Where Do We Go From Here
Yoko Ono/IMA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
If we sweep the bottom of the rivers
We find bodies that shouldn't be there
If we sweep the courts and offices
We find heads that shouldn't be there
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well
Cats on the hill, ready to kill
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
If we sweep the shelters and asylums
We'll find women that shouldn't be there
If we sweep the dark streets and alleys
We'll find dealers that shouldn't be there
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well
Cats on the hill, ready to kill
Why do we miss you so if you're
Just a speck of dust?
Are we getting tired of blood and horror?
Are we getting ready for God and terror?
Are we getting tired of blood and horror?
Are we getting ready for God and terror?
Are we getting tired of blood and horror?
(Where do we go from here?)
Are we getting ready for God and terror?
(Where do we go from here?)
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well
Cats on the hill, ready to kill
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well
Cats on the hill, ready to kill
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well
Cats on the hill, ready to kill
Ready to, ready to, ready to
Ready to, ready to, ready to
Where do we go from here?
The song "Where Do We Go From Here?" by Yoko Ono/IMA is an enigmatic and thought-provoking piece that speaks to the state of the world and the uncertainty of the future. The repeated question "Where do we go from here?" suggests a sense of confusion and uncertainty about what comes next. The lyrics describe a world filled with violence and horror, with bodies in the rivers, heads in the courts, and women in the shelters who should not be there. The imagery is disturbing and unsettling, and the repetition of the chorus adds to the sense of unease.
The lines "Dingdong hell, pussy in the well, cats on the hill, ready to kill" create a chaotic and surreal atmosphere that adds to the sense of unease. The repetition of the phrase "ready to kill" suggests a sense of danger and violence lurking beneath the surface of everyday life. The final lines of the song suggest that perhaps we are getting tired of the blood and horror, but it's unclear whether we are getting ready for God and terror or for something else entirely. The lyrics leave the listener with a sense of uncertainty and a question that remains unanswered: where do we go from here?
