Promised Land
Annalise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since you're away there is nothing to hold me
Love for life is gone
Beg you to stay I need someone to show me
My love is the only one

I wanna stay tonight
I know that you love me like before
Tell me you're gonna trust me now
You'll be mine
Just a while

I need you baby understand
That you are my promised land
Don't you know why
Take a chance and fall in love
I need you baby understand
That you are my promised land
Don't you say goodbye
Take a chance and fall in love

Baby I'm asking you please understand me
I can't let you go




All that I have I will give you believe me
Look at me and you will know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Annalise's song Promised Land appear to be about a plea to a lover who has left. The first stanza speaks of the void left when the person is gone and how the love they had for life seems to have disappeared as well. The singer is begging for the lover to come back and show them that their love is still the only one. The second stanza seems to be a plea for one more chance with the one they love. The singer expresses their desire to stay the night, and their belief that the love they once shared can be trusted again.


The chorus is the main message of the song wherein the singer is trying to make the lover understand that they are their "promised land". They implore the subject to take a chance one more time and fall in love again. The "promised land" could be interpreted as the love that the two share, and also a place of happiness and fulfillment that the singer envisions for herself.


Overall, the lyrics evoke a sense of longing and desperation for the romantic partner to return and rekindle their love. The tone of the song is a mix of sadness and hopefulness, as the singer tries to convince their ex-lover to give them another shot.
