Friends Go
Maggie Lindemann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where did all my friends go?
I miss those late nights
Just you and I up in my bedroom 'til sunrise
Could spend the night talking to you
Even if I was the only one talking
They busted the door, they don't see you at all
'Cause I know that you are, swear it's true
They said that I was the only one talking
White jacket, white pills
Told me I would feel better
But now, you ain't here
Will I ever feel better?
'Cause if you're only in my head
I don't wanna get out of it
I'm all by myself (all by myself)
Where did all my friends go?
I miss you like hell (miss you like hell)
I know you'll be back, though
They say that I'm crazy
They took you away
Now I'm all by myself
Where did all my friends go?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Where did all my friends go?
Nobody gets me the way that you get me
They just keep on saying you're imaginary
Not true (that's not true)
I can't imagine my life without you
White jacket, white pills
Told me I would feel better
But now, you ain't here
Will I ever feel better?
'Cause if you're only in my head
I don't wanna get out of it
I'm all by myself (I'm all by myself)
Where did all my friends go?
I miss you like hell (i miss you like hell)
I know you'll be back, though (come back, though)
They say that I'm crazy
They took you away
Now I'm all by myself
Where did all my friends go?
Ooh, ooh (oh, where did they go?)
Ooh (I'm all by myself, I'm all by myself)
Ooh, ooh (I'm all by myself, I'm all by myself)
Ooh (ooh, I'm all by myself)
Where did all my friends go?
The song "Friends Go" by Maggie Lindemann begins with the singer feeling lonely and wondering where her friends have gone. She misses the late nights spent with a friend in her bedroom, even if she was the only one doing the talking. The next verse describes how the singer has been given medication to make her feel better, but it doesn't seem to be working because her friend is not present. She questions whether she will ever feel better.
The chorus repeats the lines "I'm all by myself, where did all my friends go?" emphasizing the singer's loneliness and confusion. In the bridge, the singer defends her friend's existence, stating that they are not imaginary and that nobody understands her the way that her friend does. The song ends with the singer once again questioning where her friends have gone.
Overall, "Friends Go" is a powerful anthem about isolation and the importance of meaningful connections. One can see how this could be relatable to people who encounter social anxiety, abandoned by their friends or who just merely went through a rough time.

Where did all my friends go?

Just you and I up in my bedroom 'til sunrise
Could spend the whole night talking to you
Even if I was the only one talking
They busted the door
They don't see you at all

The song and video is so relatable, you be there for your friend whenever she or he needs you, you end up giving them all your support, all your attention, you feel safe with them, secure when it comes to secrets and your most vulnerable moments, but as soon as they find someone else, they leave you and treat you as though you were never there, and then backstab you T^T

Its actually about mental health and imaginary friends i think
