I Wonder How
Yael Meyer Lyrics

The lyrics of Yael Meyer's song "I Wonder How" express regret, confusion, and a longing for forgiveness. The singer seems to be addressing someone they have wronged, but also feels wronged by, in the aftermath of an unexpected and difficult situation ("all this unexpected trouble"). The line "Surely I cannot imagine, what you must think of me now" suggests a sense of shame or guilt, while "It’s not the change that we expected/Nor something we protected for" implies a feeling of helplessness in the face of unforeseen circumstances. Despite these challenges, the singer still hopes for reconciliation, asking "will we find it in our hearts/to forgive the misregards and doubts?" The repetition of the line "I wonder how" reflects the singer's uncertainty and confusion, as they try to make sense of their emotions and the situation at hand.

The chorus's repeated phrase "Buried here beneath the rubble" creates a vivid image of being trapped and overwhelmed, and suggests that the singer feels buried by their own emotions and circumstances. The line "If I don’t even know within me/What it is that is still hindering me/from loving you like I do" speaks to the complex and sometimes mysterious nature of emotions, and the difficulty of overcoming personal obstacles to love and forgiveness. Overall, "I Wonder How" portrays a poignant and relatable struggle to navigate difficult relationships and moments of uncertainty, while also holding onto hope for reconciliation and understanding.
