Diamonds
Johnnyswim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the depth of every fear
There were diamonds, diamonds
Waiting to break out of here.
Don't you think I hear the whispers
Those subtle lies, those angry pleas
There just demons, demons
We're the fire, from the sun
We're the light when the day is done
We are the brave, the chosen ones
We're the diamonds, diamonds
Rising about the dust.
Oh oh, rising about the dust
Oh oh, rising about the dust
Oh oh, rising about the dust
Oh oh, rising about the dust
All your curses will surrender
Every demon worth will kneel
They're just mountains, mountains
about to turn into fields.
We're the fire, from the sun
We're the light when the day is done
We are the brave, we're the chosen ones
We're the diamonds, diamonds
Rising about the dust.
Oh oh, rising about the dust
Oh oh, rising about the dust
Oh oh, rising about the dust
Oh oh, rising, rising, rising, rising
You've taken down
So many others
Oh but you'll know my name when you see
And in these ashes I'm stronger still
You'll learn to feel my pain, yeah you will.
You've taken down
So many others
Oh but you'll know my name when you see
And in these ashes I'm stronger still
You'll learn to feel my pain, yeah you will.
You'll learn to feel my pain, yeah you will, yeah you will, yeah you will.
We're the fire, from the sun
We're the light when the day is done
We are the brave, we are the chosen ones
We're the diamonds, diamonds
We're the diamonds, diamonds
We're the diamonds, diamonds
We're the diamonds, diamonds
Rising about the dust.
Oh oh, rising out the dust
Oh oh, rising out the dust
Oh oh, rising out the dust
Oh oh
Oh oh, rising about the dust
Oh oh, rising about the dust
Oh oh, rising, rising, rising
Oh oh
The lyrics of Johnnyswim's song "Diamonds" are about resilience and triumph over difficulties. The song speaks to the idea that every trauma, every heartache and every fear have hidden gifts within them - diamonds that can only be found if one perseveres and pushes through the pain. The opening lines of the song set the stage for this message and suggest that even in the wake of every heartache and the depth of fears, there is always a glimmer of hope represented by the diamonds that are waiting to break out.
The song goes on to address the subtle lies and angry pleas that sometimes linger in the mind after an experience of pain or trauma. These are the demons that the singer see as wishing to be free, like her. What's interesting about this part of the song is the use of the word "whispers" to describe these internal demons or doubts. It suggests that these fears and doubts are not always loud or obvious but rather tend to stay in the background, as whispers, yet they still have the power to cripple and prevent one from seeing the diamonds that are waiting in the aftermath of pain.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the strength and power that comes from persevering through hardships and speaks to the ability of humans to rise above their difficulties and shine, much like diamonds. These are people who are brave and chosen, who act like fire or light, and who are rising above the dust. Finally, the song ends with a message of triumph and the assurance that even after being taken down by others, one can rise out of the ashes stronger than ever.

You've taken down
You have defeated
So many others
So many people before me
Oh but you'll know my name when you see
But you will recognize that I persevered
And in these ashes I'm stronger still
Despite the hardships, I am even more resilient
You'll learn to feel my pain, yeah you will.
You will come to understand the difficulties I faced.
We're the diamonds, diamonds

Rising out the dust.
Emerging triumphant
Oh oh, rising about the dust
Overcoming the negativity

I named my son Abner after this guy! His solo performance at lakewood impacted me forever. I wish he would record a professional version of it solo. This man puts immense emotion in his tone. His wife is good too but sheesh
