Where the Wind Goes
The Shroud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your words sharp as daggers
Cut me free
Hollow inside
No feelings to hold me down
I'll go where the wind goes
Nothing will tether me
Nothing can hold me
You are gone And I am wandering
Under the starry sky Silently
Hollow inside
No feelings to hold me down
I'll go where the wind goes
Nothing will tether me
I'll go where the wind goes
Nothing can hold me
I'll go where the wind goes
Nothing will hurt me
I'll go where the wind goes
Nothing can hold me
The lyrics to The Shroud's song Where the Wind Goes convey a sense of freedom and liberation that comes after a painful breakup. The singer acknowledges that their partner is leaving them, with words that cut like daggers. However, rather than feeling bound by the pain, the singer has become hollow inside, with no feelings to hold them down. They resolve to go where the wind goes, with nothing to tether or hold them back. The song's refrain repeats this sense of freedom and the willingness to be carried away by the wind, free from the pain that once held them down.
The lyrics are sparse, with a minimalist approach that creates a sense of space and emptiness. This emptiness mirrors the singer's emotional state, as they detach from their feelings and seek to escape the pain of the breakup. The starry sky and silence add to this sense of space, as the singer wanders, unencumbered by the past.
Overall, the song Where the Wind Goes is a meditation on the freedom that comes after a painful breakup. The singer seeks to escape from their pain and become untethered, willing to be carried away by the wind.

This brings back so many memories of being 19 years old and discovering the true underground gothic stuff like this and This Ascension or Mephisto Walz! It almost too much to bear.
