Caroline
Jamie N Commons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raise me up
I've fallen so low
Too far from your eyes
Too far from your grace
Still you would ask more from me
And I break myself on your walls
Time again
Oh Caroline
Can't you hear me calling you
From the night
From the day
Calling you

Take these dreams quietly talking
Life I lay with these hands
Forcibly crying
Lay me down
Deftly I try so when will you rest on my soul
Never again

Oh Caroline
Can't you hear me calling you
From the night
From the day

Oh Caroline
Can't you hear me calling you
From the night




From the day
Calling you

Overall Meaning

The song "Caroline" by Jamie N Commons is an emotional and heart-wrenching plea to someone named Caroline. The lyrics begin by expressing the singer's distress and feelings of inadequacy, as they have fallen so low and are far from Caroline's eyes and grace. However, despite this, Caroline continues to ask more from the singer, causing them to repeatedly break themselves on her walls.


Throughout the song, the singer calls out to Caroline, desperately hoping to catch her attention and be heard. They speak of dreams and a life they lay with their hands, but it seems as though everything they do is met with disappointment and frustration. They even beg Caroline to "rest on [their] soul," but it seems as though their pleas go unanswered.


Line by Line Meaning

Raise me up
I need you to lift me out of my current state


I've fallen so low
I am in a difficult spot and struggling to get out


Too far from your eyes
I am distant from your acceptance and love


Too far from your grace
I am isolated from your kindness and compassion


Still you would ask more from me
Despite my shortcomings, you expect me to keep trying


And I break myself on your walls
I struggle against the obstacles you have put in my path


Time again
Repeatedly, I face these challenges


Oh Caroline
I am reaching out to you, Caroline


Can't you hear me calling you
I am crying out for your attention and help


From the night
Even in the darkest moments


From the day
And in the bright moments as well


Take these dreams quietly talking
I have hopes and desires, and they are restless


Life I lay with these hands
I have worked hard to achieve what I have


Forcibly crying
I am emotionally overwhelmed


Lay me down
I am exhausted and need to rest


Deftly I try so when will you rest on my soul
I am doing my best to make progress, but when can I feel at peace?


Never again
I don't want to feel this way forever


Calling you
I am still reaching out to you, Caroline
