Hardwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
These lyrics are actually a reference to the REM song "Losing My Religion." Hardwell has taken inspiration from the song and created his own version. The lyrics themselves touch on themes of insecurity and fear of rejection. In the first stanza, the singer expresses how life is bigger than just one person and their individual experiences, highlighting the idea of interconnectedness. They then reveal their vulnerability, stating that they are willing to go great lengths to connect with someone but are unsure if that person reciprocates these feelings.
Moving on to the second stanza, the singer identifies themselves as the person in the corner or the spotlight, indicating that they are under scrutiny or feeling exposed. They then reveal their fear of not being able to keep up with the person they are addressing, expressing doubt in their own abilities. The line "I thought that I heard you singing," might suggest that the person is not taking notice of the singer, creating insecurity in the singer that they are not matching up to the other person's standards.
Overall, the song reveals the singer's vulnerability, insecurity and fears, while questioning their adequacy in their interpersonal relationships.

Ooh, life is bigger
Life is vast and full of possibilities
It's bigger than you
Life is greater than any individual person
And you are not me
Each person is unique and has their own experiences
The lengths that I will go to
I am willing to go to great extents
The distance in your eyes
I can sense a disconnect between us
Oh no I've said too much
I have revealed too much information
I set it up
I initiated something
That's me in the corner
I am feeling isolated and vulnerable
That's me in the spotlight
I am under pressure and scrutiny
Losing my religion
I am losing my composure and sense of control
Trying to keep up with you
I am trying to match your pace and expectations
And I don't know if I can do it
I am feeling uncertain and overwhelmed
I haven't said enough
I have not expressed myself fully
I thought that I heard you laughing
I believed that you were mocking me
I thought that I heard you sing
I believed that you were enjoying the situation
I think I thought I saw you try
I am unsure if you are making an effort to understand me

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger
Than you and you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry
Why try

This is a classic work of Hardwell. The "Three Triangles" part is old and his style. I didn't think a "Big room", "Prog house" and "Electro" producer was making "trance". You really got me there. Go Hardwell or go home.
