In My Arms
Eldest 11 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leave me alone!!

I wait to the sun going down
The repetitions make me cold
And nosebleeds (my nose bleeds)
And dark things following me
The darkness soothes me, so it can hide all my imperfections
To be alive, to keep holding on so tight
When it wears on a soul that′s losing light
And the past I can't let go off (so proud of)
Then I saw her standing there, looking in my eyes
Long hair, the world stopped and i′m scared (face my fear)
Am I what you think I am? The wearing down is a solar flare needing repair
Me, i've never been so happy, we love to hurt (we live to hurt) we left out all the heart
In the storms found you in the cold
Not in the dirt, rather you be in my arms
Me, i've never been so happy, we love to hurt (we live to hurt) completely discharge
In the storms found you in the cold
Not in the dirt, rather you be in my arms
And i′m not perfect, i′ll never be but it's part of my mystery
And my dark things, I gave up a search because I never found someone who loves me
To be alive, to keep holding on so tight
When it wears on a soul that′s losing light
And you see things are never given to foes that seek
Saw her standing there, block, looking in my eyes
Long hair, the world stopped and i'm scared
Am I what you think I am
The wearing down is a solar flare needing repair
(I′ve never been so happy)
I'm scared
(Again)
Sometimes we gotta wait for the right time
It′ll happen on it's own without forcing things along
Me, i've never been so happy, we love to hurt, we live to hurt, we left out all the heart
In the storms, found you in the cold

Not in the dirt, rather you be in my arms





Just wait
Never forgiving!

Overall Meaning

The song "In My Arms" by Eldest 11 is a multi-layered track that touches upon themes of loneliness, imperfection, and the search for love and acceptance. The lyrics describe a sense of isolation, with the singer waiting for the sun to go down and seeking solace in darkness. The repetition of certain phrases and a reference to nosebleeds suggest a sense of anxiety or discomfort. However, the darkness also serves as a shield for imperfections, highlighting a desire for acceptance despite flaws.


The song takes a hopeful turn when the singer comes across a love interest, described as having long hair and causing the world to stop. The fear associated with this encounter highlights a vulnerability and uncertainty with regard to whether the singer is truly deserving of love. As the song progresses, there is a sense of surrender to the idea that love can be a source of happiness despite the risk of hurt. In the end, the singer longs for the love interest to be in their arms rather than left in the cold dirt.
