This composition delves into the profound theme of an unshakeable attachment to a significant other. The protagonist is haunted by the presence of their loved one, even in their absence - a "shadow" or "ghost" that follows them everywhere. This lingering connection makes it impossible for them to seek new relationships, signifying a deep-seated longing and unresolved feelings. The repeated reference to 'madness' and 'magic' reflects the inexplicable and intense nature of this bond, which ordinary or 'easy' love cannot replicate. The song could also be interpreted as an exploration of the human tendency to cling onto past relationships, even when they have ended, highlighting our innate fear of change and the unknown. Overall, it's a poignant portrayal of enduring love and emotional struggle.
Wherever I Go
Lyrics
I know I could lie but I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go there's a shadow of you
I know I could try looking for something new
But wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
Some people lie but they're looking for magic
Others are quietly going insane
I feel alive when I'm close to the madness
No easy love could ever make me feel the same
I know I could lie, but I won't lie to you
Wherever I go, you're the ghost in the room
I don't even try looking for something new
'Cause wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
Some people try but they can't find the magic
Others get down on their knees and they pray
I come alive when I'm close to the madness
No easy love could ever make me feel the same
Make me feel the same
Make me feel the same, same, same
I know I could lie but I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go there's a shadow of you
I know I could try looking for something new
But wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
Wherever I go, I'll be looking for you, you
Some people pray to their God for some magic
'Cause no easy love could ever make them feel the same
No easy love could ever make me feel the same
Make me feel the same, same, same
I know I could lie but I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go there's a shadow of you
I know I could try looking for something new
But wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
You think it's a lie when I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
Wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
Looking for you, looking for you, ah
