Directions
Ho-Hum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dotted lines
And no direction
I think it's five miles
'Til the road runs out
Do you trust me or do you question?
My new friends don't know me like you do
They always think I know where I'm going, unlike you
'Cause you know
Your sense of direction is better than mine
And you know
Every intersection past 95
You know
My pride can affect me from time to time
You know
That you should correct me when I'm out of line
If it's obvious
To only us
That I'm wrong
Maybe I think
That I'm happy
To get lost, if it's with you
My new friends don't know me like you do
They never see or notice when I'm roaming, but you do
'Cause you know
Your sense of direction is better than mine
And you know
Every intersection past 95
You know
My pride can affect me from time to time
You know
That you should correct me when I'm out of line
The song "Directions" by Ho-Hum talks about a person's struggle with direction and their reliance on their partner's guidance. The lyrics describe green lights, dotted lines, and no direction, which creates an atmosphere of uncertainty and confusion. The person asks their partner whether they trust them or question them, indicating that they may not always make the best choices when it comes to direction. The person's new friends also don't know them like their partner does, and they always assume that the person knows where they are going.
The chorus conveys the central theme of the song: the person's partner has a better sense of direction than they do. The partner knows every intersection past 95 and is more aware of the person's tendency to let their pride affect their judgment. The person acknowledges this and asks their partner to correct them when they are out of line.
The song ends on a hopeful note, as the person suggests that they are happy to get lost if it's with their partner. The lyrics suggest that the person values their partner's guidance and that getting lost can be an adventure as long as they are together.
Overall, "Directions" is a song about the importance of trust and communication in a relationship. It highlights the fact that nobody is perfect, and we all need someone to help us navigate the twists and turns of life.
