By the Way
Frumpy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only question didn't get an answer
Where we're coming from and where we're going to
On this dawn, leading us from somewhere?
Out of darkness we came, and land on mark these days
But to us
Guideless we let and fall just these ways
For me, religion isn't just a tale
Telling from past times
It tells about a meeting
Between us and astronauts from distant stars
You have to read between the lines!
Thousands of girls before loved angels
And want rescue ends
For if I look around, now all aware
Drop very same wond'ring face
By, by, Oh!
Now all alone, it will take me along from here
Before you see offset
One day, when we fly at the speed of light
We'll find a star and not the human race
You try to unblock the understanding
And keep slowly blight and may be even bright
In time, too long era to last
Will I want go to the sun?
Gather, became a house of fools
With flaming roof and based on sand below
Heaven, got sagged and saled on mourning
But prepared by the inner soul
But break down, but break soon brings good
By, by, by the way
We really could find the answer
Where we're coming from and where we're going to
On this good dawn, leading us from somewhere
Out of darkness we came, and land on mark these days
But to us
Guideless we let and fall just these ways
By these ways
"By The Way" by Frumpy is a song that reflects on the mystery of existence and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics ask the question of where we come from and where we are going, and wrestles with the idea of whether we are guided or lost in our direction. The singer contemplates the idea of religion and how it speaks of a possible meeting with extraterrestrial life from distant stars. The song speaks to the human desire for rescue and a longing to be saved, but also recognizes the futility of this desire. The singer acknowledges that humanity may eventually reach a point where it is no longer recognizable, and wonders if one day we will be able to travel at the speed of light and find a new home among the stars. The lyrics convey a sense of hopefulness mixed with existential uncertainty, capturing the complexity of the human experience.

By the way
Incidentally
The only question didn't get an answer
We have one unanswered question
Where we're coming from and where we're going to
Our origin and destination are unknown
On this dawn, leading us from somewhere?
Does the dawn bring us closer to our destination?
Out of darkness we came, and land on mark these days
We were born from the unknown and now live by the clock
But to us
Nevertheless, we
Guideless we let and fall just these ways
Are lost and follow a predetermined path
By these ways
Despite our directionless course
For me, religion isn't just a tale
Religion has personal significance
Telling from past times
Religion explains the past
It tells about a meeting
Religion speaks of an encounter
Between us and astronauts from distant stars
Between us and extraterrestrial beings
You have to read between the lines!
Interpretation is crucial
Thousands of girls before loved angels
Many have believed in angels
And want rescue ends
And seek salvation
For if I look around, now all aware
Awareness of reality is sobering
Drop very same wond'ring face
We share the same uncertain expression
Now all alone, it will take me along from here
We must travel alone from this point
Before you see offset
Before we encounter opposition
One day, when we fly at the speed of light
In the future, when we travel at breakneck speed
We'll find a star and not the human race
We'll find astronomical destinations
You try to unblock the understanding
Effort is required to comprehend
And keep slowly blight and may be even bright
And progress, though gradually
In time, too long era to last
In time, even lengthy periods may end
Will I want go to the sun?
Will I seek ultimate enlightenment?
Gather, became a house of fools
We gathered and became foolish
With flaming roof and based on sand below
Built on unstable foundations
Heaven, got sagged and saled on mourning
Heaven seems to have fallen and mourned
But prepared by the inner soul
But ready due to internal fortitude
But break down, but break soon brings good
Breaking down can lead to improvement
We really could find the answer
It's possible for us to discover the answer
On this good dawn, leading us from somewhere
This positive beginning may lead us out of uncertainty

This band was fantastic. Its a shame there wasnt more albums by them.
Gabino Morales
Sublime and majestic sound of the band and the powerful vocalization of Inga Rumpf!!!!!
Ludmila Kokk
Yeah, Frumpy was the one of very best German progressive group, there's no any doubt.
R.L. McLaughlin
Rumpf and Kravetz deserve to be remembered on the same level as Page/Plant, Jagger/Richards or Daltrey/Townshend. The only thing that really separates them from those groups, besides super-stardom, is that Frumpy's arrangements were exceedingly more complex (and impressive) than Zep, The Stones & The Who. They're quite possibly of the greatest, yet most overlooked groups that emerged during the 70's.

I Totally Agree!

Such an inspiring and heartfelt song! <3

This song should be a classic rock staple! This is the kind of epic that takes one on an adventure!
Mr Knister
Was da von 2:39 bis 7:08 abgeht ist göttlich , besser geht's nich . Mit . Gänsehaut allein lässt sich das nicht mehr ausdrücken. Zum Abheben!!!!! Musik von einem anderen Stern.

Frumpy-бесподобная группа!

1972 unbelievable. Those lyrics could have been the Theme Song for History Channels heartwarming series Ancient Aliens. Unlike Ancient Aliens the show that took all the fun out of Chariots of the Gods , this song is actually entertaining
