I Am
Blue Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this breath of silence
In these eyes so wide
In the emotions of living
Watching stars collide
I am...

In the touch of darkness
In their tired eyes
In the stillness of living




Watching years go by
I am...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blue Stone's song "I Am" are haunting and ethereal. The song describes the various moments and emotions of life and how one's existence is defined by them. The opening lines of the song, "In this breath of silence, in these eyes so wide, in the emotions of living, watching stars collide, I am," illustrates the idea of the beauty and wonder of life. The singer is overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of the world and realizes that they are part of it.


The second stanza talks about the darker moments of life- in the touch of darkness, in the tired eyes of others, and in the stillness of living - watching years go by, I am. These lines are key in showing the duality of life and that the singer understands the hardships and grief that come with it. However, the use of the word "I am" shows that they accept and embrace these moments and that it's these moments that help define who they are.


Overall, "I Am" is an introspective and philosophical song, expressing the idea that life is a collection of moments and that each of those defines who we are. The melancholic and poignant lyrics are complemented by the haunting and dreamy melody, making it a powerful and introspective piece.
