Daniel Cirera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can anybody hear her call?
Cause I can't live without my baby
Has anybody seen my baby around?
I don' t mind the consequence
I can't live in this present tense
But if god has a better view
Has anybody seen my baby?
Can anybody hear her call?
Cause I can't live without my baby
Has anybody seen my baby around?
I don' t mind the consequence
I can't live in this present tense
But if god has a better view
He knows what to do
The lyrics of "If" by Daniel Cirera are an expression of the intense love and longing of the singer for his lost love, whom he refers to as "baby." The song starts with the singer calling out to anyone who might have seen or heard from his beloved, asking if they have seen or heard from her. The repetition of this line adds to the desperate tone of the song, emphasizing how much the singer needs his love in his life.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that he is struggling to cope with the present reality of his life without his love. He says that he does not mind the consequences of his actions, suggesting that he is willing to take any risk necessary to find his "baby" again. However, he also admits that he cannot remain in the present tense, suggesting that he is consumed by the memories of their past love and unable to let go.
The song then takes a more philosophical turn, as the singer wonders if God might have a better view of his situation and know what to do. This shift in the lyrics indicates a sense of surrender and trust in something larger than himself or his love. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song reiterates the singer's plea for help, making it clear that he is still searching for his lost love.
Overall, "If" is a powerful and emotional song about love, loss, and searching for meaning in difficult times.
