We're Going Wrong
Jack Bruce and the Cuicoland Express Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to realize.
I found out today we're going wrong,
We're going wrong.
Please open your mind.
See what you can find.
I found out today we're going wrong,
We're going wrong.
We're going wrong.
We're going wrong.
"We're Going Wrong" is a song by the late Scottish musician, Jack Bruce, which expresses the angst that Bruce was experiencing with his band members. The lyrics, "Please open your eyes/Try to realize," implore the listener to pay attention and become cognizant of the situation that's unraveling around them. The singer has come to the realization that something isn't quite right, and the more they investigate, the more they realize that the group is going down the wrong path.
The lines, "Please open your mind/See what you can find," suggest that the solution lies in being open-minded and searching for the underlying cause, shifting the focus from individuals to the collective or shared situation. The repetition of the line, "We're going wrong," emphasizes the importance of this realization as the singer tries to make sense of the situation and find a solution.
Overall, the song conveys the message that unless there is a change in perspective and a collective effort made to address the problem, the group is destined to fail.
