Iris
Alex Goot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven
That I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think
That they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the
Tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think
That they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think
That they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think
That they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
The lyrics to "Iris" by Alex Goot feat. Chad Sugg express a deep longing for emotional connection and vulnerability. The first verse conveys a willingness to sacrifice everything in order to feel the presence of the person they desire. The singer believes that this person understands them on a spiritual level, describing them as the closest thing to heaven they will ever experience. They also express a reluctance to leave their presence and return home.
In the chorus, the lyrics highlight the intensity of the present moment, emphasizing how the singer is solely focused on the person they desire. They want to fully experience and savor this moment, as they fear missing the opportunity to be with them. The singer emphasizes their desire for a genuine connection, detailing their hesitance to show themselves to the world because they doubt they would be understood. They speak of a world where everything is destined to be broken, yet all they want is for the person they long for to truly see and know them.
The second verse delves deeper into the emotional struggle the singer faces. It recognizes the futility of trying to hide the tears and the lies they've been telling themselves. The lyrics imply that the person they desire makes them feel alive, even if it means going through pain and vulnerability. Once again, the chorus repeats the desire to be understood, emphasizing that they just want to be seen for who they truly are.
Overall, the song "Iris" expresses a yearning for a deep connection with someone, a desire to be fully seen and understood amidst a world where everything feels broken.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
I am willing to sacrifice anything and everything just to have physical contact with you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
Because I have a deep belief that you sense my presence in some inexplicable way
You're the closest to heaven
You are the person who brings me the closest to experiencing pure joy and bliss
That I'll ever be
No other person or situation will come closer to the feeling of being in paradise as you do
And I don't wanna go home right now
At this moment, I have no desire to return to my usual surroundings or routine
And all I can taste is this moment
My senses are fully focused on the present, with no thoughts of the past or future
And all I can breathe is your life
Your presence fills the air around me, giving me a sense of vitality and purpose
When sooner or later it's over
Although our time together may come to an end, whether soon or in the distant future
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
I don't want to regret not spending this evening with you, embracing every moment
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
No matter how hard you try, you cannot suppress the tears that refuse to flow from your eyes
Or the moment of truth in your lies
You cannot escape the undeniable reality of your own deceiving statements and actions
When everything feels like the movies
In the midst of this intense emotional connection, it seems as though life mirrors the drama of a film
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
You embrace pain and vulnerability as proof of your existence and the depth of your emotions
I just want you to know who I am
Above all, I desire for you to truly understand and recognize my authentic self

@RobertSetter
My first thought was, "Why haven't these two done this song before?" You two have always been so good at finding songs that suit your harmonies and arranging them accordingly. Also, great shirts!
@anqelflwr6927
2020 and I'm still listening..I hope all my memories came back..
@potatogirl6812
I'm watching this 10 years later again. Thank you for introducing me to an incredible band that I still listens to, and even got to see live. 😊
@whatsociallife467
Chad Sugg is seriously underrated.
They sound amazing together!
@jmoney0448
Alex’s warble on “know you’re alive” at 1:37 is still one of the best set of notes I’ve ever heard sung.
@elikirk2800
This is the only cover I've seen of this song that captures the beauty and intensity of the original.
@RootBeerWolfDog
This cover is simply amazing. I love the original but this blew me away. Alex, as always, is amazing, and I was also really impressed with Chad's performance. There was such pure emotion in their voices, you could tell they were really into the song. And I was also impressed to see they imitated the instrumental in the original, many people skip past that part when covering the song, but you guys did great! And the harmony, at 2:12-it sounded like angels. Beautiful, both of you.
@sparklevampFTW
I'm so glad he covered this. I've been waiting for this song from him ever since I first started listening. ♥
@freeederique
This cover is so amazing. What I love about you so much is that I can actually feel your emotions through out the entire song. You just put a lot of feeling and love in your covers, I love it so much.
