a week and can totally relate to that.
@etherealfoxproductions
As someone who is now 38 years old, I completely concur with you.

Filter was such a unique band. They mixed so many genres into their music, Nu Metal(a little bit), alt Metal, post-grunge. Man, those were the times
