We're So Lost
Voom Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't you see
Where we're going
We're so lost
Will we ever
Get back up again
Can't you see
What we're doing
We're so lost

We're in danger
We're losing...

We're so lost we're in danger
We're so lost we're in danger

Hey boy, hey boy
Down in your heart
Hey girl hey girl
Down in your heart
Do you really know
Do you really know

We're so lost we're in danger
We're so lost we're in danger

Will we ever get back
Will we ever get back
Will we ever get back

Will we ever get found

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Voom's song "We're So Lost" express the feeling of confusion, doubt, and insecurity that people might experience when they are lost, both literally and figuratively. The opening lines of the song ask the listener to acknowledge the direction that they are heading and the uncertainty of the path they are taking. Voom sings, "Can't you see where we're going? We're so lost. Will we ever get back up again?" These lines suggest that the person is aware of their current situation, but doesn't know how to get out of it.

The next lines, "Can't you see what we're doing? We're so lost. We're in danger. We're losing..." further emphasize the gravity of the situation. The repetition of "We're so lost we're in danger" is a powerful reminder that the person needs to take action before it's too late. In the chorus, Voom calls out to "Hey boy, hey girl" and asks if they really know what they are doing. This suggests that the song is about more than just getting physically lost, but also about feeling lost in life, unsure of one's path and purpose.

The final lines of the song express a hope for finding a way back, both literally and figuratively: "Will we ever get back? Will we ever get found?" The uncertainty in these questions leaves the listener with a sense of vulnerability and also encourages them to reflect on what they can do to find their way back, whether that means asking for help, taking a break to reset, or finding a new direction altogether.
