Her
Deaf Dreamer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my arms tonight
She's stuck in a dream
She′s searching for the light
& I don't know why
I can't get her off my mind
Her eyes would say the strangest things to me
It starts with a smile
That′s always how it seems (It seems that way)
So i′ll be your fire
As long as you know when to put me out (Liar)
I've never been higher
Til I′m with you on the cloud, the cloud
Her eyes would say the strangest things to me
Her love is all i really need to be
Please notice me
I'm so lonely
Baby i see
Just what you need
Her eyes would say the strangest things to me
Her love is all i ever really need to be
Her eyes would say the strangest things to me
Her love is all i ever really need to be
To be
The lyrics to Deaf Dreamer's song "Her" depict the singer holding a girl in his arms as she falls asleep. As she drifts off, the girl is stuck in a dream and searching for the light. The singer confesses that he can't get her off of his mind, and the girl's eyes reveal deep emotions that she cannot put into words. He declares that her love is all he needs and that he will be her fire, but acknowledges that he is a liar who needs to be put out at times. The song ends with the singer pleading with the girl to notice him, as he is lonely and wants to be what she needs.
The lyrics of "Her" seem to be about unrequited love, as the singer is clearly very into the girl he is holding, but he is not sure if she feels the same. The girl's eyes communicate her emotions, but she cannot seem to express them verbally. The singer is willing to be the girl's everything, but he also acknowledges that he can be too much at times and needs to be put out. Overall, the song speaks to the complexities of relationships and the struggle to find someone who truly sees and understands us.
