Trust
Dakona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be thinking about the future
To be worried about the consequence of fun
It's just fun
Yeah we grew up oh so fast
Now we're longing for the innocence
We swore ourselves would never pass
[Chorus]
Won't you listen to the words I'm speaking
Won't you listen to the words I'm speaking
Time could take this pain away and save us
If we learn to trust again
Now I'm waking with the dawn
And there's no rest with the hollowness
That's moved into my soul
Since you've been gone
Where have you gone
I've got nothing left to give
I've given all my gifts to you
Now I've just got the bags from where I've been
Where have I been
[Chorus]
So sorry they hurt us, so sorry they lied
So sorry they left us, so sorry we died inside
But I'm glad to be with you, I'm glad we survived
And we'll be alright if we let it ride
And just let it shine tonight
The lyrics of the song "Trust" by Dakona reflects on the pain that comes with growing up and how it affects relationships. The first verse revolves around the 'innocent fun' that teenagers indulge in without much thought about the future. The singer muses about how it seemed just like yesterday when they were young and careless. The line, "It's just fun" could be interpreted as sounding both nostalgic and regretful as if the singer wishes he/she could go back to those times. Then in the second stanza, he/she acknowledges that growing up is a part of life and how it fast-forwards our youth. The singer feels remorseful for some mistakes made, thinks about the ones they've lost along the way, and hopes to find a way to trust again. The chorus, "Time could take this pain away and save us if we learn to trust again," points towards a desire to start anew and trust even with the past experiences.
The third stanza describes a feeling of emptiness with the departure of a loved one. The singer feels hollow and is unable to find peace. He/she was so focused on giving to the other person in a relationship that they realize they have nothing left for themselves. The line, "Where have you gone?" exemplifies the longing feeling the singer has towards an ex-partner. Finally, the bridge, "So sorry they hurt us, so sorry they lied, So sorry they left us, so sorry we died inside," is a reference to how the past could hurt and how people could recover by being with the right person.
Overall, the song is an emotionally heavy reflection of adolescent and adult experiences, with its lyrics centering around the theme of trust and how it is affected by our decisions and relationships.
