Around Us
J๓nsi 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 filled with poetic lyrics that capture the various themes of growth, perseverance, and the desire to explore the unknown. The opening lines of the song, "I see the walls, then see them fall, you break through them all," immediately suggest that the song is about overcoming obstacles and pushing through barriers. This is further emphasized in the next line, "I see you crawl, now you stand tall, grow and grow till tall," which acts as a metaphor for the journey from a vulnerable and uncertain state to one of strength and confidence.
The following verses delve deeper into the idea of growth and the journey towards self-discovery. "In storm, we scream against the stream, our eyes watering" highlights the difficulty of the journey but also the determination to persevere. The line "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," reflects the universal desire to find purpose and meaning in life.
The final verse, "I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth, I see a door, holes in the floor, We'll break seeds, we'll grow," suggests that the journey towards growth and self-discovery is filled with unexpected twists and turns. The conclusion of the song is fittingly optimistic, celebrating the growth that has been achieved along the way: "I see you grow, I see you grow, grow taller."
