When I Go
Eternal Return: Embracing Life's Circles in 'When I Go'
Lyrics
'Cuz if I go, I will come back
If I depart, I plan to return
And when I go, I'll always come back
Assurance of returning each time I leave
Wherever me tread, already said
Wherever I go, my intentions are already known
That when I go, I'll always come back
Reiteration that upon leaving, I'll always come back
Oh, 'cuz I'm like the breeze, I'm like the river
Comparing self to a breeze and a river, flowing with energy
I flow with the energy
Adapting and moving harmoniously with the surroundings
Gone with the time, gone with the moment
Acknowledging the transient nature of time and moments
Only a memory
Only leaving behind memories
Oh, but it seems to be the things that mean the most to me
Reflecting on the importance of things to the speaker
The ones that I hold close to me
Emphasizing the significance of close relationships
Always were supposed to be
Suggesting that meaningful connections were destined
Yeah, right in front of my eyes
Realization that important things were always in sight
So if I go, I will come back
Reiteration of the intention to return after leaving
And when I go, I'll always come back
Reaffirmation of consistently coming back
Oh, wherever me tread, I already said
Stating that previous intentions are already expressed
That when I go, I'll always come back
Repeating the commitment to return every time
Yes, I'll always come back, I'll always come back
Emphasizing the continuous nature of returning
Oh, wherever me tread, I'll always come back
Reiterating the promise to come back always
Oh, 'cuz I'm like the breeze, I'm like the river
Reiterating the comparison to a breeze and a river
I flow with the energy
Continuing to flow with the energy of life
Gone with the time, gone with the moment
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of time and moments
Only a memory
Highlighting the lasting impact as memories
Oh, but it seems to be the things that mean the most to me
Reflecting on the importance of meaningful things
The ones that I hold close to me
Reiterating the significance of close relationships
Always were supposed to be
Reaffirming that important connections were destined
Whoa, the ones who welcome me home
Recognition of those who welcome the speaker home
So if I go, I will come back
Reiterating the commitment to return if departing
And when I go, I'll always come back
Assurance of consistent returns upon leaving
Oh, wherever me tread, I already said
Expressing that intentions are already communicated
That when I go, I'll always come back
Reaffirmation of always coming back after leaving
Yes, I'll always come back, I'll always come back
Emphasizing the ongoing nature of returning
Oh, wherever me tread, I already said
Reiterating the commitment to return each time
That if I go, I will come back
Reiteration of the plan to return if departing
And when I go, I'll always come back
Confirmation of always coming back after leaving
