Schiller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I say it's gonna be alright...
I know you're tired of tryin'
When you feel your soul is dyin' inside...
But you can count on me...
I live for you
You can lean on me...
Believe it's true!
You know that I try, I try, I try,
I try to make you feel alright...
You'll find, you'll find, you'll find
Me in the middle of the night...
I am your's to... love.
Every word eskapes me
When I think of all the things I lost
Everywhere my head turns
It's a dead-end road, I know
But you can count on me...
I'm here for you
You can lean on me...
Believe it's true!
You know that I try, I try, I try,
I try to make you feel alright...
You'll find, you'll find, you'll find
Me in the middle of the night...
I am your's to love,
I... I...
I am your's to... love.
I... a...m...
Your's to love,
Your's to love!
Mmmhh, yeah...
You know that I try, I try, I try,
I try to make you feel alright...
You'll find, you'll find, you'll find
Me in the middle of the night...
I am your's to love,
Fi...nd...
I am your's to love.
The lyrics to Schiller's song "Try" reflect a message of support and encouragement to a person who seems to have lost hope. The artist acknowledges the struggle this person is going through and tries to convince them that things will get better. The repetition of the phrase "I know you don't believe me when I say it's gonna be alright" suggests that this person may have experienced disappointment or been let down before, making it difficult to trust in the possibility of better times. However, the artist is determined to be there for them, to offer them a shoulder to lean on, and to let them know that they are loved. The lines "Every word escapes me, when I think of all the things I lost, everywhere my head turns, it's a dead-end road, I know" reflect the artist's empathy for the person's frustration and vulnerability.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the message of support and love, with the artist repeatedly stating "You know that I try, I try, I try, I try to make you feel alright. You'll find, you'll find, you'll find me in the middle of the night. I am yours to love." The emphasis on the word "yours" suggests that the artist is offering themselves up to be a source of comfort and affection, acknowledging that this person may feel alone and abandoned.
Overall, the lyrics to "Try" convey a message of hope and love, encouraging the person to persevere and reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles.
