My Lady I
Revolver Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The lights of my bedroom are still lightening though it's four o'clock in the morning
But I won't sleep I need to tidy up my mind
I hear the sound of a baby's crying that echoes in the empty stairwell
Reminding me the weeping of my heart

I should have written you a song a long time ago, I don't know why it took so long
Now I have to do it before I finally go insane
Cause I feel the present is a waste of time since I can't see your face
You used to be so close, now you're so far

My lady I., will you find the same twinkle in his eyes,
The same shelter you could find in my arms, oh my sweetest I.?

In my dreams I wander through the streets we used to go to on sunday mornings
I see you walking arm in arm with some guy I don't know
I try to call you, you don't hear me, I try to stop you, you can't feel me
Just pass through me, when I wake up I cry

I remember you telling me don't get into such a state but I can't help
I close my eyes, still my mind is wide open
I see you happy I shouldn't care, you're nothing to me, neither is your friend
Yet I wonder why my feelings get so bad





My lady I., do you find the same twinkle in his eyes
The same shelter you could find in my arms oh my sweetest I.?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Revolver's song "My Lady I" depict a scene at four o'clock in the morning, where the singer finds himself unable to sleep and instead tries to clear his mind. In the darkness, he hears the sound of a baby crying, and this sound serves to remind him of the deep sadness and longing he feels within his own heart. The lyrics imply that he is missing someone deeply, someone who used to be close to him but now feels distant.


The singer regrets not having written a song for this person earlier, expressing his confusion as to why he took so long to do so. He now feels compelled to write a song before he completely loses his sanity. The present moment, without the presence of the person he longs for, feels like a waste of time. Unable to see their face, the distance between them feels insurmountable.


In his dreams, he replays memories of their shared experiences, specifically focusing on the streets they used to explore on Sunday mornings. However, in these dreams, he sees the person he longs for walking side by side with a stranger. His attempts to reach out and stop them are futile, as they cannot hear or feel his presence. This leads to a feeling of deep sadness upon waking.


Despite acknowledging that the person he longs for is now happy with someone else, the singer still finds himself unable to let go completely. He tries to rationalize his emotions, claiming that they mean nothing to him and neither does their new companion. Yet, he questions why these emotions continue to affect him so deeply.


Overall, "My Lady I" expresses the melancholic longing and heartache of unrequited love, capturing the sense of desperation and confusion that arises when someone feels a connection slipping away.

My dad really wanted to see this movie. He was I’ll with cancer and every time I visited him we would watch the movie trailer. Sadly, he died before the movie came out and I had to see it without him. I took a picture of him with me when I saw the movie and I know he was with me in spirit. This song and the movie are emotional for me because I’m reminded that I lost my best friend. Great movie and great song! Thank you Tom and Lady Gaga for this!
