The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Follow Me" by the artist "Transit"

Transit's "Follow Me" tells the story of a fleeting romance during a trip abroad. The lyrical hero is caught in a whirlwind of new experiences: traveling with friends, changing time zones, constant fun, and of course, new love. He meets a girl who, like him, is not looking for a serious relationship and prefers to live in the moment.

The chorus "Follow me, follow me into the night. Why ask 'why'?" reflects the hero's desire to surrender to his feelings without thinking about the consequences. He invites the girl to share this night with him without asking unnecessary questions.

However, sadness is hidden behind the carefree facade. The hero understands that their romance is just an episode and they have no future. Addressing the girl ("You hold your drink like it's slowly killing you"), he shows that he sees her pain and desire to hide from reality. Despite this, he can't offer her anything other than a temporary escape from loneliness.

At the end of the song, the hero returns home alone, their "long-distance love" turns into "long-distance friendship." The final lines "Don't talk to me about the future 'cause we don't have one. This is my love song. This is how it ends" emphasizes the bitterness of parting and the realization that this romance remains just a memory.

Abroad adventure with a few close friends

Took an eight hour flight over the Atlantic Ocean

Jetlagged and lovesick for days on end

Wrapped up in the music we sang and we sang

Follow me, follow me into the night

Why even ask why?

Why even ask why?

Follow me, follow me just for the night

Why even ask why?

Why don't we just try?

Why even ask why?

Met this beautiful girl, she loved to pretend

And joke about the future we'd never spend

Pulling at my heartstrings, she played and she wins

This is my love song, this is how it ends

Follow me, follow me into the night

Why even ask why?

Why even ask why?

Follow me, follow me just for the night

Why even ask why?

Why don't we just try?

Why even ask why?

Looking for love like it ever gets easy

Heard you were lonely enough to stay with me

Go if you want to be lovesick and lonely

I'll be waiting on you

I'll be waiting on you

You're holding your drink like it's killing you slowly

Holding a smile like I don't know the story

Go if you want to be lovesick and lonely

I'll be waiting on you

I'll be waiting on you

Diana, you're history ain't much a mystery

Buried your worries in bruises and bed sheets

Go if you want to be lovesick and lonely

I'll be waiting on you

Come on and tell me the truth

The story unfolds with the lies that you told me

Love is a dream; I'm waking up slowly

Go if you want to be lovesick and lonely

I'll be waiting on you

I'll be waiting 'til you say goodbye

Follow me, follow me into the night

Why even ask why?

Why even ask why?

Follow me, follow me just for the night

Why even ask why?

Why don't we just try?

Why even ask why?

Our long distant love turned to long distant friends

As I flew back home alone again

Don't talk about the future cause it's nothing we can spend

This is my love song, this is how it ends
