Lissie – Everywhere I Go

• 0
  General Comment:It's not a clear love song, it's an abstract song. She talks about choice we have to make in life, about all the anxiety and worry you have about choosing the wrong path and getting stuck.
  It's about being so confused and tired and worried that you don't understand where you're going and are too scared to even make a move.
  In the end she's letting her senses go, trusting her instincts and forgetting the fear. The angels will bring her home no matter what.
  
  This can be about relationship&love, about literally going home, about a long trip, about choosing a career or whatever seems to be important in your life.
  Beautiful song.

  My Interpretation:Well its clearly a love song.
  
  I beleive she is describing the feeling of complete vulnerability to a lover.
  
  In the chorus, she repeats:
  I fall on my knees (meaning: begging, at your mercy)
  Tell me how's the way to be (meaning: tell me what you want)
  Tell me how's the way to go(meaning: tell me how to act)
  
  Then in the rest of the song she explains the saddness and anxiety she feels for making her self so vulnerable. And how all she wants is some form of recepications.
  
  The refrence to danger is how she feels, and the refrence to angels is that she hopes for redemtion or relief from this terriable way she feels.

  General Comment:It seems like a lot of lissie's songs have references to "home" and various types of religious/christian experiences... any insight on this?

  Lyric Correction:Just so you know, these lyrics probably ARE right for one version, but the song has a lot of repititions, so she sings it a few different, equally beautiful ways. One of the shortened ones is shown above. Anyway, her voice is magic. I'm not quite sure what the song means--I always think of Dollhouse (of course) when I hear it, and it's such an appropriate backstory for the song that I never thought of another.

  Lyric Correction:These lyrics are wrong.
  
  I believe it goes;
  
  And I fall on my knees
  Tell me how's the way to be
  Tell me how's the way to go
  Tell me all that i should know
  
  And I fall on my knees
  Tell me how's the way to go
  Tell me how's the way to be
  To evoke some empathy
  
  Danger will follow me now
  Everywhere I go
  Angels will call on me
  And take me to my home
  Well this tired mind
  Just wants to be lead home
  
  And I fall on my knees
  Tell me how's the way to go
  Tell me how's the way to see
  Show me all that I could be
  
  And I fall on my knees
  Tell me how's the way to be, yeah
  Tell me how's the way to go
  Tell me why I feel so low
  
  Danger will follow me now
  Everywhere I go
  Angels will call on me
  And take me to my home
  Well these tired eyes
  Just want to remain closed
  
  I don't see clearly, can't feel nothing no
  Can't you hear me?
  
  And I fall on my knees
  And angels will call on me
  Now everywhere I go
  Angels will call on me
  And take me to my home
  
  And angel will fall on me
  Everywhere I walk
  Angels will call on me
  And take me to my home
  
  And angels will call on me
  Now everywhere I go
  Angels will follow me
  Now lead me to my home
