You Learn
Takida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's in your hands
It lies in all our hands
Listen to your mother
Break free from the fence
It's when you cry it all ends
And you learn like a shadow flows in the rain
Showing you the way
Bringing you the fire
I will love you
I will hurt you too
All we need is cover
From the no lovers
From the cold others
And you learn like a shadow flows in the rain
Like a foreign flame in the dark
Showing you the way
And you learn
What we feel now isn't pain
Just a scent of it is enough
Blinding me with grace
And there's no have to do it your way
Like a shadow flows in the rain
And you learn
And you learn
And you learn
And you learn
And you learn, and you learn, and you learn, learn
Like a shadow flows in the rain
Like a foreign flame in the dark
Showing you the way
And you learn
What we feel now isn't pain
Just a scent of it is enough
Blinding me with grace
And you learn like a shadow flows in the rain
Like a foreign flame in the dark
Showing you the way
And you learn
The song You Learn by Takida is a poignant and evocative ballad that speaks to the essential human experience of personal growth through learning. The opening lines of the song set the tone for a reflection on individuality and self-discovery, when the singer notes that "There's no one like the other / It's in your hands / It lies in all our hands." These lines speak to the idea that each of us has our own unique path in life, and that it's up to us to find and follow that path.
The chorus of the song is perhaps the most resonant and memorable, featuring the lines "And you learn like a shadow flows in the rain / Like a foreign flame in the dark / Showing you the way." This chorus is a potent metaphor for the learning process, suggesting that knowledge and self-awareness can emerge slowly and indistinctly like a shadow in the rain, or unexpectedly and vividly like a flame in the darkness. The imagery here is full of contrasts and paradoxes: shadow and rain, foreign and familiar, light and dark.
As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that love and pain are intertwined, and that both are necessary for personal growth. The lines "Bringing you the fire / I will love you / I will hurt you too" speak to the idea that we sometimes hurt the people we care about, but that this pain can ultimately teach us important lessons about ourselves and our relationships. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the assertion that "What we feel now isn't pain / Just a scent of it is enough / Blinding me with grace." Here, the singer seems to suggest that even small moments of growth and insight can be transformative and powerful.
Overall, You Learn is a powerful and emotive song that speaks to the essential human experience of learning, growing, and finding our way in the world. Its evocative lyrics and haunting melody are sure to resonate with listeners and inspire reflection on their own journeys of personal growth and self-discovery.
