UR
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open your mind...
Surely its time to be with me...
In a way its all a matter of time,
I will not worry for you you'll be just fine
You will surely see, a face that you recognise
[Chorus]
Your not alone
I'll wait till the end of time
Open your mind, surely its plain to see
Your not alone
I'll wait till the end of time for you
Open your mind, surely its time to be with me
It is the distance that makes life a little hard
Two minds that once were close now so many miles apart
I will not falter though, I hold on to your hope
Safely back where you belong
And see how our love has grown
[Chorus: x 4]
The song "UR" by Tiesto is a heartfelt message from a lover who is separated by distance. The lyrics begin by reassuring the listener that they are not alone and encouraging them to open their mind. The singer believes that it is time for them to be together and that it is all a matter of time. He tells them not to worry and to take his thoughts with them. When they look behind, they will see a familiar face that they recognize.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that the listener is not alone, and the singer will wait until the end of time for them. He urges them to open their mind and realize that they need to be with him. The second verse reflects on how distance can make life hard and talks about two minds that were once close but are now miles apart. Despite the distance, the singer promises not to falter and hold onto hope until they are back where they belong. He ends the song by emphasizing how much their love has grown.
Overall, Tiesto's "UR" is a beautiful message of hope, love, and longing for someone who is far away. The lyrics are uplifting and remind the listener that they are not alone, which can be reassuring when going through the pain of separation.

Wish I was a better man,
Wish I had a better plan for dealing with this
What am I, what am I to do now?
Maybe I should run away?
Maybe I could run away and never be found.
What am I, what am I to do?
The way I'm feeling
The dreams that I'm dreaming.
Can this really be happening?
Can this really be true?
Ur...
My love of my life,
My heart and my soul,
Just trying to keep the world from smashing, crashing in.
I had this dream the other night,
I had this crazy dream the other night.
How have I? How have I arrived here.
My heart is elated
But my head is exhausted
This is powerful magic
Can it really be true?
Ur...
My blood is in your blood,
My breathe is in your mouth.
Just trying to keep the world from smashing, crashing in.
What about us? What about all the plans that we made?
What about all those careful plans?
Just careful plans we made up
Ah, nothing's clear.
Full of fear,
Full of hope,
Full of you.
My love of my life,
My hole in my soul,
Just trying to keep the world from smashing, crashing in.
Ur...
My blood is in your blood,
Just trying to keep the world from smashing, crashing in.

Bought the album back in the day and lost it now. This was one of my faves, always would've loved an instrumental version. Reminds me of Depeche mode.

I just realised I can't tell if the guy is sad because he lost the love of his life or happy because he found it. I always thought it was a sad song, but it could also be a happy song. This is some powerful stuff.
@okgoohno20
Cesar Pantoja neither sad or happy, its something in between. While being amazed and electrified by its magic but exhausted for its unsureness
@NoneOfYourusinesss
