Trust
Raffertie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If someone told me
This was it
If someone told me
Who to kiss
If someone told me
How it ends
If someone told me
If you do it again
Might be
If you do it again
Might be my heart

Try to let go and live it again
If I let go I'll do it again
When we let go we'll never begin
Inside your soul sing it
It's hard to say
It's hard to look
In your eyes
And fall again
In pieces

If you do it again
Might be




If you do it again
Might be my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Raffertie's song Trust are quite abstract and open to multiple interpretations, so it can be hard to say exactly what they mean. In the beginning of the song, the singer seems to be contemplating the idea of someone else having control over their life. They imagine someone telling them who to kiss, how things will end, and cautioning them about repeating past mistakes. These lines seem to reflect some anxiety around losing agency and control over their own life, and the fear that someone else could make choices that would hurt them.


The chorus of the song offers a more hopeful perspective, with the repeated refrain, "If you do it again, might be my heart." Here, the singer seems to be giving someone else permission to take a risk with their heart - to try something again even if it might end in heartbreak. It's possible that the singer is thinking about a past relationship or experience where they were hurt, and is now open to the idea of trying again despite the risks involved. The lines, "Try to let go and live it again / If I let go I'll do it again / When we let go we'll never begin" seem to reinforce this idea of taking a leap of faith and trying again, despite the possibility of getting hurt.


The final lines of the song - "Inside your soul, sing it / It's hard to say / It's hard to look / In your eyes / And fall again / In pieces" - leave the ending of the story somewhat ambiguous. Is the singer expressing their reluctance to trust again, or their inability to resist falling for someone even when they know it might end badly? The image of falling apart "in pieces" suggests that this is a painful experience, but the song as a whole feels surprisingly optimistic and energized, despite its themes of risk and vulnerability.
