Emily
Charizma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying hard to get to work in time
But still you're running late again today
Like so many times before
Living for the weekend
Living for the dream that all will change one day
You need a way out, need to find
Emily, take my hand
Let me show you another world
Follow me to the sun,
Flying high in the sky
Emily, there is more to this life
than these eyes can see
Follow me
to the place where you know you belong
Can't help but thinking
While you are running down the avenue
Is this all there is to life
Is there more than meets the eye
Emily, take my hand
Let me show you another world
Follow me to the sun,
Flying high in the sky
Emily, there is more to this life
than these eyes can see
Follow me
to the place where you know you belong
You need to let go now
And see what is true this time
There's so many things still to be found
The song "Emily" by Charizma tells a story of a person who feels stuck in their daily routine and dreams of finding a way out to a better life. The lyrics describe a typical Monday morning rush to work, but the person is always running late and wonders if there is more to life than what meets the eye. The chorus invites a girl named Emily to take the singer's hand and follow him to a place where she belongs, flying high in the sky, and seeing the world from a different perspective. The song encourages taking a chance and embarking on a journey of self-discovery, letting go of the mundane and finding what is true.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted in different ways, but the underlying message is about exploring new possibilities and not settling for a mediocre life. The name Emily is often used as a symbol of innocence and youth, representing someone who is looking for a way out of a dull existence. The chorus suggests that following someone who has a different perspective and a more positive outlook on life can lead to a better experience.
Charizma was a British pop group that released several singles in the late 1990s, including "Emily," which was a minor hit in the UK charts. The song features upbeat, catchy music that complements the optimistic tone of the lyrics. The chorus is especially memorable, with its call to follow the singer to a better place.
