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 celebration of growth and transformation, both physically and emotionally, as well as the idea of moving forward despite obstacles. The opening verse, "I see the walls, then see them fall, you break through them all," suggests that the singer has faced significant barriers but has had the strength to overcome them. The idea of growth is expanded upon with lines such as "I see you crawl, now you stand tall, grow and grow till tall," which emphasizes the image of a person gradually increasing in physical size and strength.
The second stanza is a celebration of nature and the power it has to inspire and transform us. The storm and lake imagery symbolize the turbulent and unpredictable nature of life, and how we must embrace it to truly grow. The line "We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow" suggests that we each have the opportunity to create something beautiful and enduring if we are willing to put in the work. This is reinforced by the lines "We'll break seeds, we'll grow," which implies a willingness to embrace vulnerability and expose oneself to potential failure in order to succeed in the long run.
