Where'd You Go?
Fort Minor/Skylar Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems like it's been forever
That you've been gone
She said, "Some days, I feel like shit
Some days
I wanna quit and just be normal for a bit"
I don't understand why you haveTo always be gone i get along
But the trips always feel so long
And I find myself trying to stay by the phone
'Cause your voice always helps me
To not feel so alone
But I feel like an idiot
Working my day around the call
But when I pick up, I don't have much to say
So, I want you to know
It's a little fucked up
That I'm stuck here waiting
At times debating
Telling you that I've had it
With you and your career
Me and the rest of the family here, singing
"Where'd you go?"
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever
That you've been gone
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever
That you've been gone please come back home
Come back home, you knowThe place where you used to live
Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs
Used to have a little party every
Halloween with candy by the pile but now
You only stop by every once in a while
Shit, I find myself just filling my time
With anything to keep the thought
Of you from my mind i'm doing fine
And I’m planning to keep it that way
You can call me if you find
That you have something to say
And I'll tell you
I want you to know it's a little fucked up
That I'm stuck here waiting
At times debating
Telling you that I've had it
With you and your career
Me and the rest of the family here, singing
"Where'd you go?"
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever
That you've been gone
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever
That you've been gone please come back home
I want you to know it's a little fucked up
That I'm stuck here waiting
No longer debating
Tired of sitting and hating
And making these excuses
For why you're not around
And feeling so useless
It seems one thing has been true all along
You don't really know what you
Got 'til it's gone
I guess I've had it with you and your career
When you come back
I won't be here and you can sing it
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever
That you've been gone
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever
That you've been gone please come back home
Please come back home please come back home
Please come back home please come back home
The lyrics of "Where'd You Go" by Fort Minor featuring Skylar Grey delve into themes of longing, loneliness, and the strain of being separated from a loved one due to the demands of a career. The song is sung from the perspective of a person left behind as their partner or family member is frequently away, likely pursuing their dreams and responsibilities. The repeated question of "Where'd you go?" conveys the deep sense of loss and yearning for the absent person.
The lyrics capture the emotional toll of missing someone deeply, as the singer expresses how it feels like forever since the person they care about has been gone. The lines highlight the struggle of coping with the absence and finding ways to fill the void left by the person's departure. The emotional turmoil is palpable as the singer oscillates between moments of feeling lonely, frustrated, and conflicted about their emotions.
The song further delves into the inner turmoil of the singer, who grapples with conflicting emotions regarding the absence of their loved one. There's a sense of resignation and acceptance mixed with frustration and a desire for the absent person to understand the impact of their distance. The singer conveys the difficulty of pretending everything is okay while also harboring feelings of resentment and exhaustion from waiting.
In the final verses, there is a sense of resignation and realization that perhaps the relationship or familial bond has been strained to a breaking point. The singer expresses a readiness to move on from the waiting and the excuses, indicating a growing sense of self-worth and a recognition of the toll the absence has taken. The plea for the absent person to come back home is rooted in a deep yearning for connection and a desire to mend the emotional distance that has grown over time.

John 16:7 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. GOD is spirit being in 3 and so HE created man - who is also created in 3 (SPIRIT and SOUL 1st and BODY last). 3 parts = ONE GOD. Humans: one human = 3 parts. Pure logic and all cleared out. The BIBLE is clear and true, yet still many amongst us ask these 2 questions: IS EARTH TRULY FLAT? GOD IN 3? - WHAT THAT MEANS?
GOD created a BODY (FLESHLY BODY) to HIMSELF to come among us as one of us to: TO REDEEM US AND SET AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO LIVE.
About A - C : as we know satan is a copier - therefore he also creates a body to himself, for he cannot create as GOD can, therefore his /satan`s/ body is A.I. But what matters is: WHO LIVES INSIDE THAT BODY WE TALK ABOUT: JESUS CHRIST = THE BODY OF GOD AND A.C = THE BODY OF SATAN. Again, LOGIC.
Were is the COMFORETER? whom should come and help out? Why some of you still haven`t received HIM? - that you still ask questions that BIBLE has clearly answered.
father, son, and husband. - these = titles that we can carrie as we live out our lives on earth.
SPIRIT + SOUL + BODY = COMPLETE MAN AKA LIVING SOUL. (HUMAN = A CONSCIOUS SPIRIT). In DEATH we lose our carnal body, we do not lose soul nor spirit. We are SPIRIT BEINGS also, created before received earthly bodies. (that`s why there`s saying: LIFE IS A GIFT) - we cant give a gift to someone who dose not exist. To receive a gift, one must exist.
We were created before our bodies, in spirit? - yes: Jeremiah 1:5 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
James 2:26 | View whole chapter | See verse in context For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. 1 Corinthians 15:44 | View whole chapter | See verse in context It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

Philippians 3:21 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
2 Corinthians 12:2 | View whole chapter | See verse in context I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
Matthew 10:28 | View whole chapter | See verse in context And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 1 John 4:2 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: Romans 8:9 | View whole chapter | See verse in context But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 1 Corinthians 2:12 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Romans 8:16 | View whole chapter | See verse in context The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Ecclesiastes 12:7 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Why are we denying the 3 parts of GOD and humans if all 3 parts are real? All that matters is SPIRIT AND SPIRITS.
And can`t any of you read? Clearly a SPIRIT IN 3 , CREATED SPIRITS IN 3s. (GOD CREATED HUMANS).

Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
She said, "Some days, I feel like shit
Some days, I wanna quit and just be normal for a bit"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone
I get along, but the trips always feel so long
And I find myself tryna stay by the phone
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone
But I feel like an idiot, working my day around a call
That when I pick up, I don't have much to say, so
I want you to know it's a little fucked up
That I'm stuck here waiting, at times debating
Telling you that I've had it with you and your career
Me and the rest of the family here, singing
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Please come back home
You know that place where you used to live?
Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile
But now, you only stop by every once in a while
Shit, I find myself just filling my time
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind
I'm doing fine, and I'm planning to keep it that way

I am Japanese. This song is a favorite song of my father who died a year ago. This song was always playing in his father's car. I fell in love with this song. Recently, I learned the Japanese translation of this song for the first time. I was so moved that I remembered my father and cried. I hope my father rests in peace.
@drayce707
Rest in peace to your father this sing is all about hapiness that once was and still to be found. Thank you for sharing may you know no limit to your hapiness and success
