Try
Gabriel And Dresden ft. Nelly Furtado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is everything is not as it's sold
But the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try, try
I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn the more I learn
The more I cry the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Oh, try, try
All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be, we never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
We are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love
The lyrics to Gabriel And Dresden ft. Nelly Furtado's song Try explores the theme of not being able to find answers even as we grow older and learn more about the world. The lyrics reflect on how the more we learn, the less we understand the world around us. The singer acknowledges that despite living multiple lives, they are still young and have a lot to learn. They have come to realize that everything around them is not as it seems and "all of the real people are really not real at all."
However, despite all of this uncertainty, the singer finds hope in the person they see standing before them. The person wants more from the singer, and all they can do is try to be the best version of themselves. They're saying goodbye to the life they thought they'd designed for themselves and embracing the unpredictability of life. They're free to love and be themselves, even if they're not perfect.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of trying to be better despite the challenges of life. All of the moments that have passed cannot be brought back, but they can try to make the present moment last. They acknowledge that they can never be everything that the other person wants them to be, but that's okay. They're free in their love and can be themselves with each other.
Overall, the lyrics to Try reflect the idea that life is unpredictable and full of uncertainty, but we can find hope and freedom in love and in being ourselves.
Line by Line Meaning
All I know
I have a limited understanding of the world
Is everything is not as it's sold
What I see or hear is not always truthful
But the more I grow the less I know
As I gain more experience, I realize how little I know
And I have lived so many lives
I have gone through various phases in my life
Though I'm not old
Despite not being old, I have had many experiences
And the more I see, the less I grow
As I gain new experiences, I don't necessarily become wiser or more mature
The fewer the seeds the more I sow
I try harder when faced with limited options
Then I see you standing there
When I look at you
Wanting more from me
Expecting more of me
And all I can do is try
I'll do my best to meet your expectations despite my limitations
I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
I regret having a realistic view of things
And all the real people are really not real at all
People I thought were genuine turned out to be fake
The more I learn the more I learn
The more knowledge I gain, the more I realize how much more there is to learn
The more I cry the more I cry
The more emotional pain I feel, the more I break down
As I say goodbye to the way of life
As I abandon my old way of living
I thought I had designed for me
I realize that the life I envisioned is not what I actually want
I'm all I'll ever be
I can only be who I am
But all I can do is try
Still, I'll try my hardest to meet your expectations
All of the moments that already passed
Memories of the past
We'll try to go back and make them last
We'll attempt to hold on to those memories
All of the things we want each other to be
Our expectations of each other
We never will be, we never will be
We can't change who we are
And that's wonderful, and that's life
Acceptance of our imperfections is liberating
And that's you, baby
It's true for you, my love
This is me, baby
I accept who I am
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Together we are
We are, we are
Together we exist
Free
We are free to be ourselves
In our love
In our relationship
We are free in our love
Our love allows us to be free

I made this remix haha! OMG it's been ages since I heard it. I labeled it TMC's Drama Dub. It was a mashup of Nelly Furtado's "Try" and Deborah Cox "Play Your Part (Gabriel & Dresden Dub)".
