Berlin
Sam Setton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I told you
I was leaving for Berlin
But I warned you
I don't know how far I can bend
For this love
I mapped it out in shades of gray
That you belong in everyday
Adorned you
The memories will never fade
From this love, no no no
Patience now
For fire in the future
Take my hand
And run, run with me
You're filled with doubt
When you think about the future
Take my hand
And run away with me
I don't mind latching onto you
I have a one track mind
But I act a fool
It takes time to prove
It won't be so hard, we've got this far
You wanna go back home?
I would
Feeling uncomfortable?
I should
Falling all out of love?
I could
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
You say that it fades away (Oh, no)
And you want me to change (No, no)
Baby what more can I say?
Because I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
Patience now
For fire in the future
Take my hand
And run, run with me
In the song "Berlin" by Sam Setton, the lyrics depict a bittersweet goodbye to a loved one. The opening line, "I took the color from your skin," describes how the singer has drained the life from their partner as they tell them they are leaving for Berlin. The second line, "But I warned you," implies that the decision was not an easy one to make. The line "I don't know how far I can bend for this love" highlights the singer's internal conflict in their decision to leave.
The next verse, "I mapped it out in shades of gray" suggests that the singer feels trapped in their current situation, seeing only dullness and no hope for the future. The line "That you belong in everyday, adorned you" suggests that the loved one was the only bright spot in their life. The following lines, "The memories will never fade from this love, no no no" signify the depth of the relationship, which the singer hopes will never be forgotten.
The chorus uplifts the song's mood, with "Patience now, for fire in the future, take my hand and run with me." The chorus highlights that the singer is entirely aware of the gravity of their decision but still asks their partner to have patience and trust in their love. The song concludes with lines "Because I'm losing my mind," which suggests that the singer is torn between their love and the decision to leave.
