Iris
Sawyer Fredericks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'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
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made 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 made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
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 made 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 made 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
The Sawyer Fredericks song โIrisโ speaks of the intense longing and unconditional love for another person. The lyrics reveal a desire so deep that the singer would be willing to give up everything just to be in that person's presence, even if only for a fleeting moment. The song communicates the beauty and fleeting nature of life, emphasizing the importance of cherishing every moment we have with our loved ones.
The artist describes the person he is singing about as the closest to heaven he will ever be. He, however, doesn't want to go home because he wants to keep that feeling and moment alive. The singer is fully immersed in the moment, feeling as if he can taste it and breathe the other person's life, but knowing that sooner or later, it will all end. In that moment, he doesnโt want to miss any second of their time together.
The lyrics also reveal a reluctance to show the world who he is, with the implication that his love for this special person is deeply personal and perhaps not understood by others. The line โWhen everything's made to be brokenโ suggests that the world is full of uncertainty and disappointments, and the singer just wants his loved one to understand his true self.
Overall, the song โIrisโ conveys an intense feeling of romantic love, but also a sense of vulnerability and urgency that comes with knowing that time is precious and fleeting.
