Anthem
Kevin Matisyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The burden's to me to lift you up
'Cause you are nothing like the rest
Put your hands in my hands and rest
'Cause I won't let you fall apart
My mind is open for you to close
With thoughts of me and how you will never know
That you feel on the inside but I'm
Not right most of the time
and you can feel the outside caving in
I'll doubt you for a change I doubt you'll go to waste
You're far more braver now than you could ever think
Come to me with open arms and fold into me it’ll shut you up
And you might just be the best with your hair in my hand and fists
And you're safe right here
This door is open for you to close
So leave to me to become what I will never know
It's a dark, cold world to be left alone in
For the revival of an anthem
And we'll create all this flicker with such a little light
such a little light, our voices will unite
And we’ll hypnotize them when we sing…
The lyrics to Kevin Matisyn's song "Anthem" speak to a desire to be there for someone in need, to lift them up when they are down, and to offer them something that they cannot find elsewhere. The singer promises to be the one person who will not let their subject fall apart, who will support them and be there for them through thick and thin. They offer a place of safety and comfort, a space where their subject can let go and feel secure.
The chorus of the song speaks to a broader desire to make a difference in the world through music. The lyrics suggest that even in the darkest, coldest corners of the world, there is the potential for hope and change. By uniting together and raising their voices, individuals can create a flicker of light that has the potential to spread and grow into something much greater. The song is ultimately an anthem of hope, urging people to come together and create something beautiful in the face of darkness.
