It Makes Me Wonder
Sweet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now that every body is gone
I am left to wonder why it all went so wrong
Maybe I was born to late
In a time when love so quickly turned to age

Don't go outside
Alive
Safe is inside
Goodbye
Inside outside

It's feel so good to be alive
"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder
"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder
"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder
"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder
"Why why"
Why

Shield my face against the rain
I can never see the world I knew again
By playing god they went too fare
But why have I been left alone to bear the scar

"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder
"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder
"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder
"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder
"Why why"
Why
Why
Why

Don't go outside
Alive
Safe is inside
Goodbye
I inside outside

It's feel so good to be alive
"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder
"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder
"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder
"Why why why"
And it makes me wonder




"Why why"
Why

Line by Line Meaning

Now that every body is gone
With everyone gone, I'm left pondering about what went wrong


I am left to wonder why it all went so wrong
I'm wondering why everything took a sour turn


Maybe I was born to late
Perhaps I was born in the wrong era


In a time when love so quickly turned to age
In a time where love fades too quickly


Don't go outside
It's safer to stay inside


Alive
Being alive is a blessing


Safe is inside
Staying safe is better indoors


Goodbye
Saying goodbye to the outside world


Inside outside
Contemplating where it's safer to be


It's feel so good to be alive
The sensation of being alive is wonderful


"Why why why" And it makes me wonder "Why why why" And it makes me wonder "Why why why" And it makes me wonder "Why why why" And it makes me wonder "Why why" Why
Repeatedly asking myself why


Shield my face against the rain
Protecting myself from the rain while moving forward


I can never see the world I knew again
The world I saw before is gone forever


By playing god they went too fare
Their quest for power led them down a dangerous path


But why have I been left alone to bear the scar
Questioning why I am the one who was left to deal with the after-effects

Steve Priest is singing this song, like most of their latter songs, since Brian left 1979. Identity Crisis is a very good album and totally different than CATR album 1979. Identity was an album which Swet went back on their former roots, back to early 70Β΄s sound. Thanx Andy, Mick and Steve.
