Everything To Me
Filan Shane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If life is like a jigsaw
Where would you start
You think you got the picture
Like it's written on your heart
You lay out all the pieces
One by one
But if you stare at it too closely
The answer never comes

So I take a breath
Cos I need time to figure this all out
I got lost inside
What I thought I need
But I understand now

Cause I don't need the sunlight shining on my face
And I don't need perfection to have the perfect day
I just want to see you happy a smile on your face
Nothing else matters cos you're everything to me to me to me
You're everything to me

Can you tell me where I'm going
Tell me what comes next
Cause I know that it's not over
Haven't even started yet
I just wanna get there
But I hope it's not too late
Cause the closer that I'm getting
The more I feel the way

Let's take a break
Take our time
To igure this all out
I got lost inside
What I thought I need
But I understand now

Cause I don't need the sunlight shining on my face
And I don't need perfection to have the perfect day
I just want to see you happy a smile on your face
Nothing else matters cos you're everything to me

All that I thought I want
Is not what I really need
You're right here in front of me

No, I don't need the sunlight shining on my face
And I don't need perfection to have the perfect day
I just want to see you happy a smile on your face
Nothing else matters
No nothing else matters

Cos I don't need the sunlight shining on my face
And I don't need perfection to have the perfect day
I just want to see you happy a smile on your face
Nothing else matters
No nothing else matters

Yeah I don't need the sunlight shining on my face
And I don't need perfection to have the perfect day
I just want to see you happy a smile on your face




Nothing else matters cos you're everything to me to me to me
You're everything to me

Overall Meaning

The song "Everything To Me" by Filan Shane talks about how life is like a jigsaw puzzle where we try to put all the pieces together to figure out our path, but it's not always easy. The singer reflects on getting lost in what he thought he needs and taking a break to figure things out. He then realizes that he doesn't need perfection or the sun shining on his face to have a perfect day. The only thing that matters is seeing the person he loves happy with a smile on their face, as they are everything to him.


The lyrics are full of metaphorical language that emphasizes the theme of searching for one's purpose in life. The jigsaw puzzle metaphor highlights how life can be complicated and we need to take a step back to see the bigger picture. The singer also realizes that he doesn't need materialistic things or external validation to be happy, as true happiness comes from within.


The chorus is catchy, with its repetition emphasizing the importance of the person the singer is speaking to. It shows that love is the most important thing in life, and everything else pales in comparison. The bridge, "All that I thought I want is not what I really need. You're right here in front of me", reinforces the idea that true happiness is found in the love of others and not in fleeting materialistic desires.


Overall, "Everything To Me" is a heartfelt song that emphasizes the importance of love in our lives and how it can help us navigate the complexities of life.
