Where You At
The Bohicas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She sends me 'round the bend
But I'll bend over backwards
Like you did for me, back
When the world would not go there
But you know way then when we
Went, when we left, all our clothes
Lying on the stairs
Where you at?
Where you at?
I really need you nearer
All of that Idol fever
Ryan gel on yeah, like
Still by my mirror
Have any other smokes?
I made these country strokes
I may have lost the battle
But I haven't lost the
War
Where you at?
Where you at?
Come cruinig 'round the bend
Rocking boosters, and
Where you at, where you at
Tell me baby
Where you at, where you at
Where you at, where you at
This longest goodbye
Doesn't mean the end
I steal the apple forest
That dumpling Rumplesaurus
Saw your slick's, hide your licks
I am an onion heel
Slipping on that onion peel
Skidding and a sliding, and
Cutting when the wild cuts
Heel, it feels like I
Don't even know you when you
Scream, and cry loud just like Krakatoa
When you erupt, I self-destruct
You'll be wishing for that ammunition
Blow my body up
Come cruinig 'round the bend
Rocking boosters, and
Where you at, where you at
Tell me baby
Where you at, where you at
Where you at, where you at
This longest goodbye
Doesn't mean the end
Where you at?
Come cruinig 'round the bend
Rocking boosters, and
Where you at, where you at
Tell me baby
Where you at, where you at
Where you at, where you at
This longest goodbye
Doesn't mean the end
The lyrics to The Bohicas' "Where You At" are a blend of vivid imagery and scattered memories of a past love. The singer describes the feeling of being sent "round the bend," or driven to the edge of his emotions by this person. Despite this, he is still willing to go to great lengths for her, just as she did for him at some point in the past. They shared a moment where they left everything behind and escaped reality, leaving their clothes lying on the stairs.
The chorus repeats the question "Where you at?" as the singer longs for the personhood he once knew and misses her presence. He mentions Idol fever and Ryan gel, seemingly referencing popular 2000s TV show American Idol and hairstyles of the time period, which help date this song. He also acknowledges his own faults, admitting he may have lost some battles but not the war, while imploring his lost love to come back.
The second verse takes an odd turn with references to a Rumplesaurus and an onion peel, which may be interpreted as nonsense or metaphors for something significant to the singer's unique experience. They could be references to a particular moment or location in their shared history, now layered with meaning and memories. The verse also includes a violent image of self-destructing when the other person erupts. It shows the intensity of the singer's feelings and highlights the destructive aspect of their relationship.
Overall, this song is about the persistent longing for a past love and the memories of shared experiences that continue to haunt the singer. The desperation in the chorus emphasizes the emotional toll the situation takes on him.
Line by Line Meaning
Then every now and then
Occasionally, my partner behaves in a way that confuses me
She sends me 'round the bend
Her unpredictable behavior sometimes frustrates me
But I'll bend over backwards
Despite the frustration, I am willing to make a lot of effort to show my love
Like you did for me, back
Just like you showed me love and support in the past
When the world would not go there
When things were tough and I felt alone, you were there for me
But you know way then when we
At that time, we were both young and naive
Went, when we left, all our clothes
When we left in a hurry, we left behind all our belongings
Lying on the stairs
Our clothes were scattered and forgotten on the stairs
Where you at?
I'm calling out to you, asking where you are
I really need you nearer
I miss you and I want to be closer to you
All of that Idol fever
The obsession with fame and the pursuit of stardom
Ryan gel on yeah, like
The celebrity culture and the desire to look perfect like Ryan Gosling
Still by my mirror
But despite all this, I'm still stuck in front of the mirror
Have any other smokes?
Do you have any cigarettes left?
I made these country strokes
I tried to make a bold move but it didn't quite work out
I may have lost the battle
I may have made a mistake, but
But I haven't lost the
I'm not willing to give up on us yet
War
Our relationship is worth fighting for
Come cruinig 'round the bend
I am looking for you, hoping to see you soon
Rocking boosters, and
I am listening to music to keep me going
Tell me baby
I'm pleading with you to let me know where you are
This longest goodbye
We've been apart for so long now
Doesn't mean the end
But that doesn't have to be the end of our relationship
I steal the apple forest
I am wandering through the forest, feeling lost and alone
That dumpling Rumplesaurus
A strange, made-up character that represents my confusion and frustration
Saw your slick's, hide your licks
I caught a glimpse of you, but you quickly disappeared
I am an onion heel
I am feeling vulnerable and exposed
Slipping on that onion peel
My emotions are getting the best of me and I am struggling to keep my footing
Skidding and a sliding, and
I am slipping and sliding and struggling to keep balance
Cutting when the wild cuts
Surviving the tough times by being strong and resilient
Heel, it feels like I
It's tough right now and I'm not sure what to do
Don't even know you when you
At times, I feel like I don't even know you anymore
Scream, and cry loud just like Krakatoa
There are times when you are emotional and upset, like a volcano erupting
When you erupt, I self-destruct
When you're upset, I have a hard time knowing how to react
You'll be wishing for that ammunition
If we keep fighting, we'll both end up hurt
Blow my body up
I would rather end things peacefully than continue to fight
Where you at?
I'm calling out to you, asking where you are
This longest goodbye
We've been apart for so long now
Doesn't mean the end
But that doesn't have to be the end of our relationship

Then every now and then
She sends me 'round the bend
But I'll bend over backwards
Like you did for me, back when
No, I will not go there
But you know when and where we went
When we left all our clothes
Lying on the stairs
Where you at?
Where you at?
I really need you nearer
All of that aloe vera
And your ylang ylang's
Still by my mirror
It may be a lost cause
I may be clutching straws
I may have lost the battle
But I haven't lost the war
Where you at?
Where you at?
Come cruising 'round the bend
Rocket boost adrenaline
Where you at?
Where you at?
Tell me baby
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you, where you
Where you at?
Let's hope this goodbye
Doesn't mean the end
Lost in the urban forest
Flame-throwing Robo-saurus
Oil slicks his hydraulics
I am hot on your heels
Slipping on banana peels
Skidding-and-a-sliding and coliding
Where the wildcats squeal
It feels like I
Don't even know you
When you scream, and cry
Loud as Krakatoa
When you erupt
I self-destruct
Got me wishing for that demolition
Blow my body up
Come cruising 'round the bend
Rocket boost adrenaline
Where you at?
Where you at?
Tell me baby
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you, where you
Where you at?
Let's hope this goodbye
Doesn't mean the end
Where you at?
Come cruising 'round the bend
Rocket boost adrenaline
Where you at?
Where you at?
Tell me baby
Where you at?
Where you at?
Where you, where you
Where you at?
Let's hope this goodbye
Doesn't mean the end
