Maddi Jane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending, like we never had a chance.
Do you have to make me feel like there's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
And go on and try to tear me down
But I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed
All my windows still are broken but I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
And go on and try to tear me down
But I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Go run run run, I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run run run, yeah, it's a long way down
But I'm closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
And go on and try to tear me down
But I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
The lyrics of Maddi Jane's song Skyscraper are incredibly powerful and emotional. The opening lines, "Skies are crying, I am watching, catching teardrops in my hands, only silence, as it's ending, like we never had a chance," suggest that the singer is feeling helpless and overwhelmed. The theme of vulnerability continues throughout the song as the singer describes feeling like she's made of glass or paper, easily breakable and powerless.
Despite her vulnerability, however, the singer is ultimately determined to rise up and overcome any obstacles in her path. She states, "But I will be rising from the ground, like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper," using the metaphor of a skyscraper to represent her resilience and strength.
There is also an element of defiance in the lyrics, particularly in the line, "You can take everything I have, you can break everything I am, but I will be rising from the ground." This suggests that the singer is refusing to let anyone or anything bring her down and is willing to fight for her own survival.
Overall, Maddi Jane's Skyscraper is a powerful anthem of resilience and hope in the face of adversity.
