Where Do I Go?
Walker Daniels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Follow the river
Where do I go
Follow the gulls
Where is the something
Where is the someone
That tells me why I live and die
Where do I go
Follow the children
Where do I go
Follow their smiles
Is there an answer
In their sweet faces
That tells me why I live and die
Follow the wind song
Follow the thunder
Follow the neon in young lovers' eyes
Down to the gutter
Up to the glitter
Into the city
Where the truth lies
Where do I go
Follow my heartbeat
Where do I go
Follow my hand
Where will they lead me
And will I ever
Discover why I live and die
Why do I live (beads, flowers)
Why do I die (freedom, happiness)
Tell my why (beads, flowers)
Tell me where (freedom, happiness)
Tell my why (beads, flowers)
Tell me why (freedom!)

By following their gut, heart, and hands, the singer is hopeful that they may one day discover the beauty and meaning of life. Overall, the message is one of hope and the search for enlightenment and understanding.

CLAY WALKER (2010) – WHERE DO I GO FROM YOU(Traducción)
I gas up my truck and I drive into town
Lleno el depósito de mi camioneta y conduzco hasta la ciudad
But I spend all my time just running around
Pero paso todo el tiempo dando vueltas
Trying to shake this negative mood I'm in
Tratando de sacudirme este negativo estado de ánimo en que estoy inmerso
I've nowhere to go if I wanna get down
No hay ningún lugar al que ir si quiero apearme
All the usual suspects are hanging around
Todos los sospechosos habituales andan por ahí
But after a round or two, it was just a another day again
Pero después de una ronda o dos, sólo fue un día más de nuevo
For a minute or two I'll get you off of my mind
Durante un minuto o dos te sacaré de mi cabeza
But you keep coming back to me every time
Pero siempre sigues volviendo a mí
Where do I go to get over the fact
¿Dónde voy para superar el hecho
That you got on a plane and you ain't coming back?
De que te subiste a un avión y no vas a regresar?
I said what I said and you did what you had to do
Dije lo que dije y tú hiciste lo que tenías que hacer
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth?
¿Dónde tiene que ir un hombre para superar la verdad?
Where do I go from you?
¿Dónde me alejo de ti?
I bury myself in my job all day
Me sumerjo en mi trabajo todo el día
Just trying to get lost in the usual ways
Sólo tratando de perderme en las costumbres habituales
Smiling and laughing and joking around with the guys
Sonriendo y riendo y bromeando con los chicos
Gotta do something to deaden the pain
Tengo que hacer algo para mitigar el dolor
So I stare out the window just watching the rain
Así que clavo la mirada en la ventana sencillamente viendo la lluvia
But all I can see in the haze is the gray of your eyes
Pero todo lo que puedo ver en la bruma es el gris de tus ojos
So what do I do with all the pieces of you in me?
¿Entonces qué hago con todos los pedazos tuyos que están en mí?
If you're never coming back, set me free
Si nunca vas a regresar, libérame
Where do I go to get over the fact
¿Dónde voy para superar el hecho
That you got on a plane and you ain't coming back?
De que te subiste a un avión y no vas a regresar?
I said what I said and you did what you had to do
Dije lo que dije y tú hiciste lo que tenías que hacer
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth?
¿Dónde tiene que ir un hombre para superar la verdad?
Where do I go from you? Where do I go from you?
¿Dónde me alejo de ti? ¿Dónde me alejo de ti?
Where do I go to get over the fact
¿Dónde voy para superar el hecho
That you got on a plane and you ain't coming back?
De que te subiste a un avión y no vas a regresar?
I said what I said and you did what you had to do
Dije lo que dije y tú hiciste lo que tenías que hacer
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth?
¿Dónde tiene que ir un hombre para superar la verdad?
Where do I go from you? Where do I go from you?
¿Dónde me alejo de ti? ¿Dónde me alejo de ti?
