Pause
Kjwan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought I could rule the world without you by my side
As the world bears down on my shoulders
I find the fear doesn't subside
Where have you been?
I've been so alone
I don't know how I've lasted this long
You said "The fires won't consume you,
And in the rivers you won't drown"
I wish to pause this moment
'Cause as I cry I start to realize
What's missing was you
I need you
You give me strength
You take away my fear
There was a void in my heart that only you could fill
The lyrics to Kjwan's song "Pause" speak of a relationship that was previously dismissed or overlooked but is now greatly appreciated. The singer thought they didn't need their partner and that they could handle the world without them, but as the pressures of life became too much, they realized they were wrong. The singer expresses their loneliness and how they have managed to hold on for so long without their partner. The partner then speaks and reassures the singer that they will not be consumed by the fires or drown in the rivers of life. As the singer cries, they come to the realization that their partner was the missing piece in their life, the one that they needed all along. The partner gives them strength and takes away their fear, filling a void in their heart that only they could fill.

I thought I didn't need you
I believed I could manage without you
Thought I could rule the world without you by my side
I believed I could have control over everything without you being there for me
As the world bears down on my shoulders
I'm overwhelmed by the weight of the world's problems
I find the fear doesn't subside
But I remain frightened despite my effort to overcome it
Where have you been?
Where have you been all this time?
I've been so alone
I have been without your support for a while now
I don't know how I've lasted this long
I'm surprised that I've made it this far without you
You said "The fires won't consume you,
You told me that I won't be destroyed by the hardships of life,
And in the rivers you won't drown"
And I won't be overwhelmed by life's tribulations and anxiety
I wish to pause this moment
I want to stop time for a while
'Cause as I cry I start to realize
As I cry, I come to the realization that
What's missing was you
What I have been missing is your help and support
I need you
I require your guidance and presence in my life
You give me strength
You provide me with the power to overcome my worries
You take away my fear
You eliminate my dread and uneasiness
There was a void in my heart that only you could fill
There was a void or emptiness in my life that only your love and support can fullfil

If only the Filipino music industry supported bands like these to get the international recognition they deserve. More power to Kjwan.

Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
