Marion Raven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Brought the dark clouds in my life
You've been keeping me inside
I am sleeping, ravens fly
[Chorus]
Wake me up before I change my mind
Take my hand before I'm out of time
It's all over your face
You've become my enemy
In 13 days
13 days
13, 13, 13 days
13, 13, 13 days
Time is taking way too long
You're still here, I'm so alone
13 days since you came by
I'm your prisoner in the night
[Chorus]
Here in your arms
I'm lost at sea
My nightmare is your dream
[Chorus]
13 days
13 days
The song "13 Days" by Marion Raven is a powerful expression of frustration, feeling trapped and powerless. The lyrics capture the feeling of being held captive by someone who has taken over one's life. The "13 days" are symbolic of the experience of being trapped and wanting to break free but not knowing how. The lyrics in the chorus, "Wake me up before I change my mind, take my hand before I'm out of time" express the feeling of desperation and urgency, the need to be saved before it's too late.
The use of the image of the raven is particularly interesting. Ravens are often seen as symbols of death and loss, and in this context, they seem to represent a sense of darkness and negativity. The lines "I am sleeping, ravens fly" further reinforce this sense of hopelessness and powerlessness.
Line by Line Meaning
13 days since you came by
It's been 13 days since you came and brought darkness into my life
Brought the dark clouds in my life
You brought negative energy and sadness into my life
You've been keeping me inside
You've been trapping me and not allowing me to go out
I am sleeping, ravens fly
I am feeling lethargic and sad while the symbol of negative energy, ravens fly around me
Wake me up before I change my mind
Please wake me up before I make a decision that I might regret
Take my hand before I'm out of time
Please take me along before it's too late
I know what you want from me
I understand your intentions clearly
It's all over your face
Your intentions are apparent on your face itself
You've become my enemy
You have become someone that I cannot trust or be comfortable with
In 13 days
All this feels like it has happened in just 13 days
Time is taking way too long
Time seems to be dragging and feeling longer than usual
You're still here, I'm so alone
You are still around and yet I feel lonely and isolated
I'm your prisoner in the night
You make me feel trapped and helpless especially during the nights
Here in your arms
Being held by you
I'm lost at sea
I feel lost and aimless in your embrace
My nightmare is your dream
What I fear the most seems to be what you seek and desire
13 days
All of this has happened in just 13 days

This is one of my favorite songs of her. Dark and catchy. It's a pity it never became a single.

No marion talked about "13 Days" and other songs on Here I Am in an interview in 2005,
13 Days is about a Danish boy I met. He came and visited me in Norway, at my parent's house; before I got to know him well. He was there for thirteen days. It didn't go well. We had nothing to talk about. He was really boring and I felt as if I was trapped in my own house. And on the day he was going home he wrecked my car. My dad had to come and pick us up. Then he almost missed his flight and since then I haven't heard a word from him. No calls, no emails. I've written three songs about those thirteen days. Three songs about the same guy. I get really pissed when I sing them. I hope he buys my record.
The song that is actually about Zac is the M2M song Everything, which was written about her break-up with Hanson and her heartbreak after the tour ended and he didn't call her. Ravn wrote a second song about the relationship, which he called "Jack" instead of "Zac," and it was released by Pixie Lott.

to say this awesome song being the worst on the album, Marion is just too good.
