Walls
Juan Miguel Severo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See I'm not used to being asked how my day went
Or waking up to a message saying good morning
I'm not used to reporting what I just had for breakfast
Or squeezing my brain just to sustain a conversation
I'm not used to smiling for two hours straight or sometimes even more
I don't think I've ever stared at my phone with this much anticipation
I am always on my toes and waiting
for the next words you will be saying
I'd almost forgotten how this feels
And I know that nothing's set in
stone but this much I wanna let you know
I want you to stay
Because you got a hold on me so come here closer
Let me tell you more about how you fill these holes I have in my heart
And I can't remember how long it's been
But since you're right here next to me I'd say
You got a hold on me and I want nothing more than hold you now
Oh hold you now
Sure I'm used to being a shoulder someone leans on
Or a hand that gets sweaty too that much
But it's strange how your head feels like a pillow instead
Or how my skin's at ease with your touch
So won't you let me help you leave the past behind let's walk away
I want you to stay
Because you got a hold on me so come here closer
Let me tell you more about how you fill these holes I have in my heart
And I can't remember how long it's been
But since you're right here next to me I'd say
You have a hold on me somehow
Is it okay if I told you now
That I intend to stay and climb the walls you built around your heart
Let me take everything that holds you back
And hold on to what we have right now
We all got a past that we drag around and drag us down
Why let it ruin us when we are here, we are now
I'm not used to this I'm sorry
I could get used to this for sure
I'm done with these sad stories
I can't see myself in them anymore
Because you got a hold on me so come here closer
Let me tell you more about how you fill these holes I have in my heart
And I can't remember how long it's been
But since you're right here next to me I'd say
You got a hold on me somehow
Is it okay if I told you now
That I intend to stay and climb the walls you built around your heart
Let me take everything that holds you back
And hold on to what we have right now
Is it okay if I told you now
Is it okay if I told you now




Is it okay if I told you now
That I want nothing more, nothing more than hold you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Juan Miguel Severo's song Walls speak about how the singer is not used to having someone who cares for him or having someone to hold onto. He talks about how he is not accustomed to reporting what he had for breakfast, or even smiling for long hours. The singer talks about how his life was bereft of conversation, both verbal and tactile, from someone who is close to him. He recalls that he always had to be on his toes, waiting for something to happen, and that he had forgotten how being with someone feels.


However, the singer admits that he wants the person he is with to stay, as they have filled the holes in his heart. He acknowledges that nothing in life is set in stone, but he wants the person to know that he/she has a hold on him. The singer wants the person to let go of the past and the walls he/she has built around the heart, and hold onto what they have at present. The lyrics are about the singer's realization that he wants to be with someone, that he wants to hold onto the person and never let go.


In summary, Walls is about the singer's realization that there is someone in his life who makes him feel alive and fills the emptiness in his heart that he never knew existed.
