Ik Zie
Xander de Buisonjé Lyrics

The opening lines of the song, "Mijn lichaam is op/Mijn hoofd in de regen" translate to "My body is done/My head in the rain." This gives us a sense of the singer's exhaustion and feeling of being emotionally overwhelmed. The second line, "Een leugen is hier/Het past er niet bij" translates to "A lie is here/It doesn't fit in." This suggests that there is something in the singer's life that doesn't feel quite right or is causing conflict. The next line, "Mijn geweten verstopt/Maar op afstand schreeuwt het naar mij" translates to "My conscience hidden/But shouting at me from afar." This line reveals that the conflict in the singer's life is likely related to some kind of guilt or misdeed.

The second verse starts with "Mijn hart is moe/Alle waarheid versleten" which means "My heart is tired/All truth worn out." This gives us a sense of the singer's emotional state, that they are worn down and maybe feeling hopeless. The next two lines, "Van alles naar niets/Niets meer in mij" translate to "From everything to nothing/Nothing left in me." This line emphasizes the contrast between how things used to be and how they are now. The line "En nu gaat het gemis/Ver aan alle grenzen voorbij" means "And now the loss goes beyond all boundaries." This could mean that the loss the singer feels is so great that it's hard to even put into words.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "En ik zie" which means "And I see" in English. The lyrics go on to say that everything is different since the person the singer is addressing is gone, and there is no peace without them. The line "Neem me in je armen terug" translates to "Take me back in your arms," which emphasizes the singer's desire to be reunited with the person they've lost.
