Where
Index Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something keeps the thought alive, the capacity to return to a former condition
a path of imagery straight back to the words you uttered
where will you direct me? to your exit?
out,
beyond the sphere of devotion
near sleep's ocean
what was once cherished has now perished
but something keeps the thought alive

[CHORUS:]
WHERE-I'm not there
ARE-You're not here
YOU-You're somewhere
NOW-Not in tears

Not in tears (x2)
You're not here

Do you remember the day you just ran away?
I started to wish but didn't know what to say
A different time, another place,
A familiar touch but a separate face
In the snow above air lane
Eyes closed
A silent voice but the emotion is exposed
Another moment in another day
Your only picture starts to fade away
Now we look back with regret
What did you see in me? A lack of hope and loyalty?
Mirrored lies, reflections lie shattered at your feet
Shattered in your mind

CHORUS

Not in tears
You're somewhere
Not in tears
You're somewhere

Use your muse (x2)

CHORUS (x2)
Where are you now?
Not in tears




Where are you now?
now?

Overall Meaning

The person seems to be struggling to understand why their significant other left them and is looking for answers. They express their confusion and hopelessness through vivid imagery, such as "near sleep's ocean" and "out, beyond the sphere of devotion." Despite the negativity of the situation, the person still holds onto hope, as "something keeps the thought alive."


The chorus of the song emphasizes the distance between the two people, both physically and emotionally. The repetition of "Where-I'm not there, Are-you're not here" highlights the separation and isolation that the person feels. However, the last line of the chorus, "Now-not in tears," suggests that the person has come to accept the situation and is no longer crying.


In the second verse, the person remembers a specific event - the day their partner left them. They express regret for not speaking up and expressing their feelings, wondering if things could have been different. They also question what their partner saw in them, suggesting that they may have been the cause of the breakup.


Overall, the lyrics of "Where" depict a person struggling to come to terms with a lost relationship, grappling with regret and confusion while also holding onto hope for the future.
