Reborn
Morris Rae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We shed
Love then grew
Grew apart but I never knew
The harm that you were doing
To me all along
Our love's not red, it's nothing

Give up and start from now
Nothing can hurt or haunt me now
I am reborn
(Find another name for me, find another name for me)
I am reborn
(Find another name for me, finally transformed, yeah)

These are new beginnings
Won't let the past determine
Where I go from here
My ghosts have turned to nothing

Give up and start from now
Nothing can hurt or haunt me now
I am reborn
(Find another name for me, find another name for me)
I am reborn
(Find another name for me, finally transformed, yeah)

Have they found a cure for me?
Have they found a cure for me yet?
Have they found a cure for me?
Have they found a cure for me yet?
Have they found a cure for me?
Have they found a cure for me yet?
My heart returns to nothing

Give up and start from now
Nothing can hurt or haunt me now
I am reborn
(Find another name for me, find another name for me)




I am reborn
(Find another name for me, finally transformed, yeah)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Morris Rae's song "Reborn" portray a journey of self-discovery and moving on from a toxic relationship. The opening lines, "We shed, love then grew, grew apart but I never knew," suggest a sense of innocence and unawareness in the singer's experience with their past partner. They explain how they were unaware of the harm being inflicted on them throughout the relationship, symbolized by the line, "The harm that you were doing to me all along."


The chorus serves as a declaration of the singer's newfound strength and resilience. They state, "Give up and start from now, nothing can hurt or haunt me now, I am reborn." This emphasizes their determination to leave the past behind and begin anew. The repeated line, "Find another name for me," may indicate a desire for self-rediscovery and a fresh identity separate from the remnants of the past.


The second verse continues to express the singer's commitment to embracing new beginnings and refusing to let their past dictate their future. They highlight the transformation they have undergone, stating, "My ghosts have turned to nothing." This suggests that they have let go of the negative experiences and memories associated with the past relationship.


The repetition of the question, "Have they found a cure for me?" can be interpreted as a metaphorical inquiry about finding solace and healing from the emotional wounds caused by the toxic relationship. The final line, "My heart returns to nothing," signifies a sense of liberation and detachment from the pain inflicted by the past partner.


Overall, "Reborn" is a powerful anthem of personal growth, resilience, and the ability to leave behind harmful relationships in order to embrace a brighter future.

Came here because I got goosebumps from watching the world cup goal highlights after the final match. The song made the whole highlights more epic!

@platinumstorm2521

I heard this song ages ago playing in McDonald's and I didn't know what the song was called. Shazamed it, listened to it for a little while, forgot about it. Six years later I've been looking for this song again. Thankfully, remembered some vague lyrics and typed them in, this was the result and I'm so happy 😊

@ben86jones82

The cornerstone of finding what you want on youtube, is the vague recollection of lyrics. Peace and love.

@Shmadley67

Nothing in my life currently, makes me happier than the catharsis this tune and vid bring me. Majestic!

@Kammey

The strength I found in this song when I first heard it years ago has stayed with me. Thank you, Rae🤍
