If I
Of David Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Getting caught up in my work
One day I failed to see the greatness of one song
And I got sad
I confessed to one girl
I was talking with her for a while
And she was the far image of happiness for a long time
It was 2010 she said to me
"If I said that I love you, would you still be sad?"
And I could feel her heartbeat getting faster
Although it was just a text
I said I was confused
Nobody said to me those words and
I didn't know what "I love you" meant




We can see only the things
We understand

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are describing a personal experience where the singer gets so consumed by their work that they fail to appreciate the beauty of a particular song. This oversight results in a feeling of sadness. The singer then opens up to a girl (referred to as "one girl"), confiding in her about their emotions. This girl represents the epitome of happiness for the singer for a significant period.


The lyrics mention a specific year, 2010, indicating a timeframe for this interaction. The girl questions the singer, asking if they would still be sad if she were to express her love for them. This statement resonates with the singer, as they can physically feel their heartbeat quicken, despite this interaction occurring through a mere text message.


The singer admits to feeling confused, possibly because they have never encountered those words of affection before, and do not fully grasp the true meaning behind "I love you." This line likely suggests that the singer lacks experience in love and is uncertain about its significance.


The lyrics conclude by asserting that we can only truly perceive and understand the things that we have knowledge of. This last line reflects a broader perspective, suggesting that true understanding and perception require familiarity and comprehension of the subject matter.

ARMAGEDDON * on the CLOUD * The 3X Spirit of ELIJAH in DAVID'S Hand (Isa.22:22 Ps.89:35)
"In the END it SHALL Speak, and it SHALL NOT LIE" (Rev.10:4 per Habakkuk 2:3)
The SWORD The SWORD * * * of Armageddon * Ezekiel 21:9 10 11/17 Until 25 26 27 means
DAVID is The CHRIST *
ALL THE HOST of Heaven Have 'SINNED' * our 'maker' leviathan * Rev.13:8=17:11 NOT 11:17 *

Hi
Thanks so much for this my brother ! This hit deep as I have observed that it appears at times that

My husband carries the weight of the world upon his shoulders. But he just gets up every morning and carries on.

This lesson about David was extremely edifying and faith strengthening
Love to you your family and the entire body of Christ Jesus.

Psalm 121:1-8
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Proverbs 3:6
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Psalm 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
Psalm 33:18
Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,
Matthew 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

πŸ–€This is the first time i've actually listened to the video through the thruition. You're telling men to encourage themselves in the Lord like David did. Most of them are not "In the Lord"

You talked about David in the first half of the video. Modern-day men in the West are not like David was.

Psalm 101:3 " I will set no wicked thing before my eyes. I hate the work of them that turn aside it shall not cleave unto me"

Satan has destroyed men. Therefore, judgment begins in the HOUSE OF GOD.πŸ–€

Almighty is going to judge the christian first on this earth, and then He is going to pour his Spirit on those He Predestined. And then the end shall come. Salvation of the Muslim Jew the atheist, etc.πŸ–€

The church will get it's rapture, but not like they thought. πŸ–€

David is a man after God's own heart. With all that happened in his life, we should use his life as a model of how to worship God in all situations!

@francesbernard2445

Our Lord taught us all what is called, "The Lord's Prayer". Since he had a fully human mother by the name of Mary it wouldn't hurt to say the rosary once in a while too.

@gtolose

As the Hittite learnt, more like a dangerous predator than a model for our life. Violence is OK to protect your life or protect children but murder another man so you could take his wife that's not something to be encouraged.
Just think of the chaos if every-time a bloke fancied someone he arranged the murder of her current partner, flipping eck, Western Culture would come crashing down around us if we held up that bad behaviour. I guess u could limit every man to just one lust crazed murder but even then millions dead, Nah I think we should select our heroes more carefully, and No Samson would be even worse.
