Here I Am
Raven Marion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter what, I will be there
I'll be gentle, I'll be light
These are the words you whispered in the night.
Here I am, here I am
Now I'm standing in the cold
(Everything is said and done)
(From the absence of the sun)
The only remedy I know
Is I gotta let you go
So here I am
(Everything is said and done)
Yeah
(From the absence of the sun)
The only remedy I know
Is I gotta let you go
So here I am, here I am.
The first verse of Raven Marion's song 'Here I Am' talks about a person promising to protect someone and be there for them whenever they are scared. They assure the person that they will be gentle and light with them, which could be interpreted as a romantic partner, a parent or a friend. This person's words are described as "whispered in the night," which could suggest a sense of intimacy and vulnerability.
However, the chorus seems to signify a change in the relationship dynamic. The singer declares that they are 'standing in the cold' and experiencing an 'atomic winter in [their] soul.' These metaphors describe a feeling of emptiness and isolation that the singer is experiencing. They then state that the only solution they have is to let the other person go, which is a stark contrast to the promises they made in the first verse. The repetition of the phrase 'here I am' suggests a sense of resignation or acceptance of their current situation.
Overall, the song seems to be about a person who is struggling with a complicated relationship. While they want to be there for the other person and protect them, they feel like they are not receiving the same level of care in return. Eventually, they come to the difficult decision that the relationship cannot continue, and they need to move on.

"Here I Am"
I'll protect you, don't be scared
No matter what, I will be there
I'll be gentle, I'll be light
These are the words you whispered in the night
Here I am
Here I am
[Chorus :]
Now I'm standing in the cold
(Everything is said and done)
Atomic winter in my soul
(From the absence of the sun)
The only remedy I know
Is I gotta let you go
Here I am
Here I am
But where were you when I was scared
A broken promise left me here
A post-it note is what I've got
It says: "I'm sorry, but I know you're not"
So
Here I am yeah
Here I am
[Chorus]
Here I am
Here I am
There will come a day when all of this is in my past
And there will come a day when you're out of my head at last
I'm trying not to fall
Damn it's such a long way down
But here I am
Yeah Yeah Yeah
[Chorus]
And Now I'm standing in the cold
(Everything is said and done)
Yeah Yeah Yeah
(From the absence of the sun)
The only remedy I know
Is I gotta let you go
Here I am

I was browsing through a bunch of female pop singers today and most of them were absolutely terrible; I was just about to completely give up in resignation that I wouldn't find anything worthwhile, then I lucked into Marion Raven and my faith was restored. She's absolutely incredible! Why this girl isn't far bigger in the music scene is beyond me; she's far better than 99% of the pop music that I've heard out there

She has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen And she also has a extremely powerful voice
