Wandering
The Hot & Heavy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know it's so
Apropos
You're the only one who goes
Thundering thru the alleyways
Of bombed-out cityscapes

And when you go When you go
You'd be better left alone
It's hard to be invisible
When you're screaming all the time

There you go, There you go
Oh you're never left alone
Not that that's despite a lack of trying

And here it goes
There it goes
You're the only one you know
Who don't leave many options
But to stand and watch it go

I've been seeing ghosts for eighteen years
And in that time I can see more clear now

You're so alone
So it goes
That's why everbody knows
It's hard to be indifferent when you've made it your M.O

It isn't true
Isn't true
All those things I think of you?
I suppose there's some things better left unsaid

I don't care what you were saying
I don't care that much at all

That's how I knew
How I knew
How I knew just what to do
I don't recall my options
But I know it's not with you

Now you know
Now you know
It's the only way to go
Falling thru the darkness all the while

Oh you'll get thru
You'll get thru
Yeah don't get to fuckin' blue
You know the end is never far from nigh

I've been seeing ghosts for 18 years...

Did you recall
The last we parted ways?




Did you know
That I curse you til the end of days?

Overall Meaning

The song "Wandering" by The Hot & Heavy describes a person who wanders through bombed-out cityscapes, screaming all the time, making themselves noticeable to everyone around them. The lyrics suggest that this individual is alone, evidenced by the line "you're so alone." The song's narrator also talks about seeing ghosts for 18 years, suggesting that they have been haunted by something or someone for a long time.


The chorus repeats the line "there you go, there you go, oh you're never left alone," indicating that the wandering person is always noticed and never ignored. However, the lyrics in the second verse suggest that the person has intentionally made it their M.O. (modus operandi) to be indifferent and stands and watches things go by without much action.


The song's ending is somewhat ambiguous. The lyrics "now you know, now you know, it's the only way to go" can be interpreted as a message of encouragement, suggesting that the only way to move forward is to keep wandering through the darkness, and the end is never far from nigh. However, the final lines ("did you recall the last we parted ways? did you know that I curse you til the end of days?") suggest that there may be a darker side to the message.


Line by Line Meaning

You know it's so
Acknowledgment of truth


Apropos
Appropriately


You're the only one who goes
You are unique in your ways


Thundering thru the alleyways
Moving aggressively in rough places


Of bombed-out cityscapes
Of areas destroyed by war


And when you go When you go
When you leave, when you're gone


You'd be better left alone
It's best if you go alone


It's hard to be invisible
It's difficult to not be noticed


When you're screaming all the time
When you are frequently yelling


There you go, There you go
You've moved on, you're gone


Oh you're never left alone
You are always accompanied


Not that that's despite a lack of trying
Despite efforts to go unnoticed


And here it goes
Here it begins (again)


There it goes
There it is (again)


You're the only one you know
You don't know anyone else like you


Who don't leave many options
Who doesn't provide many choices


But to stand and watch it go
But to remain and observe it leave


I've been seeing ghosts for eighteen years
I have been haunted by memories for a long time


And in that time I can see more clear now
Over time, my perception has improved


You're so alone
You are very lonely


So it goes
That's how things happen


That's why everbody knows
That's why everyone is aware


It's hard to be indifferent when you've made it your M.O
It's difficult to not care when you've always acted that way


It isn't true
It's not factual


Isn't true
It is untrue


All those things I think of you?
Are all the thoughts I had of you untrue?


I suppose there's some things better left unsaid
Perhaps it's best if some things were not spoken


I don't care what you were saying
I'm not interested in what you had to say


I don't care that much at all
I really don't care


That's how I knew
That's how I figured it out


How I knew
How I discovered


How I knew just what to do
How I knew exactly what needed to be done


I don't recall my options
I'm not sure what my choices were


But I know it's not with you
But I know I don't choose you


Now you know
Now you're aware


It's the only way to go
It's the only path to take


Falling thru the darkness all the while
Falling endlessly through the dark time


Oh you'll get thru
You will get past it


You'll get thru
You will overcome


Yeah don't get to fuckin' blue
Don't get too sad and upset


You know the end is never far from nigh
You know the end is always close


Did you recall
Do you remember


The last we parted ways?
Last time we separated


Did you know
Were you aware


That I curse you til the end of days?
That I will always hate you?

I'm glad you made it home safely and that you had such a great time in Thailand. Everything you did looked fun and the food looked good. Jjajang was sure happy to see you. He really missed you.
무사히 귀국하셔서 태국에서 좋은 시간 보내셨다니 다행입니다. 당신이 한 모든 것이 재미있어 보였고 음식도 좋아 보였습니다. Jjajang은 확실히 당신을 만나서 기뻤습니다. 그는 당신을 정말로 그리워했습니다.
