Turn Around
Angie Arsenault Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where you go
Boy there's always something new
Where you've been
There are falling tears for you

Why should you escape the waking truth?
All that you were searching for is here for you
And I will never turn away
No matter what is said and done
This is all I've known for sure
Since this has begun

Because
I have held you in my arms but I realize
I can't keep holding on
I hope you turn around
Before it's too late

Where'd you go?
Boy you're tired, weak and blue
Where've you been?
Was the bloodshed overdo?

Why should I escape the waking truth?
All that I am searching for right now is you

So I will never turn away
No matter what is said and done
This is all I've known for sure
Since you have begun

Because
I have held you in my arms but I realize
I can't keep holding on
I hope you turn around
Before it's too late

It's too late

I have held you in my arms but I realize
I can't keep holding on...

I hope you turn around




Before it's too late
It's too late

Overall Meaning

In Angie Arsenault's song "Turn Around," the singer is trying to get through to someone who has been on a downward spiral. The first verse describes the person's nomadic ways; they are always moving, seeking something new, and leaving behind those who have fallen for them. However, the singer promises to never turn away from them, no matter what they say or do. They urge the person to face the truth and turn around before it is too late.


In the second verse, the singer is directly addressing the person they care for, and they've seen the consequences of the person's actions. They see them as tired, weak, and blue as they've lost their way. The singer wants to keep the person close and, unlike before, the singer is searching for them. The promise of support remains the same, and they ask the person to "turn around before it's too late."


The song is a heartfelt plea for someone to come back to reality and focus on the things that matter. It is about the power of love and support, and how someone can be there for another, even when things seem bleak. It's about not giving up on someone who has lost their way and the desire to help them turn their life around.
