UR
DJ Tiesto Featuring Aqualung 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 that I'm feeling
The dreams when I'm dreaming
Can this really be happening
Can it really be true?

You are
My love and 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 unleaded
and my head is exhausted
Is this powerful magic
Can it really be true?

You are
My blood is in your blood
My breathe 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
An else is clear (!?)

Full of Fear
Full of Hope
Full of You

My love and my life
My heart and my soul
Just trying to keep the world
From smashing crashing in

My blood is in your blood




Just trying to keep the world
From smashing crashing in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of DJ Tiësto's "Ur" are reflective of a man who is coming to terms with his feelings towards a significant other. He wishes he was a better man and had a better plan for dealing with his emotions. The first verse illustrates his confusion and helplessness as he ponders what he should do now. He contemplates running away but realizes that he cannot escape from his emotions. The second verse paints a picture of the power that love has over him. The dreams that he has and the way that he is feeling is all-consuming, and he wonders if this can really be happening to him. The chorus reveals his love and devotion towards his significant other, describing her as his love and life, heart and soul, and the person who keeps the world from smashing crashing in.


The bridge of the song showcases the confusion that the singer feels. He had a dream the other night, and he questions how he arrived here. He is full of fear and hope, yet this person he is with is what makes everything full of him. The song then goes back to the chorus, solidifying the strength of his devotion towards his significant other.

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.

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.

@MichaelCook84

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.

@luisenriquesuarez4848

Una obra maestra, excelente canción!

@karolwojtyla7197

Słucham tą jedną minutę po raz setny 4:05

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
