Goin' There Today
Kameron Marlowe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They serve the best down at that corner cafe
But it′ll have to wait, 'cause truth is
I don′t feel like goin' there today
I know that back pasture fence needs fixin'
The horses got out on the neighbor′s place
But it′ll have to wait, 'cause truth is
′Cause if I do, I'll see you
Lookin′ like the chorus of a country song
With your t-shirt tied up and ballcap on
And us so in love
In the bed of my truck underneath the stars
Wrapped up in my arms steady stealin' my heart
But it always ends with you walkin' away
And I don′t feel like goin′ thеre today
I'd love to turn the radio on in my Chеvy
Sing every word to "Marina del Rey"
But it′ll have to wait, 'cause truth is
I don′t feel like goin' there today
′Cause if I do, I'll see you
Lookin' like the chorus of a country song
With your t-shirt tied up and ballcap on
And us so in love
In the bed of my truck underneath the stars
Wrapped up in my arms steady stealin′ my heart
But it always ends with you walkin′ away
And I don't feel like goin′ there today
'Cause if I do, I′ll see you
Lookin' like the chorus of a country song
With your t-shirt tied up and ballcap on
And us so in love
In the bed of my truck underneath the stars
Wrapped up in my arms steady stealin′ my heart
But it always ends with you walkin' away
And I don't feel like goin′ there today
No, I don′t feel like goin' there today
The lyrics of Kameron Marlowe's "Goin' There Today" express the singer's internal conflict between his desire to carry out his daily routine and his hesitation to revisit a place that reminds him of a past love that he lost. The song reflects on the internal struggle that one goes through when they are faced with the prospect of reliving painful memories. The singer desires a cup of black coffee from the corner café but is hesitant to go there because the sight of his former lover in the vicinity makes his heart ache. Similarly, he has tasks that need attending, such as fixing the back pasture fence, but cannot bring himself to do so as the memory of the person he loved and lost associated with it.
The chorus of the song underscores the central theme as it describes the painful memory that causes him to hesitate to revisit places that he and his lover once shared. Though he describes their happy moments together, it always ends with his lover walking away, leaving nothing but heartache behind. The repetition of the chorus enhances the melancholy sentiment, laying emphasis on the deep-seated pain that the past romance has caused. Overall, the song effectively portrays the lingering pain caused by lost love and the internal conflict that follows when we must confront it again.
