Kan. R. Gao Laura Shigihara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hell-o! My goodness.
I didn't know I was here.
Do you know my name?
(It ain't goin' wrong when you try.)
Always got to try
No matter how long that shit take,
Yeah, yeah.
Whatever stops you from dreaming,
Whatever tries to stop you from living, flip it.

Welcome home,
Cause right now what I have to do is,
I've gotta amp myself up as well as you.

So yeah, so what it took me,
Like, maybe two years and shit,
But I'm feeling prepared,
You know what I'm saying,
And I'm feeling a little more ready for the world,
And less lost, as I once was.

So come on, what you waiting on?
Fill me, fill me, fill me.




Mwa, uh, yeah.
Mwa, uh, yeah.

Overall Meaning

The song "Piano" by Kan. R. Gao and Laura Shigihara is a powerful and motivational piece that inspires listeners to never stop pursuing their dreams. The opening lyrics suggest the singer's surprise at finding themselves in their current situation, but they are determined to succeed despite any obstacles they may face. The phrase "Do you know my name?" could indicate a search for identity or recognition, but the singer remains undeterred, declaring that one must always try, no matter how long it takes.


The following verse encourages listeners to flip whatever may be holding them back from pursuing their dreams. This can be interpreted as a call to overcome self-doubt or external challenges that may impede one's progress. The phrase "Welcome home" suggests a sense of belonging and comfort in pursuing one's passions, and the singer urges listeners to "amp" themselves up and be ready to take on the world.


The final verse reveals the singer's personal experience of overcoming obstacles and becoming more confident and prepared for success. The repeated phrase "Fill me" could be interpreted as a desire to be filled with inspiration or motivation, further driving home the song's message of perseverance and determination.

The beginning made me laugh. Honestly haven't cracked a smile in what feels like days. By the end of this song I was crying, so this is a great song. Nice cover though Rieves, how do you make your piano sound like a guitar? That's cool. Also gonna subscribe too Shigihara's as well. I feel a lot better now. Love the lyrics.

Man.. I suffer even, because, I don't can express my feelings through a story or a song. It's funny... I can feel with music, the music brings me sometimes in another world, but I dont can express myself. Sometimes I sing, when I'm alone, but not as good as you. I don't can play a intrument and my voice is not good enough, to express, what I feel - and thats make me sometimes sick, realy... I love your songs, and your storys are just amazing. Sry 4 my bad english, but I want to thank you...

RonnieSilverlake
