Where We Are
Mia Löfgren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the words would be untrue
And you can hide the anger
That's breaking you in two
We can use our passion
To burn away our pain
Either way, we'll always be the same
And me being me
We live inside ourselves, incomplete
Where we are
Is all alone
We seem to be lost in the darkness
The wind and the rain and the cold
Where we are
The love has died
Nothing but promises broken
In pieces that turned into lies
Where we are
We both have our reasons
Why the feeling somehow changed
And we can swear we're leaving
But we both is to afraid
Trading our tomorrows
For an empty yesterday
Look at us we're trapped inside this place
'Cause you being you
And me being me
We live inside ourselves, incomplete
Where we are
Is all alone
We seem to be lost in the darkness
The wind and the rain and the cold
Where we are
The love has died
Nothing but promises broken
In pieces that turned into lies
Where we are
Why do we keep holding on
When the love we knew is gone
Somehow we both just missed our falling star
Where we are
Is all alone
We seem to be lost in the darkness
The wind and the rain and the cold
Where we are
The love has died
Nothing but promises broken
In pieces that turned into lies
Where we are
Where we are
Mia Löfgren's heartfelt song, "Where We Are," encapsulates the pain of two people who are stuck in a relationship that has lost its spark. The opening lines convey a sense of insincerity and dishonesty. The singer admits that although they can say they love the other person, the words wouldn't be true. It seems like both individuals are struggling with their emotions, unable to express them truthfully.
As the song progresses, we learn that both the singer and the person they are referring to are dealing with anger and pain that threatens to break them apart. However, instead of confronting the issues affecting them, they use passion as a way to cope. The line, "Either way, we'll always be the same," suggests that they are resigned to their circumstances, and that they are unlikely to change.
In the chorus, Mia Löfgren paints a picture of emptiness and despair. They are lost in the darkness, feeling the wind and the rain, and the cold. The love that was once palpable has died, leaving them with shattered promises and lies. They are both at the point where they are struggling to hold on to the relationship, knowing that something has been lost along the way. Despite this, they continue to hold on to something that they know is gone.
"Where We Are" is a poignant song, conveying the struggles faced by many couples who find themselves in a stagnant relationship. It highlights the power of love, but also the pain and disappointment that comes with it. Ultimately, the song captures the complexities of human emotions, and the challenges of maintaining a relationship over time.

What's the reason behind not letting go?
When the love we knew is gone
When the passion has left the building?
Somehow we both just missed our falling star
Somehow we both didn't catch our chance at true love
