Iris
Sabrina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am




I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

They can only taste the present moment and breathe in the other person's life, implying that they are fully immersed in the experience of being with them. The singer acknowledges that eventually, everything will come to an end, but declares their unwillingness to miss out on being with this person tonight.


There is a sense of hiddenness in the lyrics, as the singer doesn't want the world to see them. They feel that others wouldn't understand the depth of their connection or the complexities of their emotions. They believe that everything in life is meant to be broken, but all they want is for this person to truly know them for who they are.


The repetition of the line "I just want you to know who I am" emphasizes the singer's longing for understanding and acceptance. Despite the fear of being misunderstood, they still yearn for the person they care about to see their true self. The lyrics capture the intense yearning and vulnerability that often accompanies deep emotional connections.
