I'll Try
Skin (Deborah Anne Dyer) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Than this bitter release
You standing firm but won't talk to me
Makes it harder to hold on
But I'll try
I'll try
I'll try
I don't know what you want from this
Don't know nothing at all
Just this vision that I can't leave
Makes it harder to go on
Tell me how you feel and I'll try
We'll fight this regret
And smother the doubt
We'll conquer this
We'll conquer regret
And smother the doubt
In "I'll Try," Skin (Deborah Anne Dyer) expresses her frustration at being unable to communicate with someone important to her. She is looking for a way to bridge the gap between them, but the other person is keeping their distance. Skin is struggling to let go of a vision she has of what their relationship could be and this vision is making it difficult for her to move on.
Throughout the song, Skin repeats the line "Tell me how you feel and I'll try." This is the crux of the song's message. She is trying to get the other person to open up to her and share their feelings. By doing so, she hopes to find a way forward, to conquer their regret and doubt, and build a stronger relationship.
Ultimately, "I'll Try" is a song about the importance of communication, particularly in relationships. Without it, misunderstandings and resentments can fester, making it harder to connect with the people around us.
