Bigger Picture
Kirsty Hawkshaw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's raining outside
But it won't wash away my decision
At first you were real
But now you were just an illusion
My world may feel empty right now
I'll fill it in, find a way out
I've got to wipe off this face
Put the puzzle back together
See the bigger picture
And I'll never let it happen again
And I'll see it someday I don't know how or when
And next time I'll get it so good
After the lessons you taught me it should
Next time I'll get it so right
After the tunnel they said there's a light
And the bigger picture
I showed you my soul
But I placed you too high in my eyes
I gave all the trust I had
Ever could, ever will
We all mistake deceit for grace
Get it all thrown back in our face
So I'll take this pain
And give it to the sky
Because I'll never let it happen again
And I'll see it someday I don't know how or when
And next time I'll get it so good
After the lessons you taught me it should
Next time I'll get it so right
After the tunnel they said there's a light
And the bigger picture
Maybe I'll see it then
The bigger picture
You couldn't take it
To the sky
You couldn't see it
To the sky




You'll never be in
My bigger picture

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kirsty Hawkshaw's song Bigger Picture appear to reflect on a relationship that has ended painfully. The opening line, "It's raining outside, but it won't wash away my decision," suggests that the singer has made a decision to end the relationship and is resolute in this decision, despite external circumstances. The next line suggests that while the singer initially saw the other person as "real," they now realize that it was just an illusion. This realization has left the singer feeling empty and in pain (indeed, much of the song is focused on the singer's pain and determination to never let it happen again), but they are also determined to "put the puzzle back together" and "see the bigger picture."


This bigger picture seems to be one of growth and learning from the experience. The singer vows to "never let it happen again," and believes that they will eventually "see it someday." They also believe that the lessons they learned from the painful experience will help them find a new, better relationship ("Next time I'll get it so good"). The final lines of the song suggest that the other person could not "take it to the sky" or be a part of the singer's bigger picture. Overall, the lyrics seem to reflect a period of growth and healing after a painful relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

It's raining outside
The weather is gloomy and unpleasant outside


But it won't wash away my decision
My resolve will not be weakened by external factors


At first you were real
I initially believed that you were genuine and sincere


But now you were just an illusion
However, I have come to realize that you were not what you appeared to be


My world may feel empty right now
I may be feeling lost and alone at the moment


I'll fill it in, find a way out
But I am determined to overcome this and find my way back to happiness


I've got to wipe off this face
I need to rid myself of the pain and hurt that you have caused me


Put the puzzle back together
And piece my life back together again


See the bigger picture
I need to gain perspective and understand the broader implications of your actions


And I'll never let it happen again
I will not allow myself to be blindsided by someone's false promises and deceitful ways in the future


And I'll see it someday I don't know how or when
But I trust that at some point in the future, I will gain clarity and insight into this situation


And next time I'll get it so good
Next time, I will make better choices and protect myself from any potential harm


After the lessons you taught me it should
Thanks to the hard lessons you have taught me, I have the tools to avoid a similar situation from occurring again


Next time I'll get it so right

After the tunnel they said there's a light
Even in the darkest of times, there is always hope on the other side


And the bigger picture
I need to focus on the larger issues at hand


I showed you my soul
I trusted you with my deepest thoughts and emotions


But I placed you too high in my eyes
But I overestimated your character and integrity


I gave all the trust I had
I invested all of my faith and confidence in you


Ever could, ever will
But now I understand that I must be more cautious in the future


We all mistake deceit for grace
It is a common mistake to think that people are better than they really are


Get it all thrown back in our face
And this can lead to disappointment and betrayal


So I'll take this pain
But I am learning to cope with the hurt and pain that you have caused me


And give it to the sky
And I am learning to let go of the negative emotions and focus on the positive


Maybe I'll see it then
And maybe someday I will be able to see past the hurt and betrayal


You couldn't take it
But you were unable to handle my trust and faith in you


To the sky
And you failed to rise to the occasion


You couldn't see it
You were unable to appreciate and understand the depth of my trust and feelings


You'll never be in
And you will never be a part of my larger and more meaningful goals and aspirations


My bigger picture
That extend far beyond this one disappointing and hurtful experience
