Where'd You Go
Fort Minor (Productos KeNJi MaX) Lyrics


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 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 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,
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?"

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 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

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

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.

My friend just disappeared and everyone was wondering where he went for a year. And so 1 year later I'm at an airport ready to go to my grandparents house for the summer i get in my seat i look to see who ill be with for the next 6 hours and i see him. He looked at me like NOTHING happened. When i asked him where he went. He said: "I lost my friend." Then i remembered his dog was his LIFE...his dog had ran away and he found it 2 states away with a girl caring for it till it died. Needles to say. He married that woman (not because if the dog) and he now has 2 kids, and a dog. Every thursday...he listens to this song...the day Shoddy died. If you read this whole thing i praise you! Just thought i should share this
