Where We Belong

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we've got miles to go before we can sleep
I said, we've been walking a thin line
You've got one hand on the devil baby and one hand in mine
But don't let go no it's not too late you know
Hold on we're gonna make it if it takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
We're going back where we belong
So hold on we got our wings and we're chasing the wind
Farewell to all the places that we have been
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong
So we'll build temples in our heads
When we've grown frail and all our bones are of lead
We've been walking a winding road
Let's go, no footsteps to follow baby and no signs to guide us home
Don't let go, no it's not too late you know
Hold on we're gonna make it if it takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
Don't fight it we've been running for far too long
We're going back to where we belong
So hold on we got our wings and we're chasing the wind
Farewell to all the places that we have been
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong
See I have to believe that there's more than this seems
More than a soul in a boat in a sea of sinking dreams
And I have to be sure that there's gonna be a cure
'cause somewhere down the line, I lost that part of me that's pure.
But don't you let go yet no it's not too late you know
Hold on we're gonna make it if takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
Don't fight it we've been running for far too long
We're going back to where we belong
Hold on we got our wings and we're chasing the wind
Farewell to all the places that we have been
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong
Hold on we're gonna make it if it takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong
We're going back where we belong
The song "Where We Belong" by Thriving Ivory seems to be about a journey of self-discovery and redemption. The lyrics describe two people who are in a difficult situation where they have one foot in trouble and the other in safety. They are walking a thin line and have been running for far too long. The singer encourages the other person to hold on and not let go because it's not too late to turn things around. The chorus is a message of hope: they will make it if it takes all night, and go back to where they truly belong.
The second verse talks about building temples in their heads when they grow old and tired, to give them direction when the world is confusing. The singer acknowledges that they have been walking a winding road and have no footsteps to follow or signs to guide them. But again, they encourage each other to hold on because they will make it in the end. The bridge expresses a belief that there is more to life than what appears on the surface, some deeper meaning and purpose that they are chasing but have lost sight of.
Overall, "Where We Belong" is a powerful anthem about not giving up on oneself or each other, about fighting for what you believe in and about finding your place in the world. It's a song that inspires hope and courage, and its uplifting melody and catchy rhythm only add to its impact.
