What It's Like
Andain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me do you know what it takes
Stop my heart
Don't let it break
Is it true that you did what you said
And it's hard for me to see you for what you are
Hold my breath, hold me down
Take the hand of god and lead me to drown
And it's fine to say that it′s not real
Well maybe I won′t run or I won't feel
Heaven won′t ever forgive
Making it hurt when you see
My every day my every night
I hide I hide I say why
The lyrics to Andain's song "What It's Like" seem to be addressing a sudden and unexpected change in one's life. The opening lines, "Do you know what it's like / When your world seems to change overnight / And it feels like the earth could break / Tell me do you know what it takes" convey the shock and uncertainty of such a change. The lyrics then turn to pleading with a potential lover to not break the singer's heart, asking if the actions promised will indeed be followed through. However, despite this desire for connection, the singer seems to struggle with distance, saying "it's hard for me to see you so far / And it's hard for me to see you for what you are." The bridge describes a feeling of suffocation and a desire for release, with the singer seemingly accepting the possibility of drowning. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer hides from their pain and confusion, asking "why?"
Overall, the song seems to be grappling with feelings of abrupt change and the confusion and pain that can accompany it. The lyrics also address struggles with emotional distance and a yearning for intimacy and connection, which may be complicated by the singer's confusion and pain.

Do you know what it's like
Have you ever experienced the feeling
When your world seems to change overnight
When everything in your life suddenly turns upside down
And it feels like the earth could break
When it seems like the foundation of your life is crumbling
Tell me do you know what it takes
Do you understand the effort and courage needed to survive in such situations
Stop my heart
Prevent my heart from breaking
Don't let it break
Ensure that my heart does not shatter into pieces
Is it true that you did what you said
Did you actually fulfill your promises
And it's hard for me to see you so far
It's difficult for me to accept the distance between us
And it's hard for me to see you for what you are
It's difficult for me to see your true intentions and character
Hold my breath, hold me down
Suffocate me or keep me underwater
Take the hand of god and lead me to drown
Allow God to take me to my demise
And it's fine to say that it's not real
People might say the pain is not genuine
Well maybe I won't run or I won't feel
I might not have the strength to run away or even feel anything anymore
Heaven won't ever forgive
Even God might not pardon me
Making it hurt when you see
It causes pain to whoever observes
My every day my every night
Every moment of my life
I hide I hide I say why
I keep hiding and questioning why this is happening to me

Do you know what it's like
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes
Stop my heart, don't let it break
Is it true that you did what you said?
And it's hard for me to see you so far
And it's hard to see you for what you are
What you are, what you are
Do you know what it's like
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes
Hold me breath, hold me down
Take the hand of god and lead me to drown
And it's fine to say that it's not real
And maybe i won't run or i won't feel
I won't feel, i won't feel
Do you know what it's like
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes
Heaven won't ever forgive
Making it hurt when you see
My every day, my every night
I hide, i hide, i say why
Do you know what it's like
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes, takes...
