Lyrics
Oh where do you think you're gonna go
Questioning the destination or purpose of the listener.
When you can't sit still no more
Highlighting a restlessness or inability to stay still.
Oh where do you think you're gonna go when you lose your way
Asking where one would go when feeling lost or directionless.
Forget the path you came on
Suggesting forgetting the established path or route.
Don't say you recognize this place
Challenging the listener's familiarity with the surroundings.
All the people, all the faces you can't quite make out
Describing a place with unrecognizable people and faces.
Oh where do you think you're gonna go
Reiterating the question of where one would go when restless.
When you can't sit still no more
Reinforcing the theme of restlessness and the inability to sit still.
Oh where do you think you're gonna go
Repeating the question about the destination in a restless state.
When you can't sit still no more
Continuing the emphasis on restlessness and movement.
Oh where do you think you're gonna go when your crumbs blend in
Asking where one goes when personal contributions blend with surroundings.
With the forest floor
Describing the blending of personal "crumbs" with the environment.
Don't say you recognize this place
Questioning the recognition of a place with unsettling tree behaviors.
All the trees are making faces that don't quite sit right
Depicting trees with facial expressions that feel disconcerting.
And when you lose your way
Returning to the theme of losing one's way and questioning the destination.
Where do you think you're gonna go
Raising the question again about where one would go when lost.
I used to open up that door but I'm wiser than before
Reflecting on past decisions and claiming increased wisdom.
And if I let you in again you might get too comfortable
Expressing reluctance to allow someone back in due to discomfort.
You're saying you'll do better but your record says I can't be sure
Doubting promises of improvement based on past behavior.
So stop coming around here, you're not welcome anymore
Explicitly stating that the person is not welcome anymore.
