DIAMANTE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
The lyrics of DIAMANTEโs song โIrisโ are about the intense desire to be close to someone who is very special to you. The singer would do anything to be with this person and to touch them. She feels that the person is the closest thing to heaven she will ever experience, and she doesn't want to go home without being in their company.
The singer is lost in the intense moment she is experiencing with the person she's with, and she can only taste and breathe that moment. She knows that the moment will eventually end, but she doesn't want to miss it. She doesn't want to have any regrets later. The emotions in this moment are so strong that it makes her feel alive.
The chorus repeats the line โI donโt want the world to see meโ three times. The singer doesnโt want to share this intense moment with the world because she doesnโt think they will understand. She wants this person to โjust know who I am.โ The line โWhen everything feels like the movies, yeah, you bleed just to know you're aliveโ is a reference to the idea that life can feel like a movie at times, with powerful emotions and experiences that make us feel more alive.
Overall, the song conveys the powerful emotions that come with being in love. The singer wants to be close to the person she loves, and she wants them to understand who she is and what she feels.

Never fails.. Ben hits shit like no one else can. "yeah you bleed just to know you're alive." His delivery has sent chills through me since I was 17. I'm 32 now.
@DanLGG
His voice saved my life. When I was 20 me and a friend were out riding around and found a Saturate CD lying in a parking lot. We put that CD in and didn't take it out for a very long time. I've been die hard BB fan since. I had a band and covered a lot of BB songs. Our lead singer wasn't Ben but he made you feel what he was singing about. He passed away a few years ago. There have many occasions where Breaking Benjamin have been able to reach me when nothing else could.

@@DanLGGusing is powerful and it inspires us and motivates us. But Ben nor any one else saved your life. You saved your life. Because if you really wanted to, nothing would stop you from taking it. You saved yourself. The music only revealed what was in you all along

@@thomasmarchese2808 thank you for saying that. You forget sometimes to give yourself credit for doing what you have to do. I hope you feel in your heart the feeling you just gave me. All love man. Thank you
