04.Here I Am
Marion Raven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter what, I will be there
I'll be gentle, I'll be light
These are the words you whispered in the night.
Here I am, here I am
Now I'm standing in the cold
(Everything is said and done)
(From the absence of the sun)
The only remedy I know
Is I gotta let you go
So here I am
(Everything is said and done)
Yeah
(From the absence of the sun)
The only remedy I know
Is I gotta let you go
So here I am, here I am.
Marion Raven's song "04. Here I Am" seems to be a reflection on a past relationship. The lyrics show an interesting contrast between the beginning and the end of the relationship. At the beginning, the singer promises to protect their partner and be there for them. It paints a picture of a loving, caring relationship. But as the song progresses, the tempo slows and the atmosphere changes. The singer talks about standing in the cold as an "atomic winter" fills their soul. This is a stark contrast from the protection and warmth promised at the beginning of the song.
It seems that the relationship has ended, and the singer has come to the realization that they need to let go. The repetition of the phrase "here I am" throughout the song shows a sense of finality and acceptance. The only remedy the singer knows is to let go, even though it may be painful.
Overall, the lyrics seem to convey a sense of loss and sadness. The song captures the bittersweet feeling of letting go of someone you care about deeply.
