Here I Am
Mari Chrome Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your touch is cold as ice
your smile fades away,
your silence feels so dark tnight.

I try to find a way.
I try to reach your deepest space,
with every step I do you turn aside. (far away from here)
So many doors you've closed behind.
I lost the key so long ago.
and every day I feel it more you're gone gone gone.

Here is myself.
Here is my self and here I am.
Here is my heart.
Here is my heart and here I am.
Here is my life.
Here is my life and here I am.
Here is my hand.
I come to you with open arms.

Your skin is made of glass,
your smile is clean and seems too sharp.
And every word you speak is lost in space (far away from here),

and still I'm waiting for a sign,
I wonder if you are still alive,
cause with every move you make. You're on your run run run.

Here is myself.
Here is my self and here I am.
Here is my heart.
Here is my heart and here I am.
Here is my life.
Here is my life and here I am.
Here is my hand.
I come to you with open arms.

Your touch is cold as ice.
your love fades away.
Your silence feels so dark tonight, tonight-tonight -

Here is myself.
Here is my self and here I am.
Here is my heart.
Here is my heart and here I am.
Here is my life.
Here is my life and here I am.




Here is my hand.
I come to you with open arms.

Overall Meaning

Mari Chrome's "Here I Am" is a song that speaks about a relationship that is dying. The lyrics are full of metaphorical language, where the coldness of ice, the darkness of the night, and the sharpness of a smile are all used to paint a picture of a partner who has emotionally withdrawn. The chorus is a clear declaration of the singer's own presence - "Here is myself. Here is my heart. Here is my life. Here is my hand. I come to you with open arms." It's a powerful statement of vulnerability and an assertion of her own identity in the face of a disintegrating relationship.


Throughout the song, the singer tries to connect with her partner, who seems to be slipping further away with each passing day. She tries to reach his deepest space and find a way back to the love they once shared, but he turns aside at every step. She feels as though he has closed a myriad of doors, and she has lost the key to accessing their shared past. Despite this, she waits for a sign and wonders if he is still alive. The repeated refrain "Here I Am" becomes a kind of mantra, a reaffirmation of her own existence in the face of someone who seems to be trying to erase her.


Overall, the song is a deeply emotional and personal reflection on the experience of watching a relationship fade away. Through metaphor and repetition, the singer conveys a sense of loss, frustration and helplessness, amplified by the echoey, atmospheric production.
