The Perishers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope that's what you've
Come to be
It feels as though we've
Made amends
Like we found a way
Eventually
The pieces up
When I was a broken soul
And then glued me
Back together
Returned to me what
Others stole
I don't want to hurt you
I don't want to make you sway
Like I know I've done before
I will not do it anymore
I've always been a dreamer
I've had my head among
The clouds
Now that I'm coming down
Won't you be my solid ground?
I look at you and see a friend
I hope that's what you want to be
Are we back now where
It all began?
Have you finally forgiven me?
You gathered my dreams in
When they all blew away
And then tricked them
Back into me
You saved me I was
Almost dead
You saved me when I was almost dead.
I don't want to hurt you,
I don't want to make you sway.
Like I've done before,
I will not do it anymore.
[Repeat x2]
I've always been a dreamer,
I've had my head among the clouds.
But now that I´m coming down,
Won't you be my solid ground?
The Perishers’ “Sway” is a song about reconciliation after a rough patch, where the singer talks to someone as a friend, hoping that’s what they are now. They feel like they’ve made amends and found a way to move on, after this person had picked up the broken pieces and returned what others had taken from them. The singer admits that they were a dreamer with their head in the clouds, who hurt the person before and made them sway, but that they won’t do it anymore. They want the person to be their solid ground as they come down from their lofty dreams.
The song’s lyrics are simple and elegant, taking a look at the human experience of forgiveness, vulnerability, and the need for a strong support network for our dreams. The singer acknowledges that they caused pain before and don't want to do it again, but they are now willing to look at and address their shortcomings. They ask for forgiveness and try to build on this mutual trust to forge a stronger relationship. The Perishers emphasize the importance of not just having a dream but also understanding that no one can achieve their dreams alone. They need someone to help them achieve their goals and be their support system when things go wrong.

The fact that a person comes here's after hearing the song on a t.v. series shows that they have a good taste in music. I mean, you hear it only partialy or sometimes for only a couple seconds. You have to have a good ear for music pick out that specific song to search up.
