UNTIL
Jenae Ailia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe when I'm older then
I'll have made up my mind
Maybe then I'll dream of
More than ospreys passing time

I can't come until you call me
I will run until I'm falling
Won't get up until you catch me
Then I'll wake up realize I'm dreaming

Maybe soon the day will come
When I feel like I'm someone
More than someone else's need
Underneath a pear tree

I can't come until you call me
I will run until I'm falling
Won't get up until you catch me
Then I'll wake up realize I'm dreaming

What if the day never comes
And I taste the truth on my tongue
What if hope runs out at last
And freedom's fable to a man

I can't come until you call me
I will run until I'm falling




Won't get up until you catch me
Then I'll wake up realize I'm dreaming

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Until" by Jenae Ailia are reflective and contemplative, perhaps stemming from a sense of uncertainty and the desire for direction in life. The first two lines of the song suggest a doubt about one's own decisiveness and self-governance - 'Maybe when I'm older then / I'll have made up my mind.' This could indicate a lack of confidence, or it could be interpreted as a recognition of the natural process of growth and maturation that helps individuals understand themselves and the world around them better as they age. The next line - 'Maybe then I'll dream of / More than ospreys passing time' - suggests that the singer seeks something more meaningful and purposeful than just going through the motions of life, something that they can infuse with their own personality and goals.


The chorus of the song underscores the idea that the singer is waiting for something outside of themselves to give them purpose and direction - 'I can't come until you call me / I will run until I'm falling / Won't get up until you catch me / Then I'll wake up realize I'm dreaming.' The repeated motif of 'you' here could refer to a person, a goal, or an opportunity that the singer is waiting for as a signal to take action. The lyrics indicate that the singer feels like they must be activated or roused by an outside force before they can feel confident in their actions or decisions.


The second verse of "Until" reveals a deeper longing for individualism and a sense of self-worth - 'Maybe soon the day will come / When I feel like I'm someone / More than someone else's need / Underneath a pear tree.' These lines convey the sentiment of wanting to feel significant and valuable not only to others but also to oneself, which would allow the singer to realize their potential and feel fulfilled. This brief introspective stanza is an insightful reflection on the basic human need for identity and recognition.


Overall, "Until" portrays the inner workings and thoughts of an individual who is in search of purpose and guidance in life, highlighting the idea that sometimes one has to rely on outside factors to fuel their drive and passion.


Line by Line Meaning

Maybe when I'm older then
Perhaps when I am older, I will have figured things out


I'll have made up my mind
I'll have finally decided on what I want


Maybe then I'll dream of
Perhaps at that point, I will start to imagine


More than ospreys passing time
More than just mundane moments flying by


I can't come until you call me
I won't show up until you ask me to


I will run until I'm falling
I will keep running until I physically can't anymore


Won't get up until you catch me
I won't stand up again until you reach out to help me


Then I'll wake up realize I'm dreaming
Only then will I wake up and accept that it was all a dream


Maybe soon the day will come
Perhaps soon, a day will arrive


When I feel like I'm someone
When I'm able to see myself as an individual


More than someone else's need
And not just a person needed by others


Underneath a pear tree
In a peaceful and serene environment


What if the day never comes
What if that day never arrives


And I taste the truth on my tongue
And I finally come to terms with reality


What if hope runs out at last
What if I lose all hope in the end


And freedom's fable to a man
And the concept of being free is just a story told to people
