You Are
Cirrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh these tattered
Imaginary wings
Want to make them real
Real
Oh these many
Useless coverings
Want to make throw away
Away

You are the shelter in the winter rain
You are the child underneath the pain
You are

Feeling heavy
You won't let it down
It's not their not
Their
Sparrow falling
Until she's on the ground
Your not alone
Alone

You are the caged one who is finally free
You are the oasis in the desert heat

You are the shelter in the winter rain
You are the child underneath the pain




You hold the answer though you can't explain
What you are to me

The lyrics of Cirrus's "You Are" express a longing to shed the imaginary and useless coverings represented by tattered wings and to find something real. The lines "You are the shelter in the winter rain, you are the child underneath the pain, you are" suggest that the singer has found someone who provides comfort and a sense of belonging. The repeated refrain "you are" reinforces that this person is everything to the singer.


As the song continues, it becomes clear that the singer is experiencing some heavy emotions, but they are glad to have support instead of feeling alone. The lines "You won't let it down, it's not their not their sparrow falling until she's on the ground, you're not alone alone" suggest a sense of loyalty or faithfulness from the person being addressed. The next few lines describe the singer as the archetype of the person who was once trapped but is now free and refreshed.
