Iris
Avril Lavigne ft. The Goo Goo Dolls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
The song "Iris" by Avril Lavigne and Goo Goo Dolls is about the intense desire to connect with someone on a deep level, as well as the fear of being vulnerable and misunderstood by the world. The lyrics reveal a longing to be with someone that feels like heaven, and a reluctance to let go of that moment. The singer's senses are overwhelmed by their desire for this person- all they can taste is the moment they're in, and all they can breathe is the other person's life. However, the singer fears that the rest of the world won't understand the depth of their feelings and the intensity of the moment, which is why they don't want to be seen by the rest of the world.
The chorus of the song repeats the desire to be known on a deep level- "I just want you to know who I am." This is repeated three times to emphasize the importance of being truly seen and understood. The bridge of the song acknowledges the pain and struggle that comes with feeling alive- this person the singer is with is worth the pain and tears they may go through. The pain and vulnerability are proof that they are living and connected to something real.
Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of the human longing for connection and understanding, and the fear and uncertainty that can come with being vulnerable in this way.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
I would be willing to sacrifice anything to be with you forever
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
Because I have a connection with you that is hard to explain
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
Being with you is the closest thing to heaven that I will ever experience
And I don't want to go home right now
I don't want to leave your side at this moment
And all I can taste is this moment
All I can experience and focus on is the present moment with you
And all I can breathe is your life
You are the reason for my existence and every breath I take is a reflection of that
And sooner or later it's over
This moment with you will eventually come to an end, one way or another
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
I don't want to let this moment with you pass by without fully experiencing it
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
There are some emotions that cannot be suppressed or controlled, even if we try
Or the moment of truth in your lies
Even if someone tries to hide or deny the truth, there are moments when it shines through
When everything feels like the movies
Sometimes life can feel like a fairy tale or a romantic film
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
Sometimes we have to go through pain and challenges to truly feel alive and present
I just want you to know who I am
I want you to see and understand the real me, beyond any external factors or expectations
I just want you to know who I am
I want you to see and understand the real me, beyond any external factors or expectations
I just want you to know who I am
I want you to see and understand the real me, beyond any external factors or expectations

@Peterstarzynskitech
One thing about Avril Lavigne is that when she sings other people's songs, she doesn't try to sound like them. She does it as if she made the song. Love that.
@adrianfischer8149
Ever heard of Mr. Elvis Presley?
@jenelyntomaquin2274
So Taylor too
@elegantlywasted4580
Lol basic
@ADirtyLeviathan
No Iâm a performer and her voice is shaking, I think she kept her singing basic because she is nervous AF because of her love and respect for GGD and Johnny. I love Avril Iâm not putting her down, Iâm actually pointing out how beautiful it is to see her nervous next to someone she admires so much.
