iamamiwhoami Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come and save us from this ugly truth
Little hope, sprung from necessity
May all good things in life come to you
Little ghost, so innocent and carefree
They would never stop hunting you
Little voice, life got the best of me
Little hope, sing a song of fire
I grow up to be just like that
(little hope, little hope)
Sing a song of fire
Little hope, sing a song of fire
I grow up to be just like that
(little hope, little hope)
Sing a song of fire
(waited all my life)
Little hope, love is sung inside
If you want, you'll dream of life now
(little hope, little hope)
Sing a song of fire
I've seen the truth and it's nothing like you said
I've seen your picture of a perfect world
Now you can touch the halo around my crowned head
So many questions, so many things unsaid
"Y" by iamamiwhoami is a hauntingly beautiful song with elusive lyrics that might confuse you at first. But a close listen reveals that the song is about hope, innocence, and the inevitability of growing up and facing the harsh reality of the world. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song by using religious imagery of a heavenly home that provides refuge from the ugly truth of the world. The "little hope" in the song is a symbol of the innocence and purity that we all long for in this world.
The second verse is about the reality of growing up and facing the trials and tribulations that one encounters in life. The "little ghost" and "little voice" represent the feelings of being hunted and losing oneself in the face of adversity. The repetition of the phrase "sing a song of fire" is a call to action to keep hope alive in the face of despair. It evokes the image of a phoenix rising from the ashes, that hope springs eternal and that with resilience, one can navigate through tough times.
The third verse takes a more positive tone by suggesting that hope can be found in love. It says that love is sung inside, and if you want to dream of life, then sing a song of fire. This is a powerful message to all those who feel hopeless, that love exists and can be found if you have faith and sing a song of fire.
