Porcelain Raft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside this room lots of people looking at you
But just me could see you through
I know, I know
They’re waiting for you, show them what you got
You’ve been working good for so long
Yes I do
I know, I know
You don’t need help, you can make it yourself
But just for today would you let it go
It will make you feel better for sure
The world won’t collapse, that’s all I know
A beautiful picture you always wanted to draw
I know, I know
Today it’s very hard not to go insane
Yet your heart, you keep holding on
A beautiful picture you always wanted to draw
You don’t need any help, yes I know
Sure it will take so long
But I know you will get it done
Yes I know you will get it done
The lyrics of Porcelain Raft's song "Picture" express a sense of understanding and empathy towards someone who is showing their work to a room full of people. The first stanza sets the scene of the room full of people, but the singer of the song recognizes that they are the only one who truly sees the person showing their work. The second and third stanzas speak to the person's determination and hard work, but the singer also acknowledges that it's okay to let go and not try to do everything alone. The final stanza is a reassurance that the person will succeed in creating the beautiful picture they have always wanted to draw.
The song's lyrics seem to be speaking to a few different themes, including perseverance, the importance of self-care, and the value of support and understanding. The lines "You’ve been working good for so long / You don’t need help, you can make it yourself / But just for today would you let it go" demonstrate the singer's recognition of the hard work the person has put in, but also the acknowledgement that it can be helpful to take a break and receive support. Additionally, the line "Yet your heart, you keep holding on" suggests that despite the difficulties the person is facing, they are still determined to keep going.
