Where We Go
Killradio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'd just like ourselfs a lane
We've got nothin to lose
'Cause our race is not in vain
So treat us like a dog
'Cause we eat from your floor
We'll take care of ourselfs
'Cause you're taking care of yours
We raise the new flag as we dance on your street
We may be your children, but we won't stay in our seat
Where go we, it's unknown
Where go we, it's unwritten
Where go we, come what may
But how much can it hurt to stop and think
We're the pulse of the fire
Throwing gas back on the pyre
Watch those flames crack right back
With their attitudes to inspire
We're slave to the grind
In the belly of the beast
Gotta eat your way out now
If you, if you wanna succeed
We clear a new path so we can share this veiw
We may be your children, but we won't wear your costume
Where go we, it's unknown
Where go we, it's unwritten
Where go we, come what may
But how much can it hurt to stop and think
It's unknown
Where go we, it's unwritten
Where go we, come what may
But how much can it hurt to stop and think
'Cause I don't mind a little dose of pain
We clear a new path so we can share this veiw
Where go we, it's unknown
Where go we, it's unwritten
Where go we, come what may
But how much can it hurt to stop and think
It's unknown
Where go we, it's unwritten
Where go we, come what may
But how much time does it need to take
'Cause I don't mind a little dose of pain
And how much can it hurt to stop and think
The lyrics of Killradio's "Where We Go" speak about the struggle of youth trying to make their way in the world. The song starts with a plea for understanding ("Don't run us off the road, we'd just like ourselves a lane") and continues to describe the frustration of not being taken seriously ("We'll take care of ourselves 'cause you're taking care of yours").
The chorus emphasizes the uncertainty of the future and the need to stop and think about where we're going. The phrase "where go we" is intentionally grammatically incorrect, highlighting the uncertainty and confusion that the song is trying to convey. The verses speak to the determination and resilience of the youth, despite the challenges they face ("We're slave to the grind, in the belly of the beast, gotta eat your way out now if you wanna succeed"). The song also speaks to the idea of breaking free from society's expectations and norms ("We may be your children, but we won't wear your costume").
Overall, the song is an anthem for the youth trying to find their way in a world that can feel overwhelming and oppressive. It encourages them to think critically about where they're going and to not be discouraged by the challenges they face.
