Bigger Than Me
Aselin Debison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything's so blurry
In a world that's bigger than me
When there's no one to talk to
I can lay mine on you
You will always comfort me
For every step that's held me back
For every second chance I've had
To tell me
That you love me
That you need me
That you'll find me whenever I get lost inside my head
That you'll save me
Completely
From a world that's bigger than me
In the blink of an eye
You make everything right
No more dark cloud following
When I've got empty pockets
And when I'm stuck in traffic
I can tell it's you just by the ring
For every corner cut too fast
For every time that I came last
You always seem to, to find a way
To tell me
That you love me
That you need me
That you'll find me whenever I get lost inside my head
That you'll save me
Completely
From a world that's bigger than me
When I look around me
Everything's so blurry
In a world that's bigger than me
But you love me
But you need me
But you'll find me whenever I get lost inside my head
But you'll save me
Completely
From a world that's bigger than me
But you need me
But you'll find me whenever I get lost inside my head
But you'll save me
Completely
From a world that's bigger than me
From a world that's bigger than me...
Aselin Debison’s song “Bigger Than Me” is a powerful reflection on the comfort and reassurance that we experience when we have someone to rely on in times of darkness and uncertainty. The song begins by describing the overwhelming feelings of confusion and disorientation that can come from living in a world that often feels too large and complex for a single individual to navigate alone. The lyrics suggest that, in these moments, it can feel like nothing is clear or in focus - everything is “blurry” and hard to make sense of.
However, Aselin also points to the power of love and connection in these moments of doubt and vulnerability. When there is no one else around to talk to, she knows that she can always “lay [her] mind” on the person that she loves, who will “always comfort [her].” It is this sense of assurance and protection that is central to the song’s message - when we feel lost and uncertain, having someone to provide us with guidance and support can make all the difference.
Throughout the song, Aselin reflects on the ways in which her partner has helped her to move forward in life - from providing her with second chances to helping her pick herself up after difficult moments. However, while these concrete gestures of support are important, it is the constant reminder that she is loved and valued that truly makes the difference. By the end of the song, the lyrics have shifted to emphasize this message of love and reassurance, with Aselin repeating the phrases “But you love me, But you need me” as a way of expressing gratitude and appreciation for all that her loved one has done.
