Also in “Where I’m Going,” INDOOR FRIENDS prefers to concentrate entirely on self-discovery. The musical composition analyses “a point in life when it is unclear what answer is to be sought, yet some kind of movement is required nonetheless. This is precisely when there is an honest admission of confusion and when instead of resisting it, ‘INDOOR FRIENDS embrace it.’” This affords the musical composition an element of serenity.

A really powerful theme running through the lyrics is being unsure about where one starts and where one will finish up, but still needing to carry forward. INDOOR FRIENDS demonstrates that one does not necessarily have to have any clarity at all before taking the next step. There is trust and confidence expressed through the lyrics and through music, and not necessarily control.

Dependence and learning how to be alone is another theme in this song. INDOOR FRIENDS is dependent on other people for response and interpretation, and this song shows how there is an awareness about how self-esteem has to come from within. This is both very vulnerable and very empowering. Vulnerable in its depiction of how uncomfortable self-analyses can be, however.

Images of nature such as rivers and oceans are crucial to song lyrics. They symbolize movement, distance, and depth. To cross a river symbolizes hard work and transformation, while reaching the oceans symbolizes a bigger achievement and is not defined. All these images are used to indicate progress without clarity by INDOOR FRIENDS that progress is important and not its endpoint.

Later on in the song comes the lyrics about standing at a new edge looking for a horizon. There is a knowledge of pride at how far the journey has come, mixed with the fact that this is only the start. It is the optimism in INDOOR FRIENDS that shines through in this aspect of the song, smiling through the knowing that there are inevitably challenges to come. 

The final part of the lyrics is about embracing the darkness and the wonder that comes with what’s found at the bottom. While the lyrics could be interpreted as hopeless, the curiosity that pervades feels very adventurous. INDOOR FRIENDS offers a journey of self-discovery that encompasses uncertainty, fear, and doubts, but also growth and darkness. In sum, the lyrics of ‘Where I’m Going’ offer a genuine reflection on the struggle between following the journey of self-discovery.
