As Hayley Williams stated via e-mail, Find Me Here is about "the feeling of surrendering your loved ones to their own, personal struggles; Letting them take their time and come to their own rescue. It’s a hard version of love to learn but it is an important lesson in loving someone well."
Find Me Here
Hayley Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now through the delicate darkness you go
If I trespass, even once, then
It all just disappears
Clock starts over
As long as I am loving you
You'll never be alone
But this is one trip you're gonna have to take alone
When you come back you'll find me here
Where I belong, mm mm
As long as I am loving you
You'll never be alone
As long as you keep wanting me around
But this is one trip you're gonna have to take alone
When you come back you'll find me here
Where I belong
In the song "Find Me Here" by Hayley Williams, the lyrics convey themes of independence, love, and the willingness to wait. The first verse suggests that the person being addressed is embarking on a journey alone. The line "No-one can hold your hand" implies that they are facing challenges or hardships without anyone to support or guide them. The phrase "Delicate darkness" represents the unknown and uncertain path they are taking.
The following lines suggest that the person singing is willing to accompany them on this journey, but warns of the consequences of trespassing or overstepping boundaries. If the singer interferes in any way, everything will disappear, implying that the person needs space and autonomy to navigate their own path. The phrase "Clock starts over" indicates a fresh start or new beginning.
However, despite the need for independence, the chorus emphasizes the singer's unwavering love and support. They assure the person that they will never be alone as long as they are loved by the singer and want them around. This indicates that the singer will be patiently waiting, willing to provide comfort and companionship when the person returns from their journey.
The lyrics also emphasize the importance of individual growth and self-discovery. The line "But this is one trip you're gonna have to take alone" firmly states that the person needs to undertake this journey by themselves, perhaps to learn valuable lessons or find their true identity. The reassurance that they will find the singer waiting upon their return demonstrates the singer's commitment and understanding of the person's need for personal growth and exploration.
In summary, "Find Me Here" explores the delicate balance between supporting someone's independence and maintaining a loving connection. The lyrics convey the singer's acknowledgment of the person's need to take a journey alone while assuring them of unwavering support and love. It highlights themes of self-discovery, growth, patience, and the power of a deep bond between two individuals.

No-one can hold your hand
No one can guide or support you through this journey
Now through the delicate darkness you go
Now you embark on a challenging and uncertain path
If I trespass, even once, then
If I overstep my boundaries, even once, then
It all just disappears
Our connection and everything we've built will vanish
Clock starts over
We have to start anew and rebuild from scratch
As long as I am loving you
As long as I continue to love you
You'll never be alone
You will always have my presence and support
As long as you keep wanting me around
As long as you desire my presence in your life
But this is one trip you're gonna have to take alone
However, this particular journey you must undertake by yourself
When you come back you'll find me here
When you return from your journey, I will still be here
Where I belong, mm mm
In the place that I rightfully belong, deep in your heart

No-one can hold your hand, now through the delicate darkness you go.
If I trespass, even once then it all just disappears, clock starts over.
As long as I am loving you, you'll never be alone, long as you keep wanting me around.
This is one trip you're gonna have to take alone, when you come back you'll find me here where I belong.
hmm.., hmm.., la-la-la-la, hmm.., hmm...
Soft like sand, sift through your hands, memories we both agree are not reality.
As long as you are loving me, I know I'm not alone, even if you're nowhere to be found.
Sometimes life takes you back to places you run from, I'll be right here if ever you come home.

@tophsupremacy6580
Damn i just realized Hayley's songs right now are those type of songs you'll love to listen when your alone and living alone.
@Andjela912
Exactly
I am back living with my parents for now. Loved listening to her when I lived alone, and love to revisit now, cause I know her music will be there when I'm alone again.
It's just comforting and beautiful.
@TheLexlexlex
Hayley Fucking Williams decided that before the world ends she'd at least own two years in a row. That's my girl. This is real raw emotional inspiring music. She did it again.
