What Goes Around
Orange Fox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No shallow waters
They will shape up and then break down
No shallow waters
They will save us, been dragged to the fall

What goes around
Will just come back around again
Hold on, hold on
Don't let the shadows follow you
Hold on, hold on

Spoke to the fathers
Those who raised you will expect it all
Don't left them wanting
They will chase you even when they're gone

What goes around
Will just come back around
And it's haunting you
What goes around
Will just come back around again
Hold on, hold on
Don't let the shadows follow you
Hold on, hold on

Darkness I fear
Pulls the love out of me
Yeah, the darkness I fear
Lets me see you

What goes around
Will just come back around
What goes around
Will just come back around again
What goes around
Will just come back around
And it's haunting you
What goes around
Will just come back around again
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on




What goes around
Will just come back around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Orange Fox's song "What Goes Around" delve into the idea that actions have consequences and the importance of not giving into negative influences. The repeated phrase "no shallow waters" suggests depth and meaning behind every action, and the idea that such actions can either shape us into something stronger or break us down. The line "they will save us, been dragged to the fall" could indicate that true friends and supporters are those who will stick with us through difficult times, even when we've been brought low.


The chorus offers a warning that what we put out into the world will inevitably come back to us; "what goes around will just come back around again." However, the song offers hope in the idea of holding on and not giving up in the face of challenges. The phrase "don't let the shadows follow you" can be interpreted as a call to actively resist negativity and not allow it to control one's life.


The second verse acknowledges the influence of our upbringing and the expectations of those who raised us. The line "they will chase you even when they’re gone" suggests the idea that the legacy of our family and upbringing can continue to impact our lives even after those individuals have passed away.
