Where Are You Now?
the black and white Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd be around
To pick me up on my way down
I thought my feet were planted
Firmly on the ground
'Til one day my whole world came unwound
And like a ball of yarn
Kept neatly on a spool
Of this broken hearted fool
And what once was the exception
Now seems to be the rule
And there's a burnin' question
A fire in my mind
You always had the answers
The ones I couldn't find
So all I'm askin'
Is where are you now?
What Father Time would sell me
I'd take it all
If only you'd come back around
But then if time should spell me
Well I might take the call
But there's no way of knowin' where I'm bound
So here comes another
Fine mess I've got into
And if I knew which way to turn
I'd still turn to you
So if everything is said and done
What am I supposed to do?
And that's the burnin' question
On fire in my mind
You always had the answers for me
Time after time
So all I'm askin'
Is where are you now?
All I'm askin'
Is where are you now?
The Black and White's song "Where Are You Now?" talks about feeling lost and abandoned after relying on someone who was always there for support. The lyrics reflect on taking this person for granted and assuming they would always be there. However, after going through a rough patch, the singer realizes the importance of this person and wishes they were still around. The imagery of a ball of yarn being neatly held together by this individual emphasizes their crucial role in the singer's life, keeping them from completely unraveling when faced with difficulties.
The singer admits to making mistakes and getting into a messy situation, but still feels lost without the guidance and support of this person. The burning question that is constantly on their mind is, "Where are you now?" It's a cry for help, a call for the person's return, and a realization of how important they were in the singer's life.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of loss and regret that comes with taking people for granted and only realizing their worth once they're gone. It's a reminder to cherish the people we have in our lives, and not to wait until it's too late to appreciate them.
Line by Line Meaning
Maybe I took for granted
Perhaps I assumed too much
You'd be around
That you would always be present
To pick me up on my way down
To help me in difficult times
I thought my feet were planted
I believed I was secure
Firmly on the ground
Stable and grounded
'Til one day my whole world came unwound
Until my world fell apart
And like a ball of yarn
And like tangled thread
Kept neatly on a spool
That was previously organized
You held the life together
You held everything in place
Of this broken-hearted fool
Of this foolish, heartbroken person
And what once was the exception
And what was once unique
Now seems to be the rule
Is now the norm
And there's a burning question
And there's a question that eats away at me
A fire in my mind
A consuming thought
You always had the answers
You always knew what to do
The ones I couldn't find
That I couldn't figure out
So all I'm askin'
So all I want to know is
Is where are you now?
Where are you in this moment?
What Father Time would sell me
Whatever the passing of time might offer
I'd take it all
I'd accept it all
If only you'd come back around
If only you returned
But then if time should spell me
But if time should dictate my fate
Well, I might take the call
Then, I might answer the call
But there's no way of knowin' where I'm bound
But I have no idea where I'm headed
So here comes another
So here comes something else
Fine mess I've got into
Another fine mess I've made
And if I knew which way to turn
And if I knew what to do
I'd still turn to you
I would come to you for help
So if everything is said and done
So if everything has been said and done
What am I supposed to do?
What should I do now?
And that's the burning question
And that is the question that keeps me up at night
On fire in my mind
That fills my mind with anxiety
You always had the answers for me
You always knew what to do for me
Time after time
Again and again
So all I'm askin'
So all I want to know is
Is where are you now?
Where are you in this moment?
All I'm askin'
That's all I want to know
Is where are you now?
Where are you in this moment?
