Maple Bee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She pulls me deeper than anything
And turning over wish that you were here with me
I might be able to breathe again
Where do we fit in?
Where do we fit in?
Where do we fit in?
I knew her the simple light
She's drifting off now into the night
Her empty fingers faded into ocean deep
Her soul is lost it never sleeps
Where were you? Were you in the pictures that I drew?
Where were you? Were you keeping secrets that only I knew?
Where were you? Were you climbing in my skin at night?
Where were you? Did you whisper softly there's no need to fight?
Where do we fit in?
Where do we fit in?
Oh this night give in
In Maple Bee's song "Fit In," the song's narrator reflects on a seemingly hopeless situation as the night closes in. They express their longing for someone, who they wish were there with them, as they feel that person could help them breathe again. However, the person is not present and the singer is left with a feeling of emptiness, symbolized by the "empty fingers faded into ocean deep." The singer questions where this person was when they were struggling, and wonders if they were keeping secrets or whispering reassuring words during the night. The chorus asks the universal question of human connection: where do we fit in?
The song's theme of loneliness and desperation is reinforced by the haunting melody and melancholy instrumentation. The slow tempo and ethereal vocals of Maple Bee perfectly capture the somber mood of the lyrics. The repeated questioning of "Where do we fit in?" emphasizes the singer's feeling of not belonging, and their search for purpose and connection. The deep emotional resonance of these lyrics makes "Fit In" a powerful and relatable song.

When I started on the elliptical I could only do 5 minutes, too. I just started really getting my life on track at the beginning of this year and now I'm up to 30 minutes on it. I've lost 16.8 pounds so far and this is really inspiring. Thanks, love!

I love Amy's cheese pizza! I totally recommend it. Just go to the Whole Foods deli and pick up thinly sliced genoa salami (dozen slices) to bake on top of pizza in toaster oven for like 20 min. Super yummy and easy, and healthy to boot!
