Where Do I Go

Lizzy McAlpine's song 'Where Do I Go' delves into the emotional turmoil and confusion that follows the end of a significant relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is usually confident and self-assured, capable of navigating both physical and emotional landscapes with ease. The protagonist describes their ability to find their way by looking at stars and moving through a dark room, symbolizing their usual clarity and sense of direction. However, this confidence is shattered when it comes to dealing with the aftermath of a breakup.

The recurring question, 'Where do I go without you?' underscores the protagonist's deep sense of loss and disorientation. Despite their usual self-reliance, they find themselves lost and confused without their partner. The metaphor of being 'alone on this island' and drinking to avoid thinking about the lost relationship highlights the isolation and coping mechanisms people often resort to when dealing with heartache. The song captures the internal conflict of wanting to reach out and express feelings of love and longing, yet being unsure of those very emotions.
