Imagine a robot performer in the future, in love with hip hop beatology and skillful enough to twist it into new shapes, programmed with an infused knowledge of the biographies of Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Leroy Hutson as source material for lyric writing and you might have an idea of the Spacek sound - Robotic, futuristic, hip-hop based soul.
Where We Go
Steve Spacek Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Already written on your face
But mirrors don't reflect it in the proper way
Hard to know, guess all suspended in this space
But is it, just a thrill you can't retrace?
Where we go
Where we go, go, go
Where we go, go, go
Where we go
Where we go, go, go
Where we go
Where we go
You already have been there
Treading in, over your old footsteps
Haven't you ever had a moment where
You feel at home in a place you haven't been?
Where we go
Where we go, go, go, go
Where we go
Where we go, go, go, go
Where we go
Where we go, where we go, go
Where we go, go
Where we go
Where we go
Where we go, go, go, go
Where we go
Where we go, go, go, go
Where we go
Where we go, where we go, go
Where we go, go
Where we go
Where we go, where we go, go, go, go
Where we go
Where we go, go, go, go
Where we go
Where we go, where we go, go
Where we go, go
Where we go
Where we go
Where we go
Where we go, go
Where we go, go, go, go
Where we go
Where we go
Where we go
In Steve Spacek's song, "Where We Go," the lyrics are a contemplation of the often-complicated nature of personal emotions and human experiences, particularly in the context of relationships. The first stanza speaks to the idea that people often hide their true thoughts and feelings, leaving others to guess or assume what they may be thinking or feeling. This is reinforced by the line "mirrors don't reflect it in the proper way," suggesting that one's own self-reflection isn't enough to truly understand themselves or their own emotions. In this space of uncertainty and unknowingness, the question arises whether the thrill of the unknown is worth the potential consequences of not being able to retrace one's steps.
The second stanza takes on a more nostalgic tone, as the lyrics describe a feeling of deja vu or familiarity in a place where one has never actually been. This sense of déjà-vu could be interpreted as a metaphor for the emotional attachment to a person or experience that is reminiscent of something in one's past. The song suggests that memories, rather than the physicality of being in a particular place or time, provide the sense of well-being that we desire. The chorus highlights the phrase "Where we go" repeatedly, encouraging the listener to question the unpredictable nature of life and relationships, and to ask where they're headed and what they want to achieve.

Where we go
Asking where the journey will take us
Already written on your face
The answer to the question is already apparent or obvious
But mirrors don't reflect it in the proper way
The answer is not always what we see in ourselves or what others see in us
Hard to know, guess all suspended in this space
Uncertainty makes it difficult to determine the exact answer and we are left suspended in this state
But is it, just a thrill you can't retrace?
Questioning if the journey is worth it or if it is just a temporary thrill with no lasting value
You already have been there
Sometimes we feel like we have already gone through the experience before, like deja vu
Treading in, over your old footsteps
Walking over the same path or experience again, but it feels different than before
Haven't you ever had a moment where
Asking if we have ever felt a sense of familiarity with a new experience
You feel at home in a place you haven't been?
Feeling comfortable and at ease in a new situation or environment
Where we go, go, go
Emphasizing the forward movement of the journey
Where we go, where we go, go
Continuing to emphasize the unknown destination of the journey
