Where Do We Go
Sval Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It tears me up, I know that it shouldn't
You look good on me, but you're not good for me
Should leave it here, wish that I could
(Where do we go, where do we?)
When you're running 'round in circles
When we can meet up in the middle
Where do we go, where do we go?
And I'm standing in the hallway
'Cause you've been locking every single door
When you don't wanna meet me halfway
Where do we go, where do we go?
I wanna fight, but you're cracking me up, oh
(You crack me up so bad)
Forgot why we were arguing somehow (I just forget it)
Let's get it over with, so you get over me (over me)
Let's talk it through again in the morning
(Where do we go, where do we?)
When you're running 'round in circles
And I'm chasing all your shadows, love
When we can meet up in the middle
Where do we go, where do we go?
And I'm standing in the hallway
'Cause you've been locking every single door
When you don't wanna meet me halfway
Where do we go, where do we go?
Where do we go, where do we go?
Where do we go, where do we go?
Ooh, ooh no, where do we go, mmh-oh, yeah
Where do we go, where do we?
Blame it on me, and all my madness
Put it on me, yeah all your sadness
Blame it on me, and all my bad days
Where do we go, where do we
Go when we feel like we gotta be alone?
Maybe if you let me in, let me close
Maybe if we talk it out, talk it over
Where do we go, where do we?
When you're running 'round in circles
And I'm chasing all your shadows
When we can meet up in the middle
Where do we go, where do we go?
And I'm standing in the hallway
'Cause you've been locking every single door
When you don't wanna meet me halfway
Where do we go, where do we go?
Where do we, where do we?
Where do we go, where do we go?
I wish you were here, I don't know
Where do we go, where do we?
The song "Where Do We Go" by Sval is about the complexities and uncertainty of a failing relationship. The opening lines of the song express conflicting emotions towards the person the singer is addressing. The writer admits to being torn between acknowledging their physical attraction to the person and the realization that the relationship is not good for them. The next lines suggest a response to an argument or break-up. The writer wants to resolve the disagreement quickly, but recognizes that it won't address the real issues.
Throughout the chorus, the writer asks "Where do we go?" as a rhetorical question. They express feeling lost and unsure about the direction of the relationship. There is a sense of chasing shadows and frustration from not being able to meet in the middle. The mention of a locked door creates a feeling of not being allowed to enter, connect or even communicate. The use of echoing vocals in the chorus emphasizes an internal dialogue or lack of communication between the two parties.
The bridge's lines "Blame it on me, and all my madness. Put it on me, yeah all your sadness. Blame it on me, and all my bad days." seem to be an attempt at self-reflection and owning the blame for the shortcomings in the relationship, but immediately leaving the writer flailing and feeling unsure about where to go next. The song ends with repeating the phrase "Where do we go" adding a sense of urgency and desperation.
Overall, Sval's "Where Do We Go" paints a picture of a relationship riddled with doubts, misunderstandings, and lack of communication.
