Where or When Lyrics

- Meaning
[Verse 1]
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
[Verse 2]
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you were smiling, you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
[Pre-Chorus]
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
[Chorus]
And so it seems that we've met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when?
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
[Chorus]
And so it seems that we've met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when?
[Verse 1: Laufey]
In this section, the lyrics express a feeling of familiarity between the speaker and their partner, despite not being able to recall the specific context or time of their previous encounter. The repetition of familiar elements, such as the clothes and the smile, creates a sense of déjà vu, emphasizing the depth of their connection that feels both new and old simultaneously.
[Verse 2: Laufey]
This verse continues the theme of familiarity, focusing on the repetition of physical and emotional details from past interactions. The speaker reflects on how these elements, which were present during an earlier meeting, now seem to recur. The inability to recall the exact time or place of their previous connection highlights the mysterious and profound nature of their bond.
[Pre-Chorus: Laufey]
The pre-chorus introduces the idea that events which seemed to occur for the first time are now happening again, reinforcing the theme of déjà vu. It suggests that the repetition of these experiences is not merely coincidental but a significant aspect of their relationship, deepening the sense of emotional continuity.
[Chorus: Laufey]
The chorus crystallizes the feeling of having encountered the partner before, encompassing shared laughter and love. The rhetorical question "But who knows where or when?" underscores the central mystery of their connection, leaving the exact origin of their bond ambiguous while affirming its emotional weight.
[Instrumental Break: Laufey]
The instrumental break provides a reflective pause, allowing the listener to absorb the emotive content of the lyrics. It enhances the sense of timelessness and continuity, reinforcing the song's contemplative mood.
[Pre-Chorus: Laufey]
Repeating the pre-chorus reinforces the theme of recurring experiences and emotional echoes, solidifying the sense of déjà vu that permeates the song.
[Chorus: Laufey]
The final chorus reiterates the themes of previous encounters and shared emotions, concluding with the lingering question of "where or when," encapsulating the song’s exploration of timeless and ungraspable connections.
