Mine
ILLENIUM/Phoebe Ryan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gave up everything in a slow fall down to the floor
Life was escaping me, I couldn't find myself
'Til it was all lost, not anymore
I'm holding on to all the pieces of my heart's debris
'Til it's time
I'll pull it together and fix myself eventually
I found gold in the wreckage, put it on a necklace
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I wear it like a message so I don't forget it
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I know that it's mine no matter what I do
I know that it's mine whether I win or lose
And even though my heart needs to take its time
I know that it's mine, I know that it's mine
Facing the change, but it's still tough to see
At first, I fought it all, I was so mean
I'm still unsure how it's supposed to be
But taking every day now by the skin of my teeth
Until I learn
I'm holding on to all the pieces of my heart's debris
'Til it's time, oh
I'll pull it together and fix myself eventually
And know it's mine
I found gold in the wreckage, put it on a necklace
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I wear it like a message so I don't forget it
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I know that it's mine no matter what I do
I know that it's mine whether I win or lose
And even though my heart needs to take its time
I know that it's mine, I know that it's mine
I found gold in the wreckage, put it on a necklace
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I wear it like a message so I don't forget it
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I know that it's mine no matter what I do
I know that it's mine whether I win or lose
And even though my heart needs to take its time
I know that it's mine, I know that it's mine
The lyrics to "Mine" by ILLENIUM/Phoebe Ryan describe the personal struggles of the singer before finding independence and self-reliance. The opening lines paint a vivid picture of the singer's suffocation during a difficult time. However, the singer is now able to pick herself up and "pull it together" after falling apart. She is holding onto the "pieces of [her] heart's debris" until the time comes that she can rebuild herself.
The chorus of "Mine" is particularly empowering, as the singer reminds herself that she is in control of her own life. The phrase "I know that it's mine" repeats throughout the song, showing the singer's newfound sense of ownership over her thoughts and emotions. She found something valuable in the wreckage of her past and chooses to wear it like a message to herself. She knows that the journey forward may be difficult and uncertain, but she trusts that she will figure it out eventually. The song ultimately serves as a reminder that personal growth is a continuous process and that it is possible to find strength and power from within.

[Verse 1]
When it went down, it was so hard to breathe
I gave up everything in a slow fall down to the floor
Life was escaping me, I couldn't find myself
'Til it was all lost
Not anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm holding on to all the pieces of my heart's debris
'Til it's time
I'll pull it together and fix myself eventually
And know it's mine
[Chorus]
I found gold in the wreckage, put it on a necklace
Keepin' it cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I wear it like a message so I don't forget it
Keepin' it cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I know that it's mine, mine, mine
I know that it's mine, mine, mine
I know that it's mine, mine, mine
I know that it's mine, mine, mine
[Post-Chorus]
I know that it's mine
I know that it's mine
I know that it's mine, mine, mine
[Verse 2]
Facing the change, but it's still tough to see
At first, I fought it all, I was so mean
I'm still unsure how it's supposed to be
But taking every day now by the skin of my teeth
Until I learn
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm holding on to all the pieces of my heart's debris
'Til it's time
I'll pull it together and fix myself eventually
And know it's mine

I found gold in the wreckage, put it on a necklace
Keepin' it cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I wear it like a message so I don't forget it
Keepin' it cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
