Aiza Seguerra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then why can't I paint you
The words will never show
The you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go
There's no one home but you
And when my love
For life is running dry
You'll come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places
At one time I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way
If the world should start revolving
Spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one
The stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away
The lyrics of Aiza Seguerra's song "If" is an expression of deep love and devotion. The song utilizes several metaphors and analogies to convey the depth of the songwriter's affection. The song starts with the simile "If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you?", expressing the inadequacy of words or pictures to fully capture the essence of the love they are trying to portray. The songwriter hopes to express their love, but ultimately it falls short; the person they love is more than what any words or paintings could ever convey.
Seguerra continues to use powerful metaphors such as "If a face could launch a thousand ships, then where am I to go?" to show the strength of their love. They feel so hopelessly devoted that they have nowhere else to go or anyone else to turn to. The song continues to express undying love with phrases like "I'd spend the end with you", and "Then you and I would simply fly away". This love is so deep that it can survive the end of the world, showing that their love is eternal and nothing can break it.
Overall, this song serves as an expression of eternal love and devotion. Even though words and metaphors may never fully capture what this love means, these lyrics serve as an expression of how powerful and unyielding love can be.
Line by Line Meaning
If a picture paints a thousand words
Trying to express how much the person means to them, since a picture might convey a lot of emotions
Then why can't I paint you
One can't express their emotions to the person even though they want to
The words will never show
Words aren't enough to show the emotions, it requires more
The you I've come to know
The true identity of the person, and not just looking at the surface level
If a face could launch a thousand ships
A face that is captivating enough could attract a lot of people
Then where am I to go
Feeling left out since there is only one person that is captivating enough
There's no one home but you
Feeling that home is where the person they love is, and not just a place
You're all that's left me too
Feeling content with just having that one person since they mean everything to them
And when my love
As time passes and they grow old together
For life is running dry
Their love for life is slowly fading away
You'll come and pour yourself on me
The person they love will be there for them in their darkest times, and provide them with unconditional love and support
If a man could be two places
Exploring the idea of being together all the time, and not having to go separate ways ever
At one time I'd be with you
Being with the person they love regardless of the circumstances
Tomorrow and today
Being with the person today, tomorrow, and always
Beside you all the way
Never leaving the person's side, and being beside them no matter what happens
If the world should start revolving
Being ready to face the end of the world
Spinning slowly down to die
The world coming to an end
I'd spend the end with you
Being with the person they love even at the end of the world
And when the world was through
After the world ends, they will still be together
Then one by one
As time passes after the world ends
The stars would all go out
All the wonders of the world would disappear one by one
Then you and I would simply fly away
Being together and flying away to a new beginning, starting fresh
