Ur
DJ Tiesto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wish I was a better man,
Wish I had a better plan for dealing with this
What am I, what am I to do now?

Maybe I should run away?
Maybe I could run away and never be found.
What am I, what am I to do?
The way I'm feeling
The dreams that I'm dreaming.
Can this really be happening?
Can this really be true?

Ur...

My love of my life,
My heart and my soul,
Just trying to keep the world from smashing, crashing in.

I had this dream the other night,
I had this crazy dream the other night.
How have I? How have I arrived here.

My heart is elated
But my head is exhausted
This is powerful magic
Can it really be true?

Ur...

My blood is in your blood,
My breathe is in your mouth.
Just trying to keep the world from smashing, crashing in.

What about us? What about all the plans that we made?
What about all those careful plans?
Just careful plans we made up
Ah, nothing's clear.

Full of fear,
Full of hope,
Full of you.

My love of my life,
My hole in my soul,
Just trying to keep the world from smashing, crashing in.

Ur...





My blood is in your blood,
Just trying to keep the world from smashing, crashing in.

Bought the album back in the day and lost it now. This was one of my faves, always would've loved an instrumental version. Reminds me of Depeche mode.

When Tijs was the king, he only Played poetry. This is from the album "Just be" 2004 beautiful times of the trance music.
Old school never dies!
Viva la trance!

@CesarPantoja0

I just realised I can't tell if the guy is sad because he lost the love of his life or happy because he found it. I always thought it was a sad song, but it could also be a happy song. This is some powerful stuff.

@okgoohno20

Cesar Pantoja neither sad or happy, its something in between. While being amazed and electrified by its magic but exhausted for its unsureness

@NoneOfYourusinesss
