Would You
Iris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If i'm out of touch
and need reminding
just tell me i have been found
i'm walking to a new dimension
i have left familiar ground
all the things i do
they may seem to you
as false behavior but i cant
really change your mind
this is my time
annie you would not understand

I've become blind
have i lost my mind
yes and no but annie would i lie to you
i've got control
this is my show
listen to me annie would i lie to you

somebody filled my head
with enough delusion
they have let me out to play
when you see me lie back
in temptations arms
and have it all my way
i still have my name
i still have my face
i have not run away from home
does it seem so wrong
if i now embrace
every single thing i've never known

I've become blind
have i lost my mind
yes and no but annie would i lie to you
i've got control
this is my show
listen to me annie would i lie to you

and tonight i'll stray i'll go too far
but only in your eyes
and for my own good
all i knew will soon be dying
soon be dying

I've become blind
have i lost my mind
yes and no but annie would i lie to you
i've got control
this is my show
listen to me annie would i lie to you

i still have my name
i still have my face
i have not run away from home
does it seem so wrong
if i now embrace
every single thing i've never known

I've become blind
have i lost my mind
yes and no but annie would i lie to you
i've got control
this is my show
listen to me annie would i lie to you




annie would i lie to you
annie would i lie to you

Overall Meaning

The song "Would You" by Iris is about an individual who is searching for their own identity and trying to break away from familiar ground. The lyrics suggest that the singer is experiencing a time of personal growth and development, but at the same time, they may be misunderstood by others, such as the character "Annie". The singer is aware of the perceptions of others, and their actions may seem like "false behavior" to many, however, they cannot change anyone's mind. This is the individual's time to shine, and they are in control of their actions.


The lyrics suggest that the singer has been influenced by others who have filled their head with enough delusion to let them out to play. The singer is willing to embrace every single thing that they have never known before, and while this might seem wrong to some, it is an important part of their own personal growth. The singer acknowledges that they may go too far and will stray, but only in the eyes of others. All that they have known in their previous life will soon be dying away.


Overall, "Would You" is a powerful and introspective song about personal growth, self-awareness, and taking charge of one's own life. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has ever felt the need to break away from the familiar and embrace the unknown.

@Blueknightex

I almost cried when she and Finland didn't make it through. Belgium people are a little too harsh on this poor girl. Iris do not worry. You are still young. You have your whole life ahead of you. Good luck in the future to Belgium. One day you guys will be in the finals again. Greetings from New Zealand.

@greece26greece

@vendexmusicnetherlands4692

Love it.. great song, love the lyrics and her timing is perfect!

@LALALALAicanthearyou

She sang good. I've seen her on several other programms here in Belgium, and this is seriously the best version of the song I've heard so far. So she doesn't have anything to feel bad about. She's still so young, and yet she performs in front of so many people. Respect!
