Wherever You Are
Nosound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The strangest thoughts
When I looked behind
I know I was wrong walking away
But I needed the burn
And the sound of my heart again
But the price was too high
Just missing a place
Where days were not passing by
And these tears you're now showing me
All the wounds that you didn't see
The only reason I walked away
Was for you to not hear what I said
I wish it wouldn't hurt again
So much strain I can barely stand
If we only could wipe the phrases we said
Forgiving ourselves and laughing again
We'll fly over the sea
And we'll dive into our dreams
And we'll fall asleep
Watching the rain feeding trees
And we'll run side by side
Leaving traces behind
Laughing out loud at our previous attempts
We'll be walking outside
When the first snow starts falling down
And we'll be here and now
Together at last... wherever you are
Nosound's "Wherever You Are" is a song that captures the essence of a turbulent relationship that has come to an end. The song is about a person who has walked away from love but still has the desire to be with the one they love. It is a song filled with regret and heartache, yet the singer in the song is hopeful that they will reunite with their lover someday.
The opening lyrics indicate a sense of inner turmoil that probably led to the breakup of the relationship. The singer confesses to feeling anger and experiencing strange thoughts that made them walk away. The line "But I needed the burn and the sound of my heart again" hints that the person wanted to feel alive again and perhaps that feeling was missing in the relationship.
The second verse is a mixture of regret and an attempt to justify the reasons for the breakup. The singer acknowledges that the price of walking away was high but also that the fury that drove them away was too wild to contain. The phrase "Just missing a place where days were not passing by" indicates a longing for something more meaningful and perhaps a fulfillment that was lacking in the relationship. The tears and wounds that are mentioned could imply that there might have been a communication gap between the couple.
The chorus brings back the hope of reconciliation, and the singer wishes that the hurt and strain will fade away, leaving room for laughter and forgiveness. The imagery of flying over the sea, diving into dreams, and watching the rain feeding trees is a metaphor for rekindling the passion and joy that was once present. The last two lines of the chorus "Together at last... wherever you are" suggest that the person still loves their partner, even if they are not physically together.

Despite the anger I felt inside
Although I was filled with rage internally
The strangest thoughts
My mind was consumed by peculiar ideas
When I looked behind
Upon reflection
I know I was wrong walking away
I realize that leaving was a mistake
But I needed the burn
I needed to endure the pain
And the sound of my heart again
And to reconnect with my emotions
But the price was too high
But it cost me too much
And that fury too wild
And my anger was out of control
Just missing a place
Longing for a particular location
Where days were not passing by
Where time didn't seem to fly by
And these tears you're now showing me
And these tears you're displaying presently
All the wounds that you didn't see
The injuries that you were unaware of
The only reason I walked away
My lone purpose for leaving
Was for you to not hear what I said
Was so that you wouldn't hear my words
I wish it wouldn't hurt again
I wish I didn't experience this pain again
So much strain I can barely stand
The burden is so great that I can hardly endure it
If we only could wipe the phrases we said
If we were only able to erase the things we said
Forgiving ourselves and laughing again
To pardon ourselves and find joy again
We'll fly over the sea
We will soar across the ocean
And we'll dive into our dreams
And immerse ourselves in our reveries
And we'll fall asleep
And we will doze off
Watching the rain feeding trees
Observing the rainfall providing sustenance to the trees
And we'll run side by side
We will run alongside each other
Leaving traces behind
Leaving markings in our wake
Laughing out loud at our previous attempts
Chuckling at our prior efforts
We'll be walking outside
We will be strolling outdoors
When the first snow starts falling down
When the initial snowflakes start to descend
And we'll be here and now
And we will exist in this moment
Together at last... wherever you are
Finally united...wherever you may be

The drumming here does shine

That's because Maitland is playing. The octopus who plays like an indian god on LSD. He has an amazing feel for the kit and holds a very unique and expressive style. He was the guy who essentially helped steer porcupine tree to worldwide recognition before Gavin Harrison stepped into his place on the album in-absentia.
