People Come People Go
David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But your touch cuts me deeper
And still it grows at the center
I will always remember
Years gone by
Seems like you're still here
Every night in my dreams
I will always remember
Never been one to give my heart up so easily
But now you're gone wish I'd given my heart completely
In the touch of a stranger I can feel you
In the eyes of a child I see your face
Your hold on my soul
Keeps me from danger
No matter how hard I try
These memories I can't erase
People come and people go
But your touch cuts me deeper
And still it grows at the center
I will always remember
Years gone by
Seems like you're still here
Every night in my dreams
You remind me with kisses so tender
I will always remember
In the brush of a stranger I can feel you
In the eyes of a child I see your face
Your hold on my soul
Keeps me from danger
No matter how hard I try
These memories I can't replace.
David Guetta's song "People Come People Go" is a track that explores how people can come and go from our lives, but certain people hold a special place in our hearts. The central message of the song is that even though people leave or disappear from our lives, they can still hold a strong presence. The lyrics are about a person who left a deep impression on the singer, and despite being gone, their touch still affects him/her deeply.
The song starts by stating that people come and go, but there was someone who touched the singer's life deeply. The touch is so profound that even though the person's gone, it seems to have grown at the center. The phrase "I will always remember" repeats throughout the song, emphasizing that no matter how much time has passed, the memory of this person remains strong. The chorus of the song punctuates that feeling, emphasizing that while people come and go, some leave such an impression that it's tough to forget them.
The second verse evolves into the regret of the singer for not having given their heart completely to this person when they were together. It's clear that someone touched him/her in a way that nobody else did, and that imprint has remained. The song then shifts to explain how the singer sees that person even though they're gone. In the touch of a stranger or in the eyes of a child, the singer finds elements that remind them of the person they lost. This shows the power of memory, how we can carry ideas of people who've touched us deeply, and how they remain with us long after they've gone.
