Where Are You Now?
The Clause Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One, two, three, four
Step outside on a summer day
Your walls cave-in but you can′t explain
You need a woman so she takes away the pain
Where are you now?
Afraid to show your face so you shy away
Chin up son, wipe the tears away
Where are you now?
Excuse me miss do you exist?
Are you the dream and vision of my finger tips?
I know that I've been hard to find but
Love takes time
And this is just a tune for when you feelin′ shy
Your worlds upside down and you don't know why
Are you what's been missing from the eye
Of my mind?
Where are you now?
Took shine in the picture frame
Jumpin′ to conclusions that you can′t contain
When you ain't seen a face in a couple of days
Where are you now?
Love will never know what makes you tick
If it′s the mothers love or a crusifix
Life somehow always seems to take the piss
Where are you now?
Excuse me miss do you exist?
Are you the dream and vision of my finger tips?
I know that I've been hard to find but
Love takes time
And this is just a tune for when you feelin′ shy
Your world's upside down and you don′t know why
Are you what's been missing from the eye
Of my mind?
Where are you now?
Love will never know what makes you tick
If it's the mothers love or a crusifix
Life somehow always seems to take the piss
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Oh-ho
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
The Clause's song "Where Are You Now?" is a contemplative tune about feeling lost and alone. The lyrics seem to be addressed to a woman who could potentially offer comfort to the singer- asking her where she is now. The song explores the notion that love takes time and that finding someone to share your life with can be an arduous task. The opening lines of the song set the stage; the singer is stepping outside on a summer day, though the walls are caving in, he can't explain it. He seeks comfort from a woman who can take away the pain.
The theme of loneliness and searching for companionship appears throughout the song. The singer struggles to find this woman who may be able to offer him the kind of love that he longs for. Even though he may have given up hope, he continues searching, wondering if she exists at all, and if so, where is she? The lines "Love will never know what makes you tick, if it's the mother's love or a crucifix" hint at the idea that love is difficult to define and that the singer may not understand what he's looking for entirely.
