This Place We Go
Future Generations Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That was yesterday
Come back for me today
But I set you on your way
There's a place where we go
And I know
And I know
You told me to run away
But I sit here anyway
The expression on my face is gone away
This place we go
This place we go
This place we go
This place we go
The lyrics of "This Place We Go" seems to depict the singer's inner struggles of letting go and moving on from a past relationship. The first line "So you will be afraid" implies that the person the singer is addressing is fearful of something, possibly related to the past relationship. However, the singer believes that this fear belongs only to the past and urges them to come back and start anew, as in "That was yesterday, come back for me, today".
Despite this plea, the singer admits to having let go of this person, declaring "I set you on your way". The next lines, "There's a place where we go, and I know, and I know" could be interpreted as a reference to an idealized future or destination, which they may have once shared with their partner.
Towards the end of the song, the singer confesses that despite being told to "run away", they remain where they are, possibly hoping for a reconciliation or simply unable to let go fully. The repetition of the phrase "this place we go" could represent a shared history or a desire for a shared future that has yet to come to fruition. Overall, the song conveys a sense of bittersweet longing and acceptance of the inevitability of change and letting go.

So you will be afraid
You might feel scared
That was yesterday
That was in the past
Come back for me today
Return to me now
But I set you on your way
I helped you leave
There's a place where we go
There's a destination we head towards
And I know
And I am aware
You told me to run away
You instructed me to flee
But I sit here anyway
But I choose to stay put
The expression on my face is gone away
I am emotionless
This place we go
The destination we are headed towards
This place we go
The destination we are headed towards
This place we go
The destination we are headed towards
