Place in My Heart
Taylor McFerrin feat. RYAT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hidden in undergrounds
You are already here
Reveal to me
You are not in a place
That seems very safe
Someday I had a hard time
Even smiling
I couldn't pull myself to stand
I say heart keep on stop (repeats)
I say love keep on trying (repeats)
. love you same gal
You love the same man
Your heart just keeps on pumping
Our heart must keep on popping
I say heart keep on stop (repeats)
I say love keep on trying (repeats)
The lyrics "I can hear you darling, hidden in undergrounds, you are already here, reveal to me" suggest that the singer is looking for someone who is not easily visible or accessible. This could be interpreted as looking for love, as the traditional concept of finding true love may not be as straightforward as one might hope. It could also be interpreted as a search for deeper meaning or purpose.
The line "you are not in a place that seems very safe" suggests that this search for love or meaning may be a risky or uncomfortable endeavor. The singer acknowledges that they have had a hard time recently, as indicated by the lines "someday I had a hard time even smiling, and lately I couldn't lift myself up, I couldn't pull myself to stand." Despite these struggles, the singer is determined to keep moving forward, as indicated by the repetitions of "I say heart keep on stop" and "I say love keep on trying."
Overall, the lyrics seem to convey a message of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. The singer is willing to take risks and face discomfort in order to find what they are looking for, whether that be love or a deeper sense of purpose.
