Same Direction
Hoobastank [www.multi-mp3.com] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Whenever I step outside, somebody claims to see the light
It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience
'Cause everyone thinks they're right, and nobody thinks that there just might
Be more than one road to our final destination

But I'm not ever going to know if i'm right or wrong
'Cause we're all going in the same direction
And I'm not sure which way to go because all along
We've been going in the same direction

I'm tired of playing games, of looking for someone else to blame
For all the holes in answers that are clearly showing
For something to fill the space, was all of the time I spent a waste
'Cause so many choices point the same way I was going

So why does there only have to be one correct philosophy?
I don't want to go and follow you just to end up like one of them
And why are you always telling me what you want me to believe?
I'd like to think that I can go my own way and meet you in the end





But I'm not ever going to know

Overall Meaning

if I'm right or wrong because everyone seems to be so convinced that their path is the only way forward. This has led to a sense of impatience among people, resulting in a lack of consideration for alternate paths that could potentially lead to the same destination. The singer is in a state of confusion, not sure which direction to take as all the choices seem to be pointing towards the same destination.


He is tired of playing games and looking for someone to blame for his confusion. He believes that the answers are already there, and it's only a matter of time before they present themselves. He feels that the time he has spent trying to find something to fill the void may have been wasted.


The singer questions the concept of a "correct philosophy" and wonders why there can't be multiple paths to the same destination. He doesn't want to blindly follow someone else's beliefs and end up like them. He wants to find his own way and hopes that he can meet others at the destination.


Overall, the song speaks to the notion of the journey being just as important as the destination. It's about taking the time to consider alternative paths and not just following the crowd because that's what everyone else is doing.

People likes "The Reason", but this is THE BEST SONG of this band.

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants

The reason sucks same direction is 100 times better and one of their best songs.

Lucky for me I had heard and liked crawling in the dark because if the reason was the first song of theirs i had heard I would of thought they were shit and wouldn't want to hear another.

People have no taste in music that this has under 5 mill in views and the reason has almost 260 mill and it sucks.

Let Justin Bieber or Timberlake sing that shit.

+Dan Nolan This topic is completely subjective

@ethanorawlinsino6635

+Dan Nolan well aren't you fucking edgy and cool

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants

Saying facts doesnt by default make me edgy and cool

@BetrayedAndAmused

Would HAVE thought, not would OF thought. Also, your opinion is exactly that: an opinion. Not a fact.

If your listening to Hoobastank in 2024 you're probably old enough to remember when MTV played music videos 🔥
