The band recorded one album, comprised entirely of covers of musicians such as The Cars, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Steely Dan, and Pink Floyd, among others.

Destination Unknown
Replicants Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is so strange
When you don't know
How can you tell
Where you're going to
You can't be sure
Of any situation
Something could change
And then you won't know

Ask yourself

Where do we go from here
It seems so all too clear
It's just as far beyond as I can see
I still don't know what this all means to me
Tell yourself
I have nowhere to go
I don't know what to do
And I don't need to know the time of day

I guess it doesn't matter anyway
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Your destination unknown

Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Your destination
You ask yourself

When will my time come
Has it all been said and done
I know I'll leave when it's my time to go
Till then I'll carry on with what I know
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change

It's unknown
And then you won't know
Your destination unknown
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
And something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know

Your destination unknown
Love is so strange
Love is so strange
Love is so strange
Love is so strange
Love is so strange
Love is so strange
Love is so strange
Love is so strange

Love is so strange
Love is so strange

Overall Meaning

The song "Destination Unknown" by Replicants reflects on the uncertainty and unpredictability of life. The lyrics suggest that we are all on a journey without knowing our final destination, and that life remains unpredictable and strange. The song begins with the singer's confusion about knowing where they are going or even how to determine their direction. In the chorus, they ask themselves "where do we go from here?" suggesting a sense of lost direction and uncertainty about the future.

The second verse of the song focuses on the singer's acknowledgement of having nowhere to go and not knowing what to do. The singer seems resigned to the fact that they don't need to know the time of the day or what things mean to them. The song ends with the phrase "love is so strange" repeated several times, perhaps indicating that love, like life, is also unpredictable and strange.

Overall, "Destination Unknown" is a poignant reflection on the human condition and the struggle to make sense of the world around us. It encourages listeners to embrace the uncertainty of life and find meaning in the journey rather than worrying about the destination.
