Who You Are
Ivy Quainoo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seem's no light can wake you up
But still you know, I want to try
To find out what's behind your sign
'Cause we all need someone to hold us
And we all need someone to hold us
And we all need someone to care
And we all need someone to lean on
Tell me, who you are
Tell me, something that matters
Tell me, who you are
There's nothing to hide
All that I'm asking, is who you are
Who you really are
I've come down that water falled
To win love back and risk it all
I just can't get happen you
Maybe cause I've been there too
And we all need someone to hold us
And we all need someone who cares
And we all need someone to lean on
I will be there
(I will be there)
Tell me, who you are
tell me, something that matters
Tell me, who you are
There's nothing to hide
All that I'm asking, is who you are
Who you really are
And we all need someone to call on
And we all need someone who cares
And we all need someone who will be there
Tell me, who you are
tell me, something that matters
Tell me, who you are
There's nothing to hide
All that I'm asking, is who you are
Who you really are
The song "Who You Are" speaks about the importance of human connection and the need for someone to be there for us during times of vulnerability. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that the person they are singing to is going through a tough time and seems to have lost hope. Nevertheless, the singer wants to try to understand what's going on and find out what's behind the person's facade to help them feel better. The chorus repeatedly asks the person to reveal themselves and tell the singer who they really are. The singer asserts that there is nothing to hide, and all that they're asking for is honesty and openness.
The second verse shifts the focus to the singer's personal experience and the inherent vulnerability that comes with loving someone. The singer declares that they have risked it all to win back someone they loved and understands the difficulties the person is going through. The chorus repeats itself, emphasizing the importance of someone to lean on during difficult times.
Overall, the song's message is clear: we all need support and care from others during tough times, and the strongest connections are those built on honesty and vulnerability.
