Around Us
Jónsi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You break through them all
I see you crawl, now you stand tall
Grow and grow till tall
In storm we scream against the stream, our eyes watering
Jump into lakes, the surface breaks
We swim underwater, and our mouths
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all want to go with the breeze we will blow
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I
I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth
I see a door, holes in the floor
We'll break seeds, we'll grow
There's songs, songs you bring to us
You pin both the wings on us
I hear, I see you sing for us
You go tie a string around us
There's songs, songs you bring to us
You pin both the wings on us
I hear, I see you sing for us
You go tie a string around us
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all want to go with the breeze we will blow
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all want to go with the breeze we will blow
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I
I see you grow
I see you grow
Grow taller
(And our mouths
In tune)
The song "Around Us" by Jónsi is a beautiful and poetic reminder that we all share a common desire to grow and develop. The song starts with the image of walls falling down and someone breaking through them, which can be interpreted as an indication of the power of perseverance and determination. This is a message of hope and encouragement that no obstacle is insurmountable if we are courageous enough to push through it.
The following verse speaks of the beauty and synchronicity of nature. The imagery of screaming against a stream while our eyes are watering, and then jumping into a lake where the surface breaks, is evocative of the struggle of life and how it can sometimes feel like we are fighting against the current. But then we swim underwater, and our mouths fall into tune with the rhythm of the water, highlighting the importance of finding harmony and flow in our lives.
The chorus is a powerful call to action, urging us to embrace growth, to follow the path laid out for us by the seed we sow and the wind we blow. It encourages us to stay curious and explore the unknown, to break open doors and find treasures hidden in labyrinths. The repetition of "you and I" throughout the chorus reminds us of the oneness we share as human beings, and how the journey towards growth is one we all take together.
Overall, "Around Us" is a beautiful song that speaks to our shared human experience of growth and development. It is a reminder that we all face challenges, but with perseverance, we can break through walls and find harmony in the world around us.

I see the walls, then see them fall
I witness barriers and obstacles, then they crumble and vanish
You break through them all
You overpower and shatter every obstacle in your path
I see you crawl, now you stand tall
I observe you struggle and rise to success and elevated stature
Grow and grow till tall
Continue to expand and improve until achieving great height
In storm we scream against the stream, our eyes watering
Amid adversity, we vocally oppose the tide, our eyes tearful
Jump into lakes, the surface breaks
Dive into lakes with such force that the water ripples and trembles
We swim underwater, and our mouths
We efficiently navigate the depths while also being verbally in-sync
In tune
Harmoniously coordinated with each other
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We each aspire to develop and flourish from the effort and investment we put forth

To a final location where we will ultimately end up together
I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth
I perceive a dense forest, abundant with a labyrinth of secrets and riches
I see a door, holes in the floor
I visualize a door, and the floor littered with gaps and crevices
We'll break seeds, we'll grow
We will shatter inhibitions and cultivate new potentials
There's songs, songs you bring to us
You provide us with melodies
You pin both the wings on us
You fasten and equip us with the means to reach new heights

You secure us and guide us with a tethering connection

I perceive you evolving and maturing
Grow taller
Continue to increase in height and stature

I like the original better, but this is a nice remix. I've loved Jónsi's music my whole life and Around Us is without a doubt one of my favorites.

I remember listening to this a long time ago. It was the first house/electro song that I liked and enjoyed. This brings so many memories back from when I used to hear this song on the Nature movie trailer and got excited. Now I'm here, older, and missing those old days:(
