Maybe I'll Go
Lene Marlin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think you've made it everything's going so fine
But then appears someone who want to
Tear you down
Want to rip you off those few nice things you've found
When and if you hit the ground.
Then it's falling kinda hard
Cause all you do is being yourself
Trying everything to succeed somehow.
But that's not the way things are right now.
Feeling kinda lost.

Those reasons
Those unkind words being expressed
Oh they'll get to you I promise one day.
But maybe then it's too late for you to say
I knew it from the go cause you know
That's some miles away from the truth.
Don't forget

Hey what do you think of me now
Am I not like I once were
Still if you don't know me
What's the story of this pen
I guess you're not a stranger
And I can tell you're not a friend
It might take a while but I guess you'll manage waiting till then.
Then when you confront me with your thought

You may think I don't notice don't get a bit hurt by what you do
I ask you to please think of
What I've done to you.
Please search inside and let me know
If I've done something wrong I guess I'll go




Far hidden
Never to be found

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lene Marlin's song "Maybe I'll Go" depict the struggles of trying to succeed while dealing with external pressures and internal doubts. The singer of the song feels like they are doing everything they can to succeed, but then someone comes along and tries to tear them down. The lyrics convey a sense of unease and uncertainty, as the singer realizes that even when things seem to be going well, there are always forces that can bring them down.


The second verse of the song emphasizes the power of words to hurt and the importance of being aware of how our actions and words can affect others. The singer worries that the unkind words being expressed will eventually get to them, and wonders if it will be too late to do anything once they do. The lyrics also suggest that even when we think we know someone, there is always more to their story that we might not be aware of.


The chorus of the song suggests that the singer is aware of the judgments others may make about them and wonders if they are still seen as the same person they once were. However, the lyrics also suggest that the singer is not too concerned with what others think and is more focused on being true to themselves. The final verse of the song suggests that the singer is willing to reflect on their own actions and make amends if they have done something wrong, but also recognizes that sometimes it may be better to just disappear and start anew.

I think Lene write in this song how she fights with the negative voices surrounding her during her career.

Cause all you do is being yourself
因为你只想做你自己
Trying everything to succeed somehow.
尝试任何能够成功的方式
But thats not the way things are right now.
但是事情现在进展得并不顺利
Feeling kinda lost.
你感到迷茫

Then she persuades her friend to walk out of the shadows. Maybe this friend is just like Lene in the past, trapped in the negative comments and feeling lost. Now she walks out of the shadow and she want to comfort everyone who has the same experience. When they finally walks out they will confront with Lene and become true friends.

Still if you dont know me
尽管你还不知道
Whats the story of this pen
我的笔会写下怎样的故事
I guess youre not a stranger
我猜你不是陌生人
And I can tell you're not a friend
我也知道你并不是朋友
It might take a while but I guess youll manage waiting till then.
成为朋友需要很久,但我猜想你愿意等到那一天
Then when you confront me with your thought
等到我们思想交锋之时


In the last part she writes to the people who hurt her: tell me why you hate me so much, if there is any reason, I will hide far away.

Please search inside and let me know
请问问你的内心便让我知道
If I've done something wrong I guess I'll go
如果我做了什么错事我想我会离开
Far hidden
躲在一个很远的地方
Never to be found.

永远不被人找到

Well truly a excellent song
Accidents will happen keep
Yourself upwards and forwards
I'm here now better to see u
Meet me in Tromso sthil timber
Sports or world's strongest Man
Competition skiing call me
When I let u know Ice Caps melting
I'm up there to stop this castrasrophic ecological economics natural prone able degree disaster of delagates by 20
Agreements with Theology ecological reducing the Heat
Of energy defficent to a significant
Problem of delagates by 20
