Could It Be
אסתר רדא Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could it be
That the stars covered my eyes
Could it be
That I saw it all
Could it be
That I heard the floor speaking
Could it be
It spoke to the wall

Could it be
That I've been here before
There's no other place I can go to
Could it be
That you're flying with no wings
That I'm always right there with you

I'm feeling that I'm falling
Can someone hold my hand
And show me how to stand
I'm loosing it again
I'm feeling that I'm falling
Alone no haloing friend
Hope its not that time
I'll reach the end

Could it be
This is not the first time we met
Lost souls in a desert
Could it be
That the moon touched my skin
Is that the way love is measured

Could it be
That your smile is my heart
And when you're sad I'm dying
Could it be




That I've never felt in love
All my life I was actually lying

Overall Meaning

In this song, אסתר רדא expresses her doubts and confusion about her emotions towards her significant other. She questions if her perception of things is clouded by her love for her partner, wondering if the stars covering her eyes might be blinding her to the truth. She questions if she has heard things that she hasn't and if she has seen things that she shouldn't have, trying to understand why she is so drawn to this person. She contemplates the possibility of having been here before and not having anywhere else to go, leading to her feeling like she's falling and needs someone to hold her hand and show her how to stand.


The second verse of the song continues with the theme of questioning the nature of her relationship with her partner. She wonders if they are lost souls in a desert, drawing on the idea that they are wandering aimlessly without direction. She questions if love is measured by the touch of the moon on her skin and if her partner's smile is truly the key to her heart. She further expresses her emotional attachment by saying that when her partner is sad, she feels like she's dying. She concludes the song by admitting that she's never really been in love before and admitting that she had been lying to herself.
