In Your Arms
Nico &Vinz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel like Superman
They gonna remember me
I think I know I can
Who says it's hard to reach
Who's gonna stop me on the road to success
I don't know

They tried to break me down

But I'm still on my feet
This city's full of life
So why is it hard to breathe
Oh why did God create this world so unfair
I don't know

Sometimes I feel like I can't run, I can't crawl
And sometimes I feel like I ain't nothing at all
Life is a journey where you stumble and fall
But I'm okay

When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
When I lie down in your arms

I feel like moving back
Sometimes it's hard to dream
The life I chose is past
It's moving without me
Who doesn't want a machine so they can go back in time
I don't know

My time went by too fast
There's no one left but me
I've got a nine to five
And it gets the best of me
This is the life I'm gonna live to the end
But I'm okay

When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
When I lie down in your arms

Sometimes I feel like I can't run, I can't crawl
And sometimes I feel like I ain't nothing at all
Life is a journey where you stumble and fall
But I'm okay

When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh
When I lie down in your arms

Overall Meaning

The 2013 hit song "In Your Arms" by Nico & Vinz celebrates the power of love and the healing effects of being wrapped up in a partner's embrace. The song speaks to the difficulties of life while also highlighting the beauty of human connection. The opening lines, "I feel like Superman, they gonna remember me, I think I know I can, who says it's hard to reach" suggest the singer's belief in his own power to achieve greatness. He faces challenges and obstacles, but refuses to be held down, singing "they tried to break me down, but I'm still on my feet."

Throughout the song, the singer grapples with the unfairness of life and the feeling of being left behind, admitting "sometimes I feel like I can't run, I can't crawl, and sometimes I feel like I ain't nothing at all." These struggles make the warmth and security of love all the more powerful, as the singer asserts "when I lie down in your arms... I'm okay." The song is a reminder that even in the midst of our struggles, we have the capacity to find hope and joy in the love and companionship of another.

Overall, "In Your Arms" is a touching tribute to the transformative power of love. It speaks to our shared human experiences of struggle and perseverance, while emphasizing the important role that loving relationships play in our lives.

Line by Line Meaning

I feel like Superman
I feel confident and powerful, like a superhero

They gonna remember me
I want to leave a lasting impact on people

I think I know I can
I believe in my ability to achieve my goals

Who says it's hard to reach
Whoever claims success is difficult to attain

Who's gonna stop me on the road to success
No one can prevent me from achieving my goals

I don't know
I'm unsure of the answer

They tried to break me down
Others attempted to discourage me

But I'm still on my feet
Despite setbacks, I'm still standing

This city's full of life
The city is vibrant and active

So why is it hard to breathe
I feel overwhelmed despite the city's energy

Oh why did God create this world so unfair
I question the fairness of the world we live in

Sometimes I feel like I can't run, I can't crawl
Occasionally I feel powerless and stuck

And sometimes I feel like I ain't nothing at all
I feel worthless or insignificant at times

Life is a journey where you stumble and fall
Life is full of obstacles and failures

But I'm okay
Despite the challenges, I'm doing fine

When I lie down in your arms
When I feel comforted and supported by you

I feel like moving back
I sometimes wish to return to a previous time

Sometimes it's hard to dream
Occasionally I struggle to imagine a better future

The life I chose is past
I can't go back to the choices I've made

It's moving without me
Life seems to be progressing without my involvement

Who doesn't want a machine so they can go back in time
Who wouldn't want to time travel?

My time went by too fast
Time passed quicker than I expected

There's no one left but me
I feel alone

I've got a nine to five
I have a regular job

And it gets the best of me
Work is tiring and draining

This is the life I'm gonna live to the end
I will continue living this life until I die

Oh oh oh oh oh

Love the guys actor in this portrayal of someone searching to find his connection back to the one he loves. He believes in his cause so much. It breaks my heart while also helps me acknowledge the brilliance of those who struggle in this way.

Looking at him is like looking at the ones I know personally who struggle with homelessness and a visual form of mental illness (not to say there aren't those that have undiagnosed or non-visual mental illness[es]). This is just my account of my journey.

P. S. Me feeling that I had to write that last comment of not wanting to offend also helped me realize that we live in a society where people can't tell their story without offending anyone. Thanks for listening (reading).

For everyone who is worrying that he couldn't go back through time. 4:12 time starts to go back, which means the machine somehow worked. 4:24 now he is on the photo with his family.

3y↑1

I finally made my peace with this concept and understand now. ♥️ I'm grateful that through Jesus Christ we can overcome all the unfairness in life. Dale G Renlund once spoke a sermon called "Infuriating Unfairness" that I read/listened to. It was an excellent talk, I'd definitely recommend it in your search for the answer to this question. Best of luck!
