Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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, workin' 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 waitin', at times debatin'
Tellin' 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 know, the 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 fillin' my time
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind
I'm doin' fine, and I'm plannin' to keep it that way
You can call me if you find that you have somethin' to say

And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin'
Tellin' 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 waitin', no longer debatin'
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' 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

When you made me that initial batch of songs




I was like, that's the shit right there

Overall Meaning

"Where'd You Go" is a emotional song by Fort Minor featuring Holly Brook & Jonah Sonz Matranga.The lyrics of the song are about the feeling of absence of a loved one particularly a partner who is away from home sweet home travelling or working. This song is a message to a person who has been gone for a long period of time. Despite being supported and surrounded by family and friends, the one left at home feels very alone and longs for their partner's return. They express frustration with the fact that sometimes they are left waiting for a phone call and working their day around it, but when the call comes they do not have much to say. The lyrics also speak of how the memories of the places shared with the missing person come back to mind and this person fills their time with activities to keep the mind occupied. The chorus 'Where'd you go? I miss you so. Seems like it's been forever, that you've been gone. Please come back home' shows the strong emotions of the loved one left at home.


In general, the song feels like a cry for attention from the absentee. The songwriters try to show that the hurt of the individual left behind is not just physical, but more emotional and express it through gentle lyrics, and light instrumentation. It's a reminder that sometimes the best moments of our lives are the simplest, and that human connection is something that we should never take for granted. Overall, this song portrays feelings of helplessness due to separation from a loved one, the loneliness felt while waiting for their return and the anticipation of their reunion which makes it a beautifully sad song.

Look around, our country's gone to shit
Some days i wanna quit
Or just a be a normie for a bit
And it breaks my heart how you were once so strong
But now it feels like your spirit's entirely gone
And i find myself watching old clips from the golden years
On Youtube trying to hold back tears
A man fueled by a burning love for his volk
Could see the people's eyes beaming with adoration and hope
And i want you to know that i will never give up
Although i'm stuck here waiting
Outnumbered by strangers
Hoping that among the ruins you'll reappear
Me and the rest who are still loyal here
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 the place where we used to live
Used to hike with grandma and the kids
Used to see the whole village at the football field on every sunday
Or dance at the may tree, from young to old age
Today we're atomized, alienated
And all sense of community and trust has faded
Met with hate and ridicule when i try galvanizing them
And it hurts cause i care so much, i would die for them
But i want you to know, i will never give up
Although i'm stuck here waiting, outnumbered by strangers
Hoping that among the ruins you'll reappear
Me and the rest who are still loyal here
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, i will never give up
Although i'm stuck here waiting, outnumbered by strangers
Brought to erase every trace we existed
Which they made us believe we deserve, so don't resist it
But long as i live i will feed the spark
That might rekindle the fire in my people's heart
And maybe one day from the ruins you'll reappear
And join the rest of us here, saying
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...

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.
Ecclesiastes 3:20 | View whole chapter | See verse in context All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
2 Corinthians 12:3 | View whole chapter | See verse in context And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

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 when I feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' 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 waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' 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 the place where you used to live,
Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Hallowe'en with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once in a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
Anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find you have somethin' to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

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 waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For while 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'll can sing it...
