Symphony
Marié Digby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I should be content but something's just not satisfied, oh
It's nothing that you did, I'm still on your side
I can't love you if I'm not sure who I am inside
Cause there are some questions that need some answers
What is it I'm really after?
The clock's ticking so I can't wait around
This is my now, this is my today
No more sitting on the side waiting for my chance to play
Time to step out, so much to say
But I'll never get the chance if I don't break away
And write my own symphony, write my own symphony
I gotta write my own symphony, write my own symphony
Just let me write my own symphony
I've always got my head way up in the clouds
Something in me wants to fly away and leave the ground, oh
If you could hear my thoughts when no one's around
Then you'd understand my fear of being held down
Cause I wanna explore the world around me
Dance under the stars above me
And be free to make my own mistakes
This is my now, this is my today
No more sitting on the side waiting for my chance to play
Time to step out, so much to say
But I'll never get the chance if I don't break away
And write my own symphony, write my own symphony
I gotta write my own symphony, write my own symphony
Just let me write my own symphony
Cause every minute you're here with me
(You're here with me)
It gets harder to turn and walk away, oh
But I gotta chase my destiny
(My destiny)
No matter how hard or long it takes
This is my now, this is my today
No more sitting on the side waiting for my chance to play
Time to step out, so much to say
But I'll never get the chance if I don't break away
And write my own symphony, gotta write my own symphony
Write my own symphony, but I can't if you're here with me
I gotta write my own symphony, let me go and write my own symphony
Write my own symphony, need to go where you can't follow me
Just let me write my own symphony
The lyrics to Marié Digby's "Symphony" convey a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction with one's current status in life. The opening lines reveal a conflict between contentment and the desire for something more, “Here I go again in my dreamy eyes / I should be content but something's just not satisfied, oh.” The singer acknowledges that her disquiet has nothing to do with her partner, “It's nothing that you did, I'm still on your side,” but rather with herself, “I can't love you if I'm not sure who I am inside.”
The singer recognizes that there are questions she needs to answer before she can fully embrace her present, “Cause there are some questions that need some answers / What is it I'm really after?” She feels a sense of urgency as time passes, “The clock's ticking so I can't wait around.”
The chorus emphasizes the importance of taking control of one's own life and creating one's path, “This is my now, this is my today / No more sitting on the side waiting for my chance to play / Time to step out, so much to say / But I'll never get the chance if I don't break away / And write my own symphony, write my own symphony / I gotta write my own symphony, write my own symphony / Just let me write my own symphony.”
The song highlights the importance of self-discovery, taking risks, and not being afraid to make mistakes in the pursuit of one's dreams.

Here I go again in my dreamy eyes
I am lost in thought again, wondering about something
I should be content but something's just not satisfied, oh
Even though everything seems okay, there is a feeling of emptiness and lack of fulfillment
It's nothing that you did, I'm still on your side
You have not done anything wrong, I still support you
I can't love you if I'm not sure who I am inside
I need to figure out who I am before I can love someone else
Cause there are some questions that need some answers
There are some doubts in my mind that need clarification
What is it I'm really after?
I am uncertain about what I really want in life
The clock's ticking so I can't wait around
Time is running out and I cannot afford to waste it
This is my now, this is my today
I am taking control of my life, starting from this moment
No more sitting on the side waiting for my chance to play
I am done waiting for opportunities to come to me, I am going to create my own chances
Time to step out, so much to say
It's time for me to break out of my shell and express myself
But I'll never get the chance if I don't break away
If I do not break free from my fears and inhibitions, I will never get the opportunity to fulfill my dreams
And write my own symphony, write my own symphony
I am going to create my own unique path in life
I gotta write my own symphony, write my own symphony
I am determined to compose my own destiny and not let fate control me
Just let me write my own symphony
I am asking for the freedom to pursue my goals without any interference
I've always got my head way up in the clouds
I am often lost in daydreaming and thinking about the possibilities in life
Something in me wants to fly away and leave the ground, oh
There is a part of me that desires to break free from limitations and soar high
If you could hear my thoughts when no one's around
If you could read my mind, you would know my true desires and aspirations
Then you'd understand my fear of being held down
You would comprehend my fear of being restrained and not being able to achieve my dreams
Cause I wanna explore the world around me
I want to experience all that life has to offer and broaden my horizons
Dance under the stars above me
I want to let loose and enjoy life's moments of bliss and joy
And be free to make my own mistakes
I want to have the freedom to make my own decisions and learn from my own mistakes
Cause every minute you're here with me
Every moment spent with you makes it harder for me to leave
(You're here with me)
It gets harder to turn and walk away, oh
Breaking away becomes more difficult with every passing moment
But I gotta chase my destiny
I am determined to follow my path and fulfill my purpose in life
(My destiny)
No matter how hard or long it takes
Regardless of the obstacles and setbacks, I am committed to my journey
I gotta write my own symphony, gotta write my own symphony
I am going to build my own legacy and shape my own future
Write my own symphony, but I can't if you're here with me
Although I care for you, being with you will hinder me from achieving my goals
I gotta write my own symphony, let me go and write my own symphony
I am pleading to be given the chance to pursue my aspirations
Write my own symphony, need to go where you can't follow me
I need to venture out on my own and go where you cannot accompany me
Just let me write my own symphony
I need the liberty to shape my own future and fulfill my own destiny
