Who We Are
Andrea Turk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We talked about the world we didn't care
And we were finding out ways in trying to escape this Hell
It was good until God told me to leave
He offered me a hand
But then I took His arm and never gave it back, He was sure to steal from me
Flashing car lights, car lights
Crashing down from the high
Is this who we are (who we are)
We're damsels, damsels and juveniles
Always, running from petty crimes
And with you, I don't feel alone anymore
We're broken, broken and melancholy
Always, escaping reality
And with you, I don't feel alone anymore
Wakin' up at 3 am
I hit you up with things I'd never share
And you were finding out ways in trying to say you're there
And we were driving all night, all night
Flashing car lights, car lights
Crashing down from the high
Is this who we are (who we are)
We're damsels, damsels and juveniles
Always, running from petty crimes
And with you, I don't feel alone anymore
We're broken, broken and melancholy
Always, escaping reality
And with you, I don't feel alone anymore
Whoa, whoa (who we are)
Whoa, whoa (who we are)
Whoa, whoa (who we are)
Whoa, whoa (who we are)
We're damsels, damsels and juveniles
Always, running from petty crimes
And with you, I don't feel alone anymore
We're broken, broken and melancholy
Always, escaping reality
And with you, I don't feel alone anymore
We are, damsels and juveniles
We are, broken and melancholy
We are, this is who we are (who we are)
The song "Who We Are" by Andrea Turk is a powerful track that explores themes of escape, loneliness, and identity. In the first verse, the singer is staying up until 3 am, talking with someone about the world and trying to find ways to escape their current situation. However, the mood changes in the second verse when the singer wakes up at 3 am and shares their innermost thoughts with someone. The chorus questions whether these actions and feelings are truly representative of who they are as individuals. They acknowledge that they are both damsels and juveniles, always running from petty crimes, broken and melancholy, always trying to escape reality. But with the other person, they don't feel alone anymore.
The bridge of the song introduces a spiritual element, with the singer stating that God offered them help but they didn't accept it, fearing that He would take something away from them. This could represent a struggle with faith or a distrust in the idea of a higher power. Ultimately, the song ends with a repeated refrain that "this is who we are," suggesting that despite their flaws and struggles, the singer and the person they are with have each other and are coming to terms with their identities.
Overall, "Who We Are" is a poignant and relatable song about trying to find oneself and escape difficult situations while also acknowledging the importance of companionship and connection with others.
