Please Head North
Transit Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

After tonight I just can't be alone*
Driving home beneath the stoplights
They're holding me in suspense
But that's just the way it is I guess
For those of us who move too fast
And I wish that I could say
That I'm wishing you the best
But I can't, but I can't

So I'll write it out on paper to remember every word
For all the things I've lost and found inside of every verse
These are my directions to you:
Please, head north
Voices scream inside of me
Well, Maybe I'm just cursed.
Just like they say, maybe I'm just cursed
I'm always hoping for the best
Maybe I'm just cursed
I'm always hoping for the best
Preparing for the worst
So please, head north
Maybe I was right, maybe I was wrong (So please, head north)
I just can't write another one of these summer songs (So please, head north)
Oh please not another sad, sad song,
You'll find me hanging on every word
It kills you to know that this world, it owes you nothing

So just forget what you're expecting
You'll find half what you deserve

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Transit's song "Please Head North" are filled with raw emotion, exploring themes of loss, longing, and hope. The first verse sets the scene of the singer driving home alone, lost in thought and held in suspense by the stoplights - a metaphor for how life can feel like a constant waiting game. The chorus then introduces the titular phrase "Please, head north," which seemingly serves as a metaphorical direction for moving forward, both physically and emotionally.

The following verses delve deeper into the singer's psyche, highlighting a sense of inner turmoil and self-doubt. The line "Maybe I'm just cursed" suggests a belief in fate or bad luck, while the repetition of "Maybe I was right, maybe I was wrong" speaks to the uncertainty and second-guessing that can haunt us in the aftermath of a difficult situation or decision.

The closing lines of the song offer a somewhat resigned outlook on life, acknowledging that the world owes us nothing, yet still holding onto hope for some measure of happiness and fulfillment. Overall, the lyrics paint a complex portrait of a person grappling with their past and present, struggling to find direction but still searching for some measure of solace.
