Sweet Things
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Burn me a fire
Rest something in my empty hands
Fill it with light
Fill me tonight
I figured that you would understand
Up until dawn
Feeling you poor me in out in
Under again
Under my skin
Guiding me through this hall of fears
Sweet things build on these
Sweet things build on me
Sweet things build on these
Sweet things bring to me
Sing in my head
Omnipotent
Circling momentum round and round
Quenching my thirst
First for my thought
Second to fill my silent mouth
Sweet things build on these
Sweet things build on me
Sweet things build on these
Sweet things bring to me
Sweet things build on these
Sweet things build on me
Sweet things build on these
Sweet things bring to me
The first stanza of "Sweet Things" by Tiesto is a plea for comfort, asking someone to bridge the emotional gap the singer is experiencing. The singer wants to be comforted in some way that is palpable, perhaps through a real-life gesture such as holding someone's hands, or through a more symbolic one like being filled with light. The singer seems sure that the addressee will understand their needs, and they are willing to wait until they get what they need.
In the second stanza, the singer dwells on a moment shared with the addressee, where they were together until dawn. Though we don't know exactly what transpired between them, we sense that the singer feels close to the addressee, even though they are "under again under my skin." The singer is asking the addressee to guide them through their fears, presumably because the addressee has done this before.
The chorus offers a simple and catchy refrain, pointing out that "sweet things" build upon the singer's current level of comfort. The repetition of this line emphasizes its importance, perhaps suggesting that the singer's comfort level is something that requires ongoing attention.
