Archabald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is no promise of safety, but I will stay right by your side
The day will come when these broken bone will come to life
And all the world will fall away, and these darkened eyes will see again will see again
The way it was before
So draw tight your coat, cause that cold doubt could sway your mind
The day will come when these broken bone will come to life
And all the world will fall away, and these darkened eyes will see again will see again
The way it was before
Come back to me my love, before we've lost our minds
The day will come when these broken bone will come to life
And all the world will fall away, and these darkened eyes will see again will see again
The way it was before
The first stanza of Archabald's song "Promises" reflects on their relationship with others and their own imperfections as they move forward in life. The singer acknowledges their flaws and limitations but is grateful for the support they receive. They invite someone to take a risk with them and move into the unknown together. They know that there are no guarantees for safety, but they pledge to be there for one another regardless of the circumstances. This speaks to the power of human connection and the ability to depend on each other during difficult times.
In the second stanza, the lyrics take on a more existential tone as the singer contemplates on the end of life. They express the hope that when they die, their broken bones will come back to life, and all the worries of the world will disappear. They will see the world in a new way and feel alive again. The song's message is about the resilience of the human spirit in the face of challenges and how the power of love can help us overcome obstacles.
