Iris
FITUMI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know
Want you to know who I am
Know who I am
Want you to know who I am
Know who I am
Want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know
Want you to know who I am
Know who I am
Want you to know who I am
Know who I am
Want you to know who I am
(Want you to know, Want you to know, Want you to know)
Want you to know who I am
(Want you to know, Want you to know, Want you to know)
Want you to know who I am
(Want you to know, Want you to know, Want you to know)
Want you to know who I am
(Want you to know, Want you to know, Want you to know)
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know
Want you to know who I am
The lyrics to FITUMI's song "Iris" express deep longing and vulnerability in a relationship. The singer acknowledges their deep connection with someone, expressing that they would give up anything for the chance to touch them, as they believe that person somehow feels them as well. In their presence, the singer feels as if they are closest to heaven, and they don't want to go home because being with this person brings them immense joy and happiness.
The singer is completely consumed by the moment and can only taste the sweetness of being with this person, and all they can breathe is the essence of their life. Despite the beautiful moments they share, the singer is aware that everything has an expiration, and sooner or later it will be over. They're desperate to not miss out on being with this person tonight.
The singer then reveals their fear of being exposed to the world, as they believe that others wouldn't understand their connection. They see everything in life as being destined to break, but they just want the person they're singing to know who they truly are. The desire to be understood and known for their true self becomes the ultimate focus of the song.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
I would sacrifice anything to have a physical connection with you indefinitely
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
Because I have a sense that you can sense my emotions
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
You bring me the highest level of joy and fulfillment I could ever experience
And I don't want to go home right now
I have no desire to leave your presence at this moment
And all I can taste is this moment
This instant is all I can focus on and fully experience
And all I can breathe is your life
Your existence is the only thing that gives me purpose and sustenance
And sooner or later it's over
At some point, this moment will come to an end
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
I simply do not want to be without you this evening
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
You cannot resist shedding tears that are waiting to be released
Or the moment of truth in your lies
Nor can you avoid confronting the reality hidden within your deceptions
When everything feels like the movies
In times when life seems surreal, like a film
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
You are willing to experience pain just to feel alive
Want you to know who I am
I desire for you to have a genuine understanding of my identity
Know who I am
Comprehend my true essence
Want you to know who I am
It is important to me that you truly recognize who I am
Know who I am
Understand and acknowledge my authentic self
Want you to know who I am
I hope you get to fully know and understand my true character
Know who I am
Truly comprehend and appreciate the person I am
Want you to know who I am
I yearn for you to have a deep understanding of my identity
Know who I am
Have a genuine recognition of who I truly am
Want you to know who I am
I desire for you to truly understand and accept me as I am
And I don't want the world to see me
I do not wish for the rest of the world to witness me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Because I do not believe they would comprehend
When everything's meant to be broken
In a world where everything is destined to be shattered
I just want you to know who I am
I simply want you to truly recognize and appreciate my true self
And I don't want the world to see me
I do not wish for the rest of the world to witness me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Because I do not believe they would comprehend
When everything's meant to be broken
In a world where everything is destined to be shattered
I just want you to know
I simply want you to know
Want you to know who I am
I desire for you to truly understand and appreciate my true self
