Promises
Jorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hide from the sun deep down in my hole
Tears are turning into heavy clay
Blends with rust in my pain machine
You gave me promises but I can't force you to feel
And I cry to myself 'cause I know what is real
My silent loneliness the darkness swallows my day
I can't lie to myself 'cause I know what I feel oh
Stabbing pain in the core of my heart
Cut by you and now I bleed for your love
Touch my scar and feel the layers of sorrow
Your coldness blows like a chill in the night
You gave me promises but I can't force you to feel
And I cry to myself 'cause I know what is real
My silent loneliness the darkness swallows my day
I can't lie to myself 'cause I know what I feel
I know what's real yeah aah whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Like a crow in the black of the night
Hide from the sun deep down in my hole
My tears are falling like hard rain
I never saw the wicked games you played
You gave me promises but I can't force you to feel
And I cry to myself 'cause I know what is real
My silent loneliness the darkness swallows my day
I can't lie to myself 'cause I know what I feel
I know what's real oh baby and I can't force you to feel no
Oh oh yeah yeah you gave me promises
The lyrics of Jorn's song "Promises" describe the pain and heartache caused by unfulfilled promises and a lack of emotional connection in a relationship. The singer compares himself to a crow hiding in the darkness, unable to escape his feelings of sadness and loneliness. The tears he sheds have become heavy, like clay mixed with rust, and the pain he feels is like a stab to the heart. His scars represent the layers of sorrow caused by the emotional distance of his partner. Despite the promises made, the singer cannot force his partner to feel the same way he does, and he is left to grieve alone, swallowed up by the darkness of his emotions.
The lyrics of "Promises" are powerful and emotive, offering a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and relationships. The imagery of the crow and the darkness provide a metaphorical backdrop for the singer's pain, serving as a powerful reminder of the emotional weight of unmet expectations. Through his lyrics, Jorn captures the essence of heartbreak and the deep sense of sadness that comes with the end of a relationship.

A great song. The most important lyric here is "but I can't force you to feel". Jorn is speaking to the woman he parted ways with--in other words, we can never force someone to love us. Great chorus
Dana Dane
Every man can relate to these words and you know what we dodged a bullet in the end. Great lyrics and song in general .
