Brilliance Of You
Vonder & Bloom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen
Cause I've got something on my mind
I know you're not the talking kind
You're building
Castles
That no one ever gets to see
And it's getting kind of lonely
They don't have a clue
Of the brilliance of you
They don't know you
Like I do
And I
I know they can't see
The million things I see
They don't know you
I know you
So, let go
And let them- talk about the things they fear
Cause you've got nothing left to prove here
Just build your, castles
That they can't wrap their heads around
They can't reach you from their safe ground
They don't have a clue
Of the brilliance of you
They don't know you
Like I do
And I
I know they can't see
The million things I see
They don't know you
I know you
Just so,
let them stay right in the safe place that they understand
Let them lock their doors and tell you that you don't fit in
They don't have a clue
Of the brilliance of you
They don't know you
Like I do
And I
I know they can't see
The million things I see
They don't know you
I know you

Sit down
Pay attention and listen to what I have to say
Listen
Give me your undivided attention
Cause I've got something on my mind
I have something important to tell you
I know you're not the talking kind
I understand that you're not one to speak much
You're building
You're creating
Castles
Figurative representation of your ambitions and dreams
That no one ever gets to see
Your dreams and goals remain inside your mind, not visible to others
And it's getting kind of lonely
You're feeling isolated and alone in your pursuits
They don't have a clue
Others are unaware
Of the brilliance of you
They are unaware of your incredible potential and qualities
They don't know you
Others lack understanding of who you really are
Like I do
I understand you completely
And I
I, as a friend or supporter
I know they can't see
Others are unable to perceive
The million things I see
I see countless valuable qualities in you
So, let go
Release any insecurities or doubts
And let them- talk about the things they fear
Allow others to express their fears and concerns without letting them affect your aspirations
Cause you've got nothing left to prove here
You have already done everything you needed to do, now it's time to focus on your growth
Just build your, castles
Keep working towards your dreams and goals
That they can't wrap their heads around
Others are unable to comprehend the magnitude of your ambitions
They can't reach you from their safe ground
They are limited by their own fear and safety, and cannot understand your boldness
Just so,
Therefore,
let them stay right in the safe place that they understand
Allow others to remain safe in their own comfort zones without letting their limitations affect you
Let them lock their doors and tell you that you don't fit in
Don't allow others to dictate your worth or potential
They don't have a clue
They still lack understanding
Of the brilliance of you
They still are unaware of your incredible potential and qualities
They don't know you
They still don't truly understand who you are
Like I do
I, as someone who understands and sees your unique brilliance
And I
Continuing to show support and encouragement
I know they can't see
They are still unable to perceive
The million things I see
I still see countless valuable qualities in you
They don't know you
Reiterating the fact that others are still unaware of your true potential
I know you
Stating that the artist still understands and supports you

Geweldige video! Mijn vriendinnetje heeft me kennis laten maken met jullie muziek op Schiphol en begon dit liedje voor me te zingen, zo mooi! Ze heeft ook de CD voor me gekocht <3
@brianonlinenl
Wat een prachtig mooie, pure en emotionele videoclip met een hele mooie boodschap! Veel succes, en ik hoop dat het een ontzettend grote hit wordt, maar daar heb ik alle vertrouwen in. Groetjes van een collega-muzikant. Brian

Zo'n fantastisch mooi nummer. De tekst is ook grandioos en ook wel herkenbaar voor veel mensen! Er is ook een album van Vonder & Bloom waar oa dit nummer op staat. ZEKER de moeite waard om te kopen.
