The Whisperer
David Guetta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was standing on the edge
I longed for a new beginning
But I couldn't look down
No, I couldn't look down
I'm a coward

A million voices screamed in my head
And I felt sure that I would give in
So why couldn't I now?
Why couldn't I now?
Your voice was louder

But by design God gave me feelings
And by design they shall not kill
But when the noises overwhelm me
I feel sure that they will

Oh, liberation comes in whatever form to save me
I hit bottom, and then the whisper comes
You whisper in the breeze
Whispers that I needed
Quiet words soothe the hurt
Whisperer

And though I struggle through the days now
It helps to know that you are listening
So I'll just wait it out
I'll wait this out
By the hour

But by design God gave me feelings
And by design they shall not kill
But when the noises overwhelm me
I feel sure that they will

Oh, liberation comes in whatever form to save me
I hit bottom, and then the whisper comes
You whisper in the breeze
Whispers that I needed




Quiet words soothe the hurt
Whisperer

Line by Line Meaning

I was standing on the edge
I was on the brink of a major change in my life


I'd long for a new beginning
I had been hoping for a fresh start


But I couldn't look down, but I couldn't look down
I was too scared to face the unknown


I went cold
I became paralyzed with fear


A million voices scream in my head
I was overwhelmed by my own thoughts


And I felt sure that I would give in
I was convinced that I would fail


So why couldn't I now, why couldn't I now?
I wondered why I couldn't find the strength to persevere


Your voice was louder
Your encouragement and support were more powerful than my doubts and fears


By design, God gave me feelings
It is natural to have emotions


And by the design they shalt not kill
But they should not overpower or harm me


But when the noises overwhelm me
When my thoughts become too much to bear


I feel sure that they will
I worry that my feelings will consume me


Oh revelation, comes in whatever form to save me
I have faith that a breakthrough will come when I need it most


I hear voices, and then the whisper comes
I am visited by positive influences when I least expect them


Your whisper in the breeze
Your guidance through the challenges feels like a gentle breeze


Your whisper's what I'm needing
Your words of encouragement are what I crave


Quiet bursts, so to hurt the whisperer
The negative voices try to silence the positive influences, but they can't


And though I struggle through the days now
Even though I am still fighting through my difficulties


It helps to know that you are listening
Knowing that I have someone who cares and supports me makes a difference


So I just wait it out
Sometimes, all I can do is be patient and have faith that things will improve


I'll wait this out, by the hour
I am willing to be patient for as long as it takes

Thank you so much for including the Suicide Prevention Hotline at the end! I do no need it, but I have been suicidal before and deeply appreciate that you provided it for others who are suffering.

Hang tight, friends. Things can always be good again.
