Where Did All My Friends Go
Jamie Campbell Bower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did I get lost along my way?
I try to keep my feet as best I could from this terrain
Hold my heart in your hands
Is it so hard for me to blame myself for all I've done?
It wasn't me it's down to fate
I'll say but I'm not open to suggestion
I'm not open to opinion
And if all of our days are done and if all of the nights are gold and if all of our days are done why do I fall
Blessed be the soldier that fights the wars that we have won
He's told to live his life not by his heart but by his gun
Hold his heart in your hands is it so hard for you to blame yourself for all you've done
It wasn't you it's down to fate
I'll say but I'm not open to suggestion and I'm not open to opinion
If I were open to your questions I would fall so far so hard
And if all of our days are done and if all of all of the nights are gold and if all of our days are done why do I fall
I just fall in love with you
Little darlin' don't you worry
Little sister don't you fret
Little darlin' don't you worry
Little sister don't you fall on the cold hard ground on the cold hard ground you know it's hard
And I heard you say if all of our days are done and if all of the nights are gold and if all of our days are done then why do I fall why do I fall in love with you
Where did all my friends go?
Where did all my friends go?
Where did all my friends go?
Where did all my friends go?
Where did all my friends go?
Where did all my friends go?
Where did all my friends go?
The song "Where Did All My Friends Go" by Jamie Campbell Bower seems to be about feeling lost and alone, wondering where his friends have gone. Bower questions himself, wondering if he got lost along the way or if he did something wrong for his friends to leave. He then asks the listener to hold his heart in their hands, asking if it's so hard to blame oneself for all they've done. He mentions that he's not open to opinions or suggestions on how to fix things, fearing that it may cause him to fall even harder.
Bower then switches to talking about a soldier who is fighting in wars, being told to live his life by his gun instead of his heart. Bower asks the listener to hold the soldier's heart in their hands, questioning if it's so hard to blame oneself for all they've done. He admits that it wasn't the soldier's fault, but fate. He then repeats that he's not open to suggestions or opinions before questioning why he falls in love. Finally, he ends the song by reassuring his loved ones not to worry or fret.
Overall, the lyrics reflect a sense of confusion and isolation, as Bower struggles to figure out why his friends have gone and why he falls in love. The song seems to be about wanting to find a connection with others, but feeling lost and unsure of how to do so.
