Where Were You
Ravenscode Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When everything
Revolves around you
Revolves around you
And what about when it becomes
To be my turn to do something fun
You don't want to
No, you don't want to
And I know
That, something got to change
And I won't
Be the one to blame
Where were you?
When my world came crashing down?
Where were you?
When I picked myself up off the ground?
Where were you?
When my walls came caving in?
This is how I live my life,
My love line's wearing thin
And even to this day I
Know that everything
Has to go your way
It has to go your way
I watch my step in case that you're not
There with me
Well, I'll figure it out some way
Yeah, I'll figure it out some way
And I know
If it were you there in my place
You'd be screaming
Screaming in my face saying
Where were you?
When my world came crashing down
Where were you?
When I picked myself up off the ground
Where were you?
When my walls came caving in
This is how I live my life,
My love line's wearing thin
I don't even know
How much more of this I can take
Nothing's wrong but i cant do this any more i swear i wont i cant wait
so much longer for this day to come to an end
i cant wait i cant.
Where were you?
When my world came crashing down
Where were you?
When I picked myself up off the ground
Where were you?
When my walls came caving in
This is how I live my life,
My love line's wearing thin
The lyrics of Ravenscode's song "Where Were You" describes the feeling of being stuck in a relationship with someone who always wants things to go their own way, leaving no room for personal growth or independent decision-making. The singer questions how they are supposed to live their life when everything revolves around their partner and admits to feeling suffocated. The lyrics then shift to a more accusatory tone, with the singer asking where their partner was in moments of crisis. Despite feeling worn down, the singer is determined to figure things out and make a change.
The phrase "where were you" is repeated throughout the song, highlighting the theme of abandonment and feeling alone in difficult times. The lyrics also express frustration and resentment towards the partner who doesn't seem to be there for them. The singer acknowledges that they have been living their life on their partner's terms, but now something needs to change.

This song should get more recognition, this is like our song when no one is there when you need them the most so you have to be your own best friend because there will be no one by your side but yourself.

Jullian Dale Cordova definitely made my day right here. I needed to hear this. I've been the only person here for myself in a long while. at least I know I'm always here and won't hurt myself or let myself down.
