I Was There
Lakes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was there when the ground was shaking
I was there
I was there and my soul was breaking
I won't be shaking now
Yes, I won't be breaking now
Yes, I can't be shaking now
I was there
I was there when the fire was burning
I was there
I was there when he kept us turning
But I won't be burning
Yes, I won't be turning now
Yes, I can't be shaking now
Yes, I cant be breaking now
I was there
I was there when you were sinking
I was there
I was there when you were forsaken
But you won't be sinking
Yes, you won't be forshaken now
Yes, you can't be shaking now
Yes, you can't be breaking now
Yes, you won't be shaking
Won't be breaking
Won't be forsaken now
In "I Was There" by Lakes, the lyrics speak of being present during difficult times and experiencing intense emotions. The first stanza talks about being there during an earthquake, where the ground is shaking and the soul is breaking. The second stanza references a fire that is burning and someone who is keeping them turning. In both situations, Lakes expresses that they won't be shaking or breaking now, implying a sense of strength and resilience that was perhaps not there before.
The third and final stanza is directed towards someone else, with Lakes saying they were there when the person was sinking and forsaken. However, they reassure the person that they won't be sinking or forsaken now and that they can't be shaking or breaking. This could be interpreted as a message of hope and encouragement to whoever the song is directed towards.
Overall, "I Was There" seems to have themes of perseverance, support, and overcoming difficult situations. It speaks to the idea that even when things are tough, there are people and things that can provide strength and help us get through.
