my dear
Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it's not right to see
Fellas losing jobs
And people hopeless
Ooh and it's getting so hard for me to see
The good, the bad, the ugly
Keep my focus
The world can be so hard
And reach down to find
The good in your heart
And bring light to dark
All you need to do is see
That only love will help us overcome
Everything
Darling
How do we fix?
People got no food to eat
Brothers laying in the street
We're clueless
I know it's easy to turn our heads away
Take refuge in our lives
And not make change today
And I know sometimes
The world can be so hard
And reach down to find
The good in your heart
And bring light to dark
All you need to do is see
That only love will help us overcome
Everything
Reach out
Don't force a smile
If the way things are have got you mad
Get up and do what you can to lend a helping hand
I know it's easy to turn our heads away
Take refuge in our lives
And not make change today
And I know sometimes
The world can be so hard
And reach down to find
The good in your heart
And bring light to dark
All you need to do is see
That only love will help us overcome
Everything
In Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics's song, "My Dear," the lyrics express concern for the state of society and the struggles that people face. The singer speaks directly to the listener, urging them to open their eyes and observe the hardship around them. People are losing their jobs, feeling hopeless, and there is a great deal of suffering. However, the singer emphasizes the need to maintain a positive outlook and focus on the good amidst the bad and ugly.
The second verse addresses the question of how we can address these problems. There are people going hungry and others who have lost their lives. It is tempting to ignore these issues and focus on our personal lives, but the singer argues that we must take action. It is not enough to smile and pretend everything is okay. Instead, we must actively seek ways to help our brothers and sisters in need. The final line of the verse emphasizes that we must begin making changes now rather than waiting for something else to happen.
In the chorus, the singer reminds us that despite the difficulties of the world, love is the only thing that can help us overcome everything. We must reach out to those around us and offer support and kindness. The final line of the chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing that love is the key to overcoming any obstacle.
Overall, the message of the song is one of hope and optimism in the face of hardship. Although the world may be difficult and overwhelming at times, if we come together and approach our problems with love and kindness, we can overcome anything.

My dear, listen here
Attention, I have something important to say
I know it's not right to see
It's wrong and unfair to witness
Fellas losing jobs
Men are losing their source of income
And people hopeless
Others have lost all faith
Ooh and it's getting so hard for me to see
It's becoming increasingly difficult for me to witness such events
The good, the bad, the ugly
All aspects of life, the positive, the negative, and the unpleasant
Keep my focus
I will maintain my concentration and attention
And I know sometimes
I understand that occasionally
The world can be so hard
Life can be extremely difficult
And reach down to find
But amidst it all, search within yourself
The good in your heart

Darling
My love, my dearest one
How do we fix?
What can we do to solve this problem?
People got no food to eat
Individuals are lacking the basics such as food
Brothers laying in the street
Fellow human beings are dying on the pavement
We're clueless
We are uncertain how to help and solve the issue
I know it's easy to turn our heads away
Ignoring the problem is a straightforward option
Take refuge in our lives
We can consume ourselves in our personal life
And not make change today
And not do anything to make a difference
Reach out
Extend a hand to others
Don't force a smile
You don't have to pretend everything is fine
If the way things are have got you mad
If the state of events has upset you
Get up and do what you can to lend a helping hand
Make an effort to assist in any way you can
That only love will help us overcome
Only love can provide us with the strength to surpass these issues
