Ida Maria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When will you see me through
Oh God my mind is eating my heart out
Oh God my heart is beating my mind up
Oh God, I can't believe in you
Just because I'm afraid you're true
In the song "See Me Through" by Ida Maria, the artist reflects on her internal struggle with faith and the fear of confronting it. The opening lines, "Oh God, now when's the time for me, when will you see me through" reveal a desperation for guidance, yet a sense of doubt that it will come. The repeated calling out to God shows a sense of frustration and questioning about the meaning of life and what it all amounts to.
The artist then goes on to talk about how her thoughts are consuming her heart and vice versa, showing how internal conflicts can often seem overwhelming and confusing. The lines, "My heart is beating my mind up" show how strong emotions can sometimes overpower rational thought, which can be a challenge for many people on their spiritual journey. The artist then goes on to confess that she cannot believe in God because she is afraid that it might be true. The line “Just because I'm afraid you're true” further suggests that spirituality can be a scary thing to some, as it may mean facing uncomfortable truths and uncertainties that can be challenging to reconcile.
Overall, "See Me Through" is a raw and honest exploration of the internal struggle that many individuals may face when it comes to faith and spirituality. It reflects on the doubts, fears, and questioning that can come with this journey, and ultimately, the search for clarity and meaning.
