Arena
W&W Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know where I'm going,
But I can't wait to get there,
All I know is, I'm just going

I ran away from home last night, gone forever
I was running for my life
And I've heard the words of what I should be
Live, work, die, I am the orphan of the night

Take me down, I'm coming home, the road to ruins
Inside the pleasure dome
Take me down, I'm coming home, arena of pleasures
Where I belong

I'm in the eye of my rage,
Where no hurricane dies

I'm in the eye of my rage,
Where the hurricane lies
Oh, a storm's in my eyes
And like the beast that's in my soul,
I'm the restless child
Ah mama, I'm running for my life

I was sixteen going nowhere,
Will I see seventeen alive
And I was running from the nightmare
I stand at the promised land with fire in my eyes
I'm at the crossroad of my destiny and desire
Oh, God, what will I be
And my obsession is the gasoline to feed my fire
Oh it's burning in me





Don't waste the tears on my wasted years
Mama I'm outta here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to W&W's song "Arena" express the feeling of being lost and aimless while seeking a place to belong. The opening line "I don't know where I'm going, but I can't wait to get there, all I know is I'm just going" suggests that the singer is on a journey, without any particular destination, but with an eagerness to keep moving forward. The following lines reveal that the singer has run away from home, possibly due to a difficult or abusive situation, and is seeking refuge from the pain and fear that haunt them.


The chorus of the song speaks to the singer's search for a sense of purpose and belonging, represented by the "arena of pleasures" and the "pleasure dome." The repetition of the phrase "take me down, I'm coming home" reinforces the theme of seeking refuge and belonging, as the singer yearns for a place where they can feel accepted and comfortable.


The lyrics also suggest a deeper struggle within the singer, as they grapple with anger, restlessness, and "obsession." The phrase "I'm in the eye of my rage, where no hurricane dies" speaks to a sense of powerful, destructive force within the singer, which they may fear or struggle to control. The mention of gasoline feeding the fire of the singer's obsession suggests that their sense of purpose may come at a price, driving them to pursue their desires and goals without regard for consequences.
