Devotion
Taylor Janzen Lyrics

In Taylor Janzen's song "Devotion", she expresses her inner conflict and the feeling of being torn between two important things in her life: her love for her partner and her need to discover and embrace who she truly is. She talks about devotion being a virtue and how she gave her teenage years to the person she loves, but she also speaks of the fights she had to face as she struggled to overcome her fears. The singer then confesses that she needed some time away from this relationship to figure out her own identity and that in the process of doing so, she had to spend a whole year apart from her partner. Despite knowing that change was necessary, she expected her significant other to change along with her.

The chorus of the song is the most emotional part where Taylor expresses her feeling of not wanting to choose between loving her partner and knowing herself. She explains how she always ends up losing herself in everything that she does, especially when her identity is tied to the person she is with. The last lines of the song beg her partner not to make her choose between loving them and knowing herself.

The lyrics of "Devotion" tackle a feeling of insecurity that is common in many relationships where one partner feels lost because of their devotion to the other. The song talks about the importance of finding and embracing your individuality while still being in love with someone else.
