Where Do We Go
The Urge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Over and over
I feel like we're playing a game
Overcoming the obstacles
Nothing changes, stays the same
Now I'm getting angry
and I'm ready to fight
But those words give me the peace I need tonight
I'm getting angry, and I'm ready to fight
yeah but those words give me
the peace I need tonight
Where do we go from here?
Maybe time will tell

Maybe time will tell
More than often, I wonder
Will we come around,
and lift us off the ground?
My imagination fabricates the lie we live in
You touched everyone of us
Time to let the healing begin
Metamorphosis, think its gonna change, yeah
But you stood inside that sniper's range
Where do we go from here




Maybe time will tell
Maybe time will tell

Overall Meaning

The Urge's "Where Do We Go" speaks to the frustration that many feel about the state of the world. The repetition of the phrase "over and over" suggests that the singer feels as though they are stuck in a loop where they are constantly trying to overcome obstacles, but nothing ever really changes. This can be seen in the lines, "I feel like we're playing a game/Overcoming the obstacles/Nothing changes, stays the same." The singer is beginning to feel angry, but then finds peace in the realization that while they may not know what the future holds, they can take comfort in the fact that time will eventually reveal the way forward.


The following verses further explore the theme of uncertainty and frustration. The line "More than often, I wonder/Will we come around, and lift us off the ground?" speaks to the sense of hopelessness that many feel when they look around and see a world that is plagued by violence and inequality. The singer's imagination helps them to cope with the harsh realities of life, but they also acknowledge that this fantasy is just a "lie we live in." The line "You touched everyone of us/Time to let the healing begin" suggests that although there is much pain and sorrow in the world, there is also the potential for healing and growth.


In the end, the answer to the question "Where do we go from here?" remains elusive. The singer can only hope that with time, things will become clearer. The final line of the song, "Maybe time will tell," suggests that the future is uncertain, but there is still reason to hold onto hope.

Timeless music! Sick stuff!

nothing like the days sweating it up on the floor of Mississippi nights watching the boys jam like no tomorrow.

Ted just admit it…….

Louisiana for me but yeah. Good times.

I once had the honor of getting to play a gig at Mississippi Nights, way back in the day. I’d never had the pleasure of seeing these stl legends there, had to settle for xmas shows at the pageant. But they were so damn good.

JC G

I went to a 311 concert in Montgomery Al, they opened and I had no clue on who they were. They rocked the place. Been a fan ever since.

S Perrot

I'm a St.louis fan. I thought this band should have made it.

JC G

@S Perrot they did make it.

INGLAMEO

This album is my heroin

Aelhaearn Steffen

I hated The Urge the first time I heard them (on a fucking cassette tape). Then I saw them live in a tiny bar in Lawrence Kansas in 1990...something. I've loved them ever since.

Buud

They were too far ahead of their time.
