Around Us
Jónsi Lyrics

I see the walls
I am aware of the obstacles and barriers present in this world.

Then see them fall
I witness these obstacles being overcome and dismantled.

You break through them all
You have the power to shatter these barriers with your strength and resilience.

I see you crawl
I observe your struggles and hardships.

Now you stand tall
But now you have overcome these difficulties and are strong and confident.

Grow and grow till tall
You continue to grow and develop into a stronger and more capable person.

In stonehill scream
Even in the face of difficulty and pain, we should not be silenced.

Against the stream
We may face opposition, but we can still persevere and move forward.

Our eyes watering
Our emotions may overwhelm us at times, but we should still continue to move forward.

Jump into lakes
Taking risks and diving into the unknown can lead to growth and discovery.

The surface breaks
We break through the superficial and see the deeper levels of the world around us.

We swim underwater and are now
We explore the unknown depths of ourselves and the world around us, becoming more aware and knowledgeable.

Into
Fully immersing ourselves into new experiences and challenges.

You
Refers to the audience or the individual listener, encouraging them to explore and discover.

We all want to grow
As humans, we have an innate desire to improve and develop ourselves.

In the seeds we were sown
Our beginnings and origins play a role in shaping us and our desires.

We all want to go
We have a natural urge to experience new things and travel.

With the breeze we were blown
Our lives and journeys are influenced by external forces and factors outside of our control.

We all want to know
Curiosity is a natural human trait and we have a desire to understand and discover.

And we're all meant to go
Our lives have purpose and meaning, and we are destined for certain experiences and paths.

To a place in the now
The present moment is important and we should focus on experiencing and growing in the present.

A sea forest
A metaphor for a mystical and magical place, full of wonder and curiosity.

A treasure chest
Refers to the abundance and variety of experiences and knowledge that can be discovered in life.

Full of labyrinths
Life is complex and full of twists, turns, and challenges that we must navigate.

I see a door
There are always opportunities and possibilities available to us, waiting to be explored.

Holes in the floor
Challenges and obstacles may appear unexpectedly and disrupt our path.

Degrades your sweet call
These setbacks may be discouraging and frustrating, but we must keep pushing forward.

There's some sense you bring to us
The artist acknowledges the wisdom and guidance that the listener provides.

You pin both the wings on us
The listener or audience inspires and motivates the artist to grow and take flight.

I hear, see you sing for us
The listener or audience provides support and encouragement to the singer through their words and actions.

You go tie a swing around us
The audience or individual provides a sense of freedom and playfulness, adding joy to the singer's life.
