What Goes On
Stevie Ann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And i'm feeling so alone
Yeah you still wouldn't hear me
I could need you more then ever now
Any let's be how
Really how nobody
It's not the waiting that causes the pain
For what it's that goes on
Between that first part and what we're wrong
When i said that i lost it
I miss all that is crossing
And the way that we used to dream
I could be swept of my feet
Next to me there is an empty seat
Now tell me, what does it mean
I could ride those for milion miles
And cry when i see the silver down
Where would you be to capture me
It's not the waiting that causes the pain
It's just never felt such a long way
For what it's that goes on
Between that first part and what we're wrong
When i said that i lost it
I miss all that is crossing
And the way that we used to dream
We can't be faded
We can't be torn apart
I will be waiting
I would do anything to make this work i'll
If only be you
For what it's that goes on
When i said that i lost it
I miss all that is crossing
And the way that we used to dream
The way that we used to be
In Stevie Ann's song "What Goes On," the lyrics convey a sense of loneliness and longing for connection in a relationship. The singer expresses a desire for her partner's attention, but feels unheard despite her efforts to reach out. The lyrics also touch on the pain of distance and longing for what was once a happy relationship. The chorus repeats the idea that it's not the waiting that causes pain, but rather the feeling of being far apart from someone you care about.
Throughout the song, the singer reveals her vulnerability and willingness to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work. She also reminisces about past memories, reflecting on how their relationship used to be and desiring a return to that happier time.
The song's overall theme is one of desperation and the struggle to maintain a connection with someone you love. The lyrics and melody are both filled with emotion and heart, evoking a sense of longing and sadness that many can relate to.

I could scream into a microphone
I'm feeling unheard, even if I express myself loudly
And i'm feeling so alone
I'm feeling isolated and disconnected from others
Yeah you still wouldn't hear me
Even if I try to communicate, it feels like no one is truly listening
I could need you more then ever now
I'm in a vulnerable place and could use support from those around me
Any let's be how
But it seems like no one knows how to help
Really how nobody
I feel like I have no one to turn to in my struggles
It's not the waiting that causes the pain
The anticipation isn't what hurts, it's the distance and separation from what I want
It's just never felt such a long way
This feeling of longing and distance is new and difficult to cope with
For what it's that goes on
I'm trying to understand what's happening between us and why things aren't working out
Between that first part and what we're wrong
There's a disconnect between our initial connection and where we are now
When i said that i lost it
I admitted to making mistakes and losing control of the situation
I miss all that is crossing
I miss the moments of understanding and connection that we used to share
And the way that we used to dream
I miss the optimism and shared vision for the future that we used to have
I could be swept of my feet
I'm still hopeful that something good can happen and I can be swept off my feet by a positive change
Next to me there is an empty seat
But right now, it feels like there's no one there and I'm alone in my struggle
Now tell me, what does it mean
I'm searching for answers and trying to understand the meaning behind what's happening
I could ride those for milion miles
I'm willing to go through a lot of pain and difficulty to try to make things work
And cry when i see the silver down
But it's still hard and emotional to face the challenges and obstacles along the way
Where would you be to capture me
I wish I had someone who could support me and capture me when I feel like I'm falling apart
We can't be faded
I still believe that the connection we had is important and valuable
We can't be torn apart
And I hope that we can find a way to stick together and make things work
I will be waiting
I'm willing to wait and be patient in the hopes of a positive outcome
I would do anything to make this work i'll
And I'm willing to put in the effort and work to try to make things better
If only be you
But I need your help and support to make this happen
And the way that we used to dream
I'm still holding onto hope for the future and the ways we used to envision it together
The way that we used to be
And I miss the way things used to be between us, before the struggles and distance started to appear

Het is wel zo dat je aan het soort Engels wel kunt horen of een artiest uit Nederland komt ook al spreken ze het nog zo goed uit. Waar het hem precies in zit weet ik ook niet. Maar goed, ik erger me er verder ook niet aan en ik hoor het bij Stevie Ann ook niet zo. Maar goed, even wat ik van Stevie Ann vind; ik had haar naam al wel eens gehoord, maar ik wist helemaal niet wat voor zangeres daar bij hoorde, ik dacht dat ze zo'n Anoukachtige rockbitch was. Mis dus. Ik vind het wel leuke muziek,
