Breakfast in Fur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm holding on, don't lose me yet.
Waiting for the days gone by,
I'm holding on, don't close your eyes.
Cityscape tonight unreal,
I'm holding on to the way that I feel.
The shape of time surrounds you now,
I'd like to sleep a thousand years,
Keep holding on, I'll be right here,
Waiting in the days gone by,
I'm older now, stepping out of time.
The lyrics of Breakfast in Fur's song "Shape" represent the feeling of aging, loss, and the desire to hold on to what is left of the past. The first verse is about being taken by the older steps, possibly referring to the aging process, and holding on to what is left. The singer is waiting for the days gone by, indicating that they are longing for the past, and afraid of losing it. The repetition of the phrase "I'm holding on" emphasizes the importance of not losing what is left.
In the second verse, the singer describes the cityscape as unreal, possibly indicating that time has passed and things have changed too much. The shape of time, possibly referring to how time changes people and their surroundings, is surrounding the listener, and they should hold on to their ground or identity. The singer then expresses a desire to sleep for a thousand years, indicating that they want to escape reality and hold on to something everlasting.
The final line of the song, "I'm older now, stepping out of time," represents the acceptance of aging and the transition to a new phase of life. The song's overall theme revolves around being afraid of losing what is precious, holding on to the past, and learning to accept the changes that come with aging.
