Open Up
lullaboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be a part of me
Only pieces
Makes it hard to love
All that you are
And I think that I want you more
I don't know when
All I need is
A little room for me
And I'll quietly wait
'Til you knock on my open door, mm
When the rain comes and washes away
All of my sins and all my mistakes
I'll be reminded that seasons can change
And I'll never be the same
So don't ever leave
I'll try to open up, open up to you
Don't let me be, I know
I'll fall in love, fall in love with you
Will you be there? Will you settle in?
Do I compare when you feel my skin?
So hurry back home, 'cause you're everything I adore
Oh, when the rain comes and washes away
All of my sins and all my mistakes
I'll be reminded that seasons can change
And I'll never be the same
So don't ever leave
I'll try to open up, open up to you
Don't let me be, I know
I'll fall in love, fall in love with you
Don't ever leave
I'll try to open up, open up to you
Don't let me be, no
I'll fall in love, fall in love with you
The lyrics of Lullaboy's song "Open Up" are about the struggle of opening up emotionally in a relationship. The singer sings about their desire to become vulnerable and connect with their partner on a deeper level, but the fear of being hurt and rejected keeps holding them back. The song's opening lines, "Be my reason, be a part of me, only pieces make it hard to love," show how the singer wants to be fully invested in the relationship but feels like they are only presenting fragments of themselves.
The chorus, "So don't ever leave, I'll try to open up, open up to you, Don't let me be, I know I'll fall in love, fall in love with you," expresses the singer's fear of losing their partner and their willingness to take a risk to let their guard down. They recognize that opening up is difficult but are willing to make a conscious effort to try.
The bridge of the song, which references rain washing away sins and mistakes, is a metaphor for the idea that hardships and challenges can lead to growth and change. The phrase "I'll never be the same" reflects the transformative power of difficult experiences, and the singer hopes that their relationship will also undergo a positive transformation.
Overall, the song's message is one of vulnerability and the importance of opening up emotionally. It acknowledges that it can be difficult, but ultimately, the rewards of a deeper, more meaningful connection are worth the risk.
