Haerts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said she wished I never knew
In the hotel of the sun she found love
Baby please be careful now
Years forget and hearts hold on
Don't you ever give yourself away
And time it wasn't yours it wasn't mine
And I wasn't taken from for nothing
It was always for the sky
Said you died to be free
When in a dream you came to me
I wish you'd found another way to fly
Believe in what I say to you
Then what I say will be the truth
And in the lightness of your mind you'll find me
And I give all moments for the sky
And time it wasn't yours it wasn't mine
And I wasn't taken from for nothing
It was always for the sky
For the sky, for the sky, for the sky, for the sky
(ooh, ah)
And I give all moments for the sky
And time it wasn't yours it wasn't mine
And I wasn't taken from for nothing
It was always for the sky
And I give all moments for the sky
And time it wasn't yours it wasn't mine
And I wasn't taken from for nothing
It was always for the sky
The lyrics to Haerts's song "For the Sky" contain a mix of introspection, longing, and the search for freedom. The opening lines, "Mother said it was the truth, said she wished I never knew," suggest that the singer has discovered something painful or difficult to accept. The mention of the "hotel of the sun" where the mother finds love could symbolize a place of escape or transformation.
The plea for caution in the line "Baby please be careful now, years forget and hearts hold on" implies that the singer wants someone they care about to protect themselves and not get entangled in the past or cling to old wounds. The refrain of "Don't you ever give yourself away" emphasizes the importance of self-preservation and not losing oneself.
The repeated mention of giving "all moments for the sky" suggests a willingness to sacrifice and let go of everything for the sake of freedom and personal growth. The line "And time it wasn't yours it wasn't mine" points to the fleeting nature of time and the realization that neither the past nor the future truly belong to us. The phrase "It was always for the sky" expresses the idea that this pursuit of freedom and self-discovery is an inherent part of the human experience.
Overall, "For the Sky" conveys a sense of longing for escape, the desire for freedom, and the recognition of the transient nature of life. It urges the listener to embrace their own journey and not be afraid to let go and reach for the unknown.

Mother said it was the truth
My mother told me what she believed to be true
Said she wished I never knew
She regretted sharing that knowledge with me
In the hotel of the sun she found love
She discovered love in a place full of warmth and brightness
Baby please be careful now
Please exercise caution and be mindful
Years forget and hearts hold on
As time goes by, memories fade but emotions endure
Don't you ever give yourself away
Never lose your true self or give up on who you are
And I give all moments for the sky
I dedicate each moment of my life to reaching for the heights
And time it wasn't yours it wasn't mine
Time does not belong to any individual, it is a shared experience
And I wasn't taken from for nothing
My existence wasn't a result of meaningless circumstances
It was always for the sky
My purpose has always been to strive for greatness
Said you died to be free
You claimed you sacrificed your life to gain freedom
When in a dream you came to me
In a dream, you appeared before me
I wish you'd found another way to fly
I hope you had discovered a different path to liberation
Believe in what I say to you
Have faith in the words I speak to you
Then what I say will be the truth
Only when you believe me, my words will become truths to you
And in the lightness of your mind you'll find me
In the clarity and ease of your thoughts, you will discover my presence
