Here I Am
S.I.D Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing,
where the cloud touches light
At dawn that is
where you'll find me
Reaching out,
for something to catch
Closing my eyes,
while running faster than fast

In a ten mile smile
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
You can watch me,
through the light
Through the sun, rain, wind
But soon they will all catch me
And one hundred one times,
I will doubt
Closing my eyes,
while spinning faster than fast
Tryin to stop right now
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
here I am ...
here I am ...
This was not a part of the plan
Clear as my thoughts
that will be found
This was not a part of the plan
And I can see it clear now
Clear as my heart
that I will never find
Far away from me now
This was not a part of the plan
Am I the only left now
Left for the others to be found
But why am I still here while
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
here I am

here I am ...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to S.I.D's "Here I Am" describe a sense of motion and urgency that pervades the entire song. The singer is running and dancing in search of something, closing their eyes and pushing themselves to move faster and faster. They speak repeatedly of a world that is running "upside down," suggesting that they feel disoriented and unmoored. The chorus, "Hiding's never been my plan, so here I am," reinforces this notion of restlessness and determination.

There is an undercurrent of anxiety and uncertainty in these lyrics as well. The singer references doubt and the feeling that they are not following their plan, that something unexpected has thrown them off course. They express a desire to be watched, to be seen and recognized, but also acknowledge that they will soon be caught. There is a sense that they are always on the brink of a discovery or realization, but can't quite grasp it.

Despite the sense of unease in these lyrics, there is also a palpable enthusiasm and sense of energy. The use of the phrase "ten mile smile" suggests that the singer is experiencing a profound sense of joy in their movement and activity, even as they struggle to find their way.
