What Is It
St. Proost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

...and when it rains
Open the sky, just like the window I'm climbing out of
On to your wave
I can't explain, how I'm so fluorescent for you
Lost in an endless August

There's something in your summer gaze
That made my colors saturate
We'll part the clouds and make way
For clearer skies, and clear our minds
You melted all my January
Can't wait 'til May, may we get married?
On the 30th of February
That's every day for you and I
You and I

...and when it rains
Open the sky, just like the window I'm climbing out of
On to your wave
I can't explain, how I'm so fluorescent for you
Lost in an endless August

What month is it anyway?
What month is it anyway?

You feel like an eternity, turning over every leaf
I've known you all my life, can't wait for you to meet
All the people I pretend to be, rip me open like your favorite jeans
I'll show you everything I never let them see
As if I keep it safe, saving you a vacancy
Didn't think you'd stay for all the maybes and the make-believes
Deja vu and A.D.D., I've been here before but can't focus




On where you're taking me, will you turn the page for me
Will you turn the page?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to St. Proost's "What is it" are deeply contemplative and centered around the idea of peace and acceptance. The opening lines "When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll" sets the tone for the song, with the imagery of a serene river and the tumultuous sea representing the different experiences and challenges one can face in life. The following lines, "Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul" emphasize the need for grace and introspection in all situations, even when facing difficulties.


The chorus, "It is well with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul" repeats the idea that one's inner peace is not dependent on external circumstances - it is a state of being that can be achieved through acceptance and surrender. The second verse looks forward to the day of judgment, with the anticipation that even then, peace will reign. "And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll, the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend, even so it is well with my soul."


Overall, "What is it" is a powerful meditation on the human experience, with a focus on emotional and spiritual resilience in the face of life's ups and downs.


Line by Line Meaning

When peace like a river attendeth my way
When I feel calm in a situation and everything goes smoothly for me


When sorrows like sea billows roll
When I experience deep sadness or great difficulties in my life


Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say
Whatever happens in my life, I have learned to say


It is well, it is well with my soul
That my soul is at peace


And Lord haste the day
And please, Lord, let the day come soon


When my faith shall be sight
When I will finally see and understand everything that I have had faith in


The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
When everything that is hidden and unclear will be revealed


The trump shall resound and
When the trumpet will sound and


The Lord shall descend
When the Lord will come down from heaven to earth


Even so it is well with my soul
Even then, I will still have peace in my soul
