UNIVERSE
Jennifer Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take me somewhere else
Is this something I am dreaming?
Never wake me if I'm sleeping
take me with you to your universe
Slowly lift me to your own world
Because lying in your arms is sweet surrender
you feel me with just one look
You read me like a book
Overcome the fears that I have hidden
It steers me back towards the rhytm
take me with you to your universe
Slowly lift me to your own world
Because lying in your arms is sweet surrender
And I never had a love so tender and complete
let me glide along with you towards the heavens
Let me float between the living and the dreaming
take me with you to your universe
Slowly lift me to your own world
Because lying in your arms is sweet surrender
And I never had a love so tender and complete
In “Universe” by Jennifer Brown, the singer is expressing the transformative power of love. She describes how her lover takes her away from herself, into a dreamlike state that feels surreal yet comforting. She trusts her lover to guide her to their universe, which is unknown to her but seems as if it is a sacred, almost spiritual place. The singer speaks of the tenderness and completeness of this love, and how it has helped her overcome fear and insecurities.
The chorus repeats the desire to be taken into the lover’s universe and to slowly be lifted into a world that is whole and complete. The metaphor of being carried by the lover towards the heavens and floating between the living and dreaming is a powerful image that conveys the sense of being protected and elevated. The song is an ode to the power of love to transform and heal, to ease anxiety and to give a sense of purpose and belonging.
