Bigger Smaller
Lael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We up and down like kids again
We are alive
We're drawing lines here in the sand
So come and cross it if you can
Throw yourself against the wall
Because your bigger, smaller
You're caving in
Come in we'll take weight off of your fear
Don't be afraid my dear
You started living right now
Why don't you take a look around
Your heart is caving in like bigger, smaller
It's ok your heart is bigger smaller
You're breathing in
Breathing like a kid again
Feeling good in and out just like you should
We will always bleed for you
Throw ourselves against the wall because we're bigger
Not caving in
We know you know we know you can't stop it
We won't resist
Because we have each other now
So don't stop it
Why don't we just begin to live
And start living right now
Why don't you take a look around
Your heart is caving in like bigger, smaller
It's ok your heart is bigger smaller
Take a look around
And start living right now
You started living right now
Why don't you take a look around
Your heart is caving in like bigger, smaller
It's ok your heart is bigger smaller
The lyrics of Lael's song Bigger Smaller are a call for people to break free from their fears and start living their lives to the fullest. The opening lines "Not drowning out, We up and down like kids again, We are alive, We're drawing lines here in the sand" suggest that the singer and her friends are choosing to engage with life and not let themselves drown in the struggles that come with it. They're drawing a line in the sand for themselves, a marker defining what they want in their lives, and daring others to cross it if they can.
The lyrics go on to talk about a heart that's caving in, but it's okay because it's bigger smaller - that is, although it feels like it's being crushed under the weight of things, it's capable of expanding to take on even more. The singer and her friends are willing to take on this heartache, to "always bleed for you," as a sign of their commitment to each other and their belief that people can grow and change. They're not letting themselves be defeated by their circumstances, but instead are "throwing themselves against the wall" with the knowledge that they're bigger than whatever challenge they might be facing.
The chorus repeats the message that it's time to start living now, to take a look around and appreciate the beauty of life. They're urging the listener to take charge of their own destiny and not be afraid of what lies ahead. The final lines of "Your heart is caving in like bigger, smaller, It's ok your heart is bigger smaller" are a poetic way of saying that even though life can be overwhelming at times, we all have the capacity to persevere and thrive.
