Georgia
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, here we are again, too, too good to be friends
Forever, forever, forever
Well, look at what we've done, three, three worlds into one
Together, together, together
So, how can this be true, we, we thought that me and you
Forever, forever, forever

In a [world full of morning stark]
Rising over [unshed junk]




Dancing in the rigs of the western world
Blindfolds on but we don't care

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of OMD's Georgia convey the confusion and complexity of a romantic relationship. The opening lines "Well, here we are again, too, too good to be friends" suggest that the two people have tried to stay just friends, but their feelings have grown stronger. This is followed by the repetition of "Forever, forever, forever", which indicates a desire for a long-lasting and committed relationship. However, the next line "Well, look at what we've done, three, three worlds into one" suggests that there may be differences between them, possibly cultural or personal, that they must unite in order to be together. The repetition of "Together, together, together" emphasizes their commitment to overcoming these differences and being together.


The chorus of the song adds complexity to the relationship. "So, how can this be true, we, we thought that me and you, forever, forever, forever" suggests that the two people may not have seen each other romantically before, but now that they have, they cannot imagine being apart. The following lines "In a [world full of morning stark]/Rising over [unshed junk]/Dancing in the rigs of the western world/Blindfolds on but we don't care" create vivid imagery of a world that may be difficult to navigate, but they are willing to dance through it together, even with obstacles in their way.


Overall, the lyrics of Georgia are a mixture of confusion, desire, and commitment. The repetition of phrases emphasizes these emotions and creates a sense of urgency, while the imagery paints a picture of a relationship that is both challenging and rewarding.
