When You Go
Lisa Marie Presley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So much to throw away
The ever-present darker side
Is making you color blind
But luckily, my blinded one
I know you and not what you've done
Not what you've done
You beautiful soul
When you go, a feeling that chokes
When you go, a fever that soaks
When you go, you go away into the unknown
When you go, you break my heart
Don't you go
Cause it chokes
It chokes
Given all, you are inside a shaft of light that you can't hide
But an idle mind will dominate and feed all the demons steak
When you walk around that old street
Where you lived and who you were then
You can have it again
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
It's a fever that soaks
You go away
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
When you go, you break my heart
Don't you go
Yeah
Cause it chokes
It chokes
The lyrics of Lisa Marie Presley's song When You Go describe a person who seems to have everything but is struggling with the darker side of life. The song explores the battle between light and dark and highlights how easily one can become blinded to the good things in life. The lyrics suggest that the person mentioned has something special about them, described as a "beautiful soul", and that the thought of this person being gone is unbearable. The song also touches on the idea of nostalgia and the power of memories, as the person is encouraged to return to a place where they once lived and embrace the past.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with the repetition of "When you go" emphasizing the fear of losing this person forever. The use of the words "fever that soaks" and "chokes" adds to the intensity of the emotion and suggests a deep connection between the singer and the person they are addressing. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but they could be seen as a plea to someone who is struggling to see the good in life and to hold on to the beauty of their soul.
