Where?
Nickelback Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was wrong to think that I could ever trust in you
I was wrong to think that you might want to trust me, too

Here I am, here I am
Here I stand
Here I am, here I am, here I am, here I stand

I was wrong to think that I could ever love in you
I was wrong to think that you might want to love me, too

Here I am, here I am
Here I stand
Here I am, here I am, here I am, here I stand

So where the hell are you?
So where the hell are you?





So where are you when I need someone, too?
I'm tired of needing you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nickelback's song Where convey the heartbreak and betrayal felt by the singer. The first two lines indicate that the singer had believed in and trusted the subject of the song, but was proven wrong. The repetition of "Here I am, here I stand" can be interpreted as the singer's assertion of their own strength and determination to move forward. The following two lines express the pain of realizing that love and trust were not reciprocated, and that the singer had been holding onto false hope. The chorus then poses the unanswered question of "where the hell" the subject of the song is when the singer is in need. The final line reveals that the singer is tired of relying on someone who does not reciprocate their feelings.


Overall, the song Where is a powerful exploration of the pain of betrayal and unrequited love. The repetition of the lines "Here I am, here I stand" emphasizes the singer's resilience and determination to move forward, while the chorus conveys the frustration and hurt of being let down by someone they had believed in.
