I AM
Brian Nhira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if I couldn't eat
What if I couldn't move
Would you still love me?
What if my body ached
And I always made you late
What if I couldn't wait
Would you love me when it's hard
And our life's fallen apart
If the things that we once knew are long gone
If our blue skies turn to grey
And my memory fades away
Would you still love me?
Would you still love me?
What if I'm complicated
Always leaving you frustrated
Nothing ever went quite right
Would you still love me?
Wish I could let you know what the future holds
but that's a promise I can't make
through the good and bad happy and sad
love is a risk that we must take
If I could speak again
I'd ask you to remember when
We first met and fell in love
We were so young and dumb
But our love was so strong
Memories of those late nightstan
Are what fuel this fight
The lyrics to Brian Nhira's song "I Am" capture the essence of pure love beyond physicality, through the lens of various hypothetical scenarios. The opening lines, "What if I couldn't speak, What if I couldn't eat, What if I couldn't move, Would you still love me?" are a tender plea to his loved one, asking if their love extends beyond his physical and mental abilities. He continues to paint another picture of himself, "What if my body ached, And I always made you late, What if I couldn't wait, Would you still love me?" showcasing his vulnerability, which is the very essence of the song. In the second verse, the singer questions the depth of the love in tumultuous or challenging times, "Would you love me when it's hard, And our life's fallen apart, If the things that we once knew are long gone, If our blue skies turn to grey, And my memory fades away, Would you still love me?" echoing the very essence of true love triumphing in the face of adversity.
The chorus assertively asks the same question again, "Would you still love me?" This repetition drives home the point of the song, that true love transcends physical and temporal limitations. The verse concludes with the singer acknowledging his limitations and complexity as a person and asking the final question, "Would you still love me?". The bridge then shifts to a more hopeful tone, "If I could speak again...", reminiscing a shared past and happy memories, "We first met and fell in love, We were so young and dumb, But our love was so strong, Memories of those late nights are what fuel this fight" hoping that they can overcome any adversity together as long as their love remains steadfast.

Nevertheless, our affection for each other was potent and enduring
Memories of those late nights
Recollections of late evenings or nighttime events
Are what fuel this fight
Motivation for continuing to work through our difficulties comes from these memories
