Lyrics
Where are you going, I don't mind
Expressing indifference about the destination of the person being addressed.
I've killed my world and I've killed my time
Acknowledging personal losses and the passage of time.
So where do I go? What will I see?
Pondering the future and what experiences lie ahead.
I see many people coming after me
Observing the presence of many people following the speaker.
So where are you going to, I don't mind
Reiterating the indifference to the destination of the person addressed.
If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
Expressing a fear of death if one lives too long.
So I will follow you wherever you go
Committing to follow the addressed person wherever they go.
If your offered hand is still open to me
Seeking acceptance by expressing a willingness to reconnect if the other person is open.
Strangers on this road we are on
Acknowledging a shared journey with someone unknown.
We are not two, we are one
Emphasizing unity and oneness despite being strangers.
So you've been where I've just come
Noting that the addressee has been where the speaker has just arrived.
From the land that brings losers on
Referring to a place that brings misfortune or failure.
So we will share this road we walk
Committing to sharing the journey and being cautious in speech.
And mind our mouths and beware our talk
Emphasizing the importance of being mindful in conversation.
'Til peace we find, tell you what I'll do
Promising to share belongings until peace is found.
All the things I own I will share with you
Committing to sharing possessions with the addressee.
And, if I feel tomorrow like I feel today
Expressing a willingness to share even in the future.
We'll take what we want and give the rest away
Anticipating taking what is needed and giving the rest away.
Strangers on this road we are on
Reiterating the shared journey of being strangers.
We are not two, we are one
Reaffirming unity despite being perceived as two individuals.
Holy man and holy priest
Referring to individuals with spiritual roles and the impact of love on the speaker.
This love of life makes me weak at my knees
Describing the vulnerability induced by the love of life.
And when we get there, make your play
Encouraging action when the destination is reached.
'Cause soon I fear you're gonna carry us away
Expressing fear of being taken away soon.
And a promised lie you made us believe
Reflecting on broken promises and deception.
For many men there is so much grief
Highlighting the pervasive grief experienced by many.
And my mind is proud but it aches with rage
Acknowledging a proud mind burdened with rage.
And, if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
Expressing a fear of death if one lives too long.
Strangers on this road we are on
Reiterating the shared journey of being strangers.
We are not two, we are one
Reaffirming unity despite being perceived as two individuals.
Strangers on this road we are on
Reiterating the shared journey of being strangers.
We are not two, we are one
Reaffirming unity despite being perceived as two individuals.
