dawn
Code 64 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stood among the crowds for years
Still I felt so alone
This feeling is still so strong
Where am I from, where do I belong?

Darkness surrounds me
I have this wish to be free
With all these feelings inside me
Please put your arms around me

When nothing seems right, all the things are gone
Friends leaving one by one
I ask you please do not lose hope




'Cos when the Sun rises, a new day is born
Eventually, you will get stronger

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Dawn" by Code 64 explore a common feeling many people experience: the sense of loneliness and not belonging, even in a crowded place. The first verse acknowledges how the singer of the song has been standing among crowds of people for years, yet still feels incredibly alone. He or she is afraid and uncertain about where they come from and where they belong. The second verse speaks more explicitly about the singer's wish to escape the darkness that surrounds him or her, and begs another person to put their arms around him or her to give comfort and reassurance.


The chorus provides a bit of hope, assuring the listener that when everything seems to be going wrong and they feel like they're losing all their friends, there is still the promise of a new day. The sunrise symbolizes hope and strength, and the idea that eventually, the listener will overcome their current struggles and become stronger.


Overall, these lyrics are quite introspective and emotional. They recognize that sometimes it's hard to find a sense of belonging or feel like we fit in, but also offer reassurance that things will get better over time.
