Iris
K-e Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you meet that special someone that can make you forget
About the trauma and the pain you've been traveling with
An umbrella in the rain when the storm's rolling in
Type of love that can make your whole reality spin
Type of love that perseveres like new age trends
Meaning that no matter what, love will always win
Two hearts become ignited the love of Barry and Iris
And that, true love illuminates the dark
Know that, I can feel you if your near or far
A presence gifted from God I swear you're my lightning rod
Now I'm pacing, walking, my heart's racing
Thought of shooting my shot, but I'm thinking that she's taken
Never mind that, me and baby girl, we go way back
Like the leather seats of a 67 Maybach
Back then, I didn't notice her though, If I could do it all again, I would make sure she knows
But her and I no longer kids, in our studies no more
Pray the words will come my way like a priest or a pope
I'm on my Indiana Jones, still learning the ropes
In my 20s, but I've still got some growing to go
She playing mind games, thinking that she's Clifford DeVoe
Even so, if it's for you, then to the moon I will go, go
Said I, and I don't know if this a gift or a curse
Stuck between if I should chase you or just live with the hurt
But just know, if you're in danger, Imma get to you first
Even if there are many earths, you're my lightning in every universe
They say always trust your heart
And that, true love illuminates the dark
Know that, I can feel you if you're near or far
A presence gifted from God, I swear you're my lightning rod I just
So lady luck just smiled on me, I saw you at the shop today, you were sipping some tea
Thinking, gee, she's by herself, should I go up and speak
Almost walked the other way, but I knew I'd lose sleep
Gotta see, so I walk over and I tell her hello
It's a little strange that you're sitting here on your own
She replied back, I wonder what had took you so long
Two hearts are now united the love of Barry and Iris
They say always trust your heart
And that, true love illuminates the dark
Know that, I can feel you if you're near or far
(The love of Barry and Iris)
They say always trust your heart
And that, true love illuminates the dark
Know that, I can feel you if you're near or far
A presence gifted from God, I swear you're my lightning rod I just

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later, it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know, you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

I know how being infatuated feels, and how having that ripped away can hurt.
I know how depression feels.
I have been bullied and pushed around.
I know how it feels when your parents look at you like a plague, or a crack in a perfect glass castle.
I have stepped up to the ledge, looked down, and pondered stepping out and falling away.
I know how it feels to talk to an angel, who stopped me from ending my sad life; but, now longs to end hers....
I know how it feels to die; to look up through jaded eyes and feel nothing.
And, the person I just went out with, and told my feelings to, has a boyfriend that I never knew about until now.
Kellin's voice, the music, and the feelings put into these lyrics, all call me back from that ledge for the second time.
And that is how powerful this song feels to me.

My best friend Austin passed away due to a car crash last night and this was his favorite song ever, especially this cover. Him and his wife would listen to SWS all the time, and Austin was actually the one that got me into their music just months ago… Sleeping With Sirens and their music has helped me so much, they’re one of my favorite bands.
Thank you Sleeping With Sirens for keeping Austin happy. And thank you Jesus for letting Austin live the life he had and for not letting him take anything for granted up to his final breath.
Rest In Peace, Austin. I love you so freaking much. Thank you for being amazing. I hope Jesus Christ gave you a warm welcome.
Edit: Thank you guys for sending in your condolences, prayers, and love - I appreciate it so much. To everyone who’s been commenting sweet things, just know that I read them and hit the like button on all of them! If I could heart them, I totally would.
