The Chance
Destra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's somewhere that you can not be anymore
With people who have already gone away
You almost feel happy again
But the water at your feet brings you back to reality
The wind touches your hair and you wet your face
Your eyes keep staring at the sunset and your memories come back to you
And your soul find shelter
Just free your soul like the seagulls flyin' above you
The time slips by like sand thru your hands
You're waiting for everything to be like yesterday
And nobody will be important to you anymore,
You're sure that nothing's forever
You don't listen to me
When i say things are not the same all the time
Just close your eyes, let me come into your heart...
I can break all your chains i can dry all your tears
I can make you smile again, trust me!
I could do everything for you if you just gave me a chance
But i know your heart can still find same satisfaction
And your soul find shelter
Just free your soul like the seagulls flyin' above you
Just give me a chance, just one chance

The wind and water serve as a reminder of the passing of time and the inevitability of change.

The repeated plea of "just give me a chance" shows the singer's commitment and dedication to supporting the person in need. The overall message is one of hope and encouragement in the face of difficult times.
Overall, the song is a reminder to live in the present, appreciate the good moments, and trust others who care for us to help us find joy and fulfillment in life.

The wind touches your hair and your mind so far away
The breeze caresses your hair while your thoughts are lost in a distant place
It's somewhere that you can not be anymore
You long for a place that you can no longer visit
With people who have already gone away
Amongst those who have departed
You almost feel happy again
You experience moments of contentment
But the water at your feet brings you back to reality
The waves wash up against your feet, grounding you in the present
The wind touches your hair and you wet your face
The wind blows tears from your eyes as you watch the sunset
Your eyes keep staring at the sunset and your memories come back to you
You can't stop looking at the sunset and your mind is flooded with memories
But i know your heart can still find some satisfaction
I know your heart still has the capacity for happiness
And your soul find shelter
Your soul needs a place of comfort
Just free your soul like the seagulls flyin' above you
Let your soul take flight like the seagulls above you
The time slips by like sand thru your hands
Time passes quickly and is difficult to hold onto
You're waiting for everything to be like yesterday
You long for a time when things were simpler and happier
And nobody will be important to you anymore,
You feel disconnected from everyone and everything
You're sure that nothing's forever
You believe that nothing lasts indefinitely
You don't listen to me
You're not open to what I have to say
When i say things are not the same all the time
I'm telling you that things change
Just close your eyes, let me come into your heart...
Let me in, allow me to reach your heart and soul
I can break all your chains i can dry all your tears
I can help you break free from your burdens and sorrow
I can make you smile again, trust me!
I can bring joy to your life once again, if you trust me
I could do everything for you if you just gave me a chance
If you give me a chance, I will do anything to help you
Just give me a chance, just one chance
All I'm asking is for you to give me an opportunity to help
