I Don't Relate To Sadness
Adam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i'll lift my eyes up from inside myself
no longer will i see in terms of me
for inside my heart is the promise of spring
and to speak of winter is to speak foolishly

my faith is the substance of things that i've hoped for
and the evidence of things not seen
for inside my heart is the promise of spring
and to speak of winter is to speak foolishly

in my soul there is fire it causes my heart to burn





since i met you, i no longer relate to sadness

Overall Meaning

In "Adam's Song I Don't Relate To Sadness," the singer expresses a newfound sense of hope and optimism. They vow to look beyond themselves and their own problems, recognizing that their heart contains the promise of spring- a metaphor for growth, rebirth, and renewal. The singer declares that speaking of winter- a metaphor for darkness, despair, and emptiness- is foolish because it ignores the potential for change and growth that exists within every heart.


The singer's faith is a crucial component of this transformation. They describe it as the "substance of things that I've hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen." This suggests that their faith is rooted in the belief that positive change is possible, even when it seems unlikely or impossible. Because of this faith, the singer's heart is filled with fire that burns brightly, signaling their newfound sense of purpose and drive.


Finally, the song concludes with the singer acknowledging the transformative power of love. Since meeting someone- presumably a romantic partner- they no longer "relate to sadness." Instead, they feel empowered to embrace the promise of spring, and to look forward to the joyful, growth-oriented future that awaits them.

I like how he's this incredibly powerful being, but with the mind of a 1st grader.

Wicked Shades Productions

well he is technically 9 years old

Leslie Bannister

@Wicked Shades ProductionsI got a feeling that he was born like the day before the events of the movie lol

And it’s really cool how they indeed shown how he became more “adult” along the movie

AD

didn't he came out too early in his cocoon that's why he act like a child?

CAPITAL BURST
