If I were you
Vivid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just far enough to leave
Before the ice might break
If I were you - At least I'd wait
Just close enough to get
What others might take
I'm moving across
I'm moving too fast
But how should I know?
I call to my past
Then turning my head
Present's what I got instead
I'm talkin' too loud
I whisper and moan
Sometimes I'm used to speak
Of nothing at all
I'm holding me down
And lift myself up
Though I'm half way there I stop
I'm wearing a frown
I'm cracking a smile
Sometimes I'm not so sure
Whom I habit for
I swim like a stone
A swallow it all
And sure I'm talking off o fall
Here we are
And we're all the same
Watch the tride roll in
And roll away again
In Vivid's song If I Were You, the lyrics explore the idea of different choices and paths in life, and the consequences that come with them. The first two lines of the song suggest the singer's belief that if they were in the other person's shoes, they would choose to leave before something bad happens. The next line, "Just close enough to get what others might take," implies that the person being addressed may have something valuable the singer wants, but they don't want to risk getting too close and losing it all. The next stanza begins with the singer talking about their own movements through life and how they often feel too slow or too fast.
The line, "I call to my past then turning my head, present's what I got instead," continues this theme of reflection and exploration of different paths. The singer seems to be uncertain of what direction they should go in and the line "I'm talking too loud, I whisper and moan" reflects this internal battle. They are holding themselves down but also trying to lift themselves up, but they often stop halfway through. The singer also mentions feeling unsure of who they are "habit for," suggesting that they may be living for other people's expectations rather than their own.
The final lines of the song, "Here we are and we're all the same, watch the tide roll in and roll away again," offers a sense of acceptance of the uncertainty of life and the inevitability of change. The tide, a natural force beyond human control, rolls in and out, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life and the fact that we are all subject to its changes.
