your loving arms
M.I.K.E. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've seen too many sunsets
In the morning
It's been much too cold for you

I've been living in boxes
All alone
You've been, you've been
Even though, I never stay
I'm caught in your event horizon
Even though, I'm never here
All rivers lead to the sea

In your arms, I will be
In your arms, I will be

Film grain, glazing over lonely eyes
Old songs, sung aloud in vain
The road, it often calls me in the night
And always, I never want
Never want to go

Even though, I never stay
I'm caught in your event horizon
Even though, I'm never here
All rivers lead to the sea





In your arms, I will be
In your arms, I will be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Your Loving Arms" by M.I.K.E. are open to interpretation, but they seem to express a feeling of longing for someone's love and embrace, despite the challenges of distance and the pull of other obligations. The opening lines suggest a weariness with routine, and a sense of isolation and chilliness - perhaps emotional as well as physical. The box metaphor could represent feeling trapped or contained, unable to move or express oneself fully. The next lines may describe the singer's lover, who has been waiting faithfully and patiently, and whose love is a kind of gravitational force that pulls the singer back, even when he tries to resist. The metaphor of the event horizon - the point of no return beyond a black hole - suggests that the singer feels trapped by his own desires as well as by the strength of his lover's love.


The second half of the song shifts to more concrete images, like the film grain and old songs that evoke nostalgia and regret. The road could represent the pull of freedom and adventure, but also the loneliness and disconnection that can come from being always on the move. Despite this, the singer is drawn back to his lover, who offers a sense of belonging and warmth. The final repetition of "In your arms, I will be" suggests a surrender to the power of love and the desire for human connection.


Line by Line Meaning

I've seen too many sunsets
I have experienced too much pain and disappointment


In the morning
Even at the beginning of my day


It's been much too cold for you
You have suffered because of me


I've been living in boxes
I have isolated myself from others


All alone
Without anyone to share my life with


You've been, you've been
You have been my constant in a changing world


Even though, I never stay
Although I am constantly on the move


I'm caught in your event horizon
I am inexorably pulled towards you


Even though, I'm never here
Even though I am not physically present


All rivers lead to the sea
All paths ultimately lead to the same destination


In your arms, I will be
I long to find comfort and safety in your embrace


Film grain, glazing over lonely eyes
The passage of time and loneliness have blurred my vision


Old songs, sung aloud in vain
I find no solace in my past memories


The road, it often calls me in the night
I am compelled to wander aimlessly


And always, I never want
But I never truly desire to leave


Never want to go
Never want to leave your presence
