Whispers
Blu Mar Ten feat. Kirsty Hawkshaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I must leave before my red eyes match the sunrise
No more coffee will put off today
I've stood too long
In the shadow of a doubt
I need some sun
It seems that time returns to me once more
And when I feel my world falling down
I think of you
I think of you
And when I feel I can breath no more
You speak to me
You speak to me
When the brightest star
Smiled as it squared shoulders with the night
You lit the glowing embers of my own light
Do you know
Your words could drag the moon down from the sky
Seduce my frozen heart with your war cry
You really made me listen for my voice
And I heard millions
And when I feel my world falling down
I think of you
I think of you
And when I feel I can breath no more
You speak to me
You speak to me
When you fell
I saw your visionary thoughts befriend your blood
Crimson lovers drowning in the same flood
I miss the beauty of your young black skin
I thought that freedom
Can only be defined as endless choice
And I only listened to the logic of the loudest voice
But this world
Will be shaken by a whisperβ¦
In the first verse, the singer expresses a need to leave before their "red eyes match the sunrise." They acknowledge that no more coffee will delay the inevitable departure. The second line could be interpreted as a metaphor for something coming to an end, or perhaps the singer just needs to physically leave before they're caught still there. The second stanza speaks to a lack of confidence the singer has been experiencing. They've been standing in the shadow of doubt for too long and want to embrace the sun instead. They reflect on how time is fleeting and that they have less left than before.
The following stanza is where the meaning of the "you" becomes clearer. The singer has been struggling with the world falling down around them, but they think of someone who helps bring them comfort. This person is able to speak to them even when they don't feel like they can breathe anymore. The next stanza is full of imagery, describing the singer's admiration for the person they think of when they feel lost. Their words are powerful, capable of "dragging the moon down from the sky." The singer admires this person's strength and willingness to share their thoughts with others, as it has helped the singer find their own voice among millions.
The last stanza, though shorter, packs a punch. The singer speaks of their muse falling from grace, perhaps in a figurative sense. The person they once admired for their visionary thoughts and young black skin is no longer around. Freedom, once thought of as endless choice, is now something the singer struggles to grasp. The last line, "But this world will be shaken by a whisper..." implies that even the softest voices have the potential to create great change.
