Grateful
Dhruv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couldn't see the sun behind the clouds
Wondered if it'd ever come out again
Snug inside the arms of loneliness
19 candles out before we kissed
Nights of my youth, hardly missed
But I say whoever wrote this story
The bits of me I couldn't stand are my favorite parts
Never used to take the time to recognize
Everything I need is right in my line of sight
And I don't know my destination but I've come to learn
The universe gives you the answers on it's own terms
Through the highs and through the lows
I look up to the sky
I know the world is mine
I feel so fucking grateful
I'm so, so fucking grateful
We took the long way 'round
Been in the lost and found
I feel so fucking grateful
I'm just so fucking grateful
Yeah, heaven really knows I overthink
Do a thousand takes and pick the fifth
Get overwhelmed by every little thing (little thing, little thing)
Remember being a kid and wild and free
Playing Rapunzel from the balcony
Thinking I didn't care
How you'd see me
Good day
Yeah, we're sitting on a park bench in the thick of spring
I write these words and watch the daffodils sway in the wind
I never used to take the time to look around
Or pay attention to the different layers of sound
It's so funny how we run to where we need to be
That we never get to take in the scenery
I don't wanna live my life that way
I look up to the sky
I know the world is mine
I feel so fucking grateful
I'm so, so fucking grateful
We took the long way 'round
Been in the lost and found
I feel so fucking grateful
I'm just so fucking grateful
Yeah, I don't want this day to end
We watch the sun make its descent
I ask if you've got somewhere else to be
We talk into the dead of night
Share history in the dwindling light
And thank the stars for here is where we've reached
In "Grateful," Dhruv describes how he has had his fair share of struggles and low points in life, but he has come to appreciate them as they have made him the person he is today. The song begins with him reflecting on his past, where he felt lonely and depressed, unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. He then goes on to say that despite his struggles, he is grateful for the journey he has been on, and through it all, he has come to realize that everything he needs is within his line of sight. He has learned that the universe will provide answers in its way if he allows it to.
Dhruv then talks about how he used to overthink everything, spending too much time dwelling on the negative. But, he credits his ability to appreciate the beauty of life around him, even the little things, to his young, wild, and free spirit. The song talks about sitting on a park bench, enjoying the beauty of spring, and hearing the different layers of sound. The song ends with him thankful for the present moment, not wanting the day to end, cherishing the conversation and history shared with someone else, grateful for the present moment.
Overall, "Grateful" is a reflection on gratitude, acknowledging that despite the hardships one may face, one can still find beauty, appreciate life's moments, and be thankful for them.
Line by Line Meaning
Heaven only knows I've been down
I've been through a tough time and only a higher power knows how low I've felt
Couldn't see the sun behind the clouds
I was so lost that I couldn't even see a way out, even if it was right in front of me
Wondered if it'd ever come out again
I had lost hope and feared that happiness would never grace me again
Snug inside the arms of loneliness
I was so lonely that I felt like it was the only thing keeping me company
19 candles out before we kissed
I had experienced a lot of life before finally finding love
Nights of my youth, hardly missed
I don't regret not having a typical, cliché young adulthood. In fact, I'm grateful for it.
But I say whoever wrote this story
I believe in fate, and that everything in my life happens for a reason
Crafted one hell of an arc
My life story has a lot of ups and downs, but it's exciting and unique
The bits of me I couldn't stand are my favorite parts
I've learned to love all aspects of myself, including the parts I once disliked
Never used to take the time to recognize
I used to live life without really taking notice of the world around me
Everything I need is right in my line of sight
I've learned to appreciate the small things in life and that I have everything I need
And I don't know my destination but I've come to learn
I don't have all the answers, but I've learned to trust the journey
The universe gives you the answers on it's own terms
Life is unpredictable and the answers we seek often come in unexpected ways
Through the highs and through the lows
No matter how my life changes, I'm grateful for everything I've experienced
I look up to the sky
I take time to appreciate the beauty of the world around me
I know the world is mine
I feel like there's nothing that can stop me from achieving my dreams
I feel so fucking grateful
I am overwhelmed with gratitude for everything in my life
We took the long way 'round
I've had a winding journey, but it's been worth it
Been in the lost and found
I've had moments where I felt lost, but I've always found my way back
Yeah, I don't want this day to end
I'm so happy in the present moment that I don't want it to pass
We watch the sun make its descent
I appreciate the beauty of the world and the passing of time
I ask if you've got somewhere else to be
I value the company of others and care about their needs too
We talk into the dead of night
I love deep conversations that go on for hours
Share history in the dwindling light
Sharing stories and experiences with others is important to me
And thank the stars for here is where we've reached
I'm grateful for where I am in life and how far I've come
