Where In The World
Fish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That was in motion that was oh so real.
The sparks that danced within our eyes, and in our hearts there was a fire,
That burned so brightly, we were so alive,
We were going home, we were going home, going home.
Our roles were written, we had our destiny, our lives were meant to be,
We were going home, we were going home, we were going home.
The promises, the tender touch, we made our love, we kissed with open eyes,
You took me by surprise; you hurt me so deep inside, how could you then decide,
That you're going home. You're going home.
And all this time I wonder why, you walked away, just what I'd done,
Before I knew it you had disappeared, without a word, you stole my dream,
You stole my dream, I'm going home,
If the angels flew from heaven, if God just walked away,
If we found out no one's listening to our never ending prayers,
If the sea just keeps on rising will it drown the funeral pyres,
Would it bring us back together, do you think we'd see the light?
Where in the world, where in the world, do we go from here?
Where in the world do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?
Where in the world do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?
If I could tear away the darkness, pull the stars out of the skies,
If I could just convince you that everything was right,
If you could only see our future and forgive me for the past,
Do you think that we could make it, do you think our love would last?
So where in the world, where in the world, do I go from here?
Do we go from here?
Where in the world, where in the world do I go from here?
Where in the world?
Fish's song "Where In The World" tells the story of a past love that has ended abruptly and left the singer feeling lost and unsure of where to go next. The song starts with a reminiscence of a time when the two lovers were happy and in love, with a dream that was "oh so real." However, things took a turn for the worse when the other person suddenly walked away, leaving the singer hurt and confused. The song is a heartfelt exploration of the emotions that come with the end of a relationship and the struggle to find meaning and direction afterward.
The lyrics are full of powerful metaphors that add to the emotional intensity of the song. The sparks in their eyes and hearts describe the intensity and passion of the love they shared, emphasising the feeling that they were meant to be together. The idea of going home represents finding a place of belonging, and the passion play echoes the idea of a grand, dramatic love story that is now incomplete.
The chorus is a plea for answers and direction, with the singer wondering where they should go next. There is a sense of despair and desperation as they question whether anything they do will make a difference. The idea of tearing away the darkness and pulling out the stars emphasises the feeling of powerlessness and uncertainty.
Overall, "Where In The World" is a powerful and moving song that explores the complexities of love and loss. It speaks to anyone who has experienced the pain of a relationship ending and the struggle to move forward.
Line by Line Meaning
This time last year I was in love, this time last year there was a dream,
That was in motion that was oh so real.
This time last year, I was experiencing a love so strong that there seemed to be no limits to what I could achieve in life; my dreams felt palpable, and like they were set in motion towards fruition.
The sparks that danced within our eyes, and in our hearts there was a fire,
That burned so brightly, we were so alive,
We were going home, we were going home, going home.
Our love was so intense that it lit up our eyes and hearts, giving us a sense of purpose and passion that was hard to ignore; we were sure that we were destined for greatness, and nothing could stop us.
We had our stage, the scene was set, the passion play,
Our roles were written, we had our destiny, our lives were meant to be,
We were going home, we were going home, we were going home.
Everything was perfectly aligned in our lives; we were in control of the narrative, and our future seemed set in stone. We were certain we were headed towards a place of immense joy and fulfillment.
The promises, the tender touch, we made our love, we kissed with open eyes,
You took me by surprise; you hurt me so deep inside, how could you then decide,
That you're going home. You're going home.
Despite the promises and affection we shared, my partner chose to leave me, taking me by surprise and inflicting a deep emotional wound that I struggled to comprehend. In the end, they left me all alone, without any explanation or chance to make it right.
And all this time I wonder why, you walked away, just what I'd done,
Before I knew it you had disappeared, without a word, you stole my dream,
You stole my dream, I'm going home,
Since my partner left, I've been wondering what I did wrong or what went awry in our relationship. Everything seemed perfect, but they still inexplicably disappeared, leaving me with a sense of betrayal and disbelief. They took away the life we were building together and left me lost and alone.
If the angels flew from heaven, if God just walked away,
If we found out no one's listening to our never ending prayers,
If the sea just keeps on rising will it drown the funeral pyres,
Would it bring us back together, do you think we'd see the light?
Where in the world, where in the world, do we go from here?
Even if the world were to fall apart or we were to face insurmountable challenges, would that be enough to reunite us? If we found out that our prayers were unheard and the world was indifferent to our pain, could there still be a chance for us to be together again? What even is the correct path forward for us from here?
Where in the world do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?
Where in the world do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?
Despite everything that has happened, I'm lost and uncertain of where to go from here, and how to move on from the heartache and betrayal. This repetition demonstrates my utter confusion and desperation.
If I could tear away the darkness, pull the stars out of the skies,
If I could just convince you that everything was right,
If you could only see our future and forgive me for the past,
Do you think that we could make it, do you think our love would last?
If it were possible for me to prove my love to my partner, on a grand scale and to the highest authority, do you think they would come back to me? Even if they could see our bright future together and forgive the mistakes of the past, would our love be enough to make it work?
So where in the world, where in the world, do I go from here?
Do we go from here?
Where in the world, where in the world do I go from here?
Where in the world?
In the face of this new reality, I question where both my partner and myself will go moving forward. Is there still hope for us, or is it time to move on and start a new chapter without each other? These questions leave me feeling lost and uncertain about my future.
